本周介紹一首Johnny Lee 演唱的電影《都市牛郎》（Urban Cowboy）的電影插曲（Looking For Love）°
本名Johnny Lee Ham 的 Johnny Lee，1946 年 7 月 3 日出生於德州，在德州東部 Alta Loma 的一個奶牛牧場場長大。擠牛奶的時候，Johnny Lee 會聽搖滾樂，他認為當時鄉村音樂的鼻音太重了。1960 年代初，他和一些聖菲高中的同學組了 Johnny Lee & The Road Runners 樂團。
畢業後日子結束後，Lee 成為一艘訪問越南的海軍巡洋艦水手長，四年
後來他平安回到家，開始在加州閒逛，他對自己的生活猶豫不決，後來決定加入音樂領域。
Johnny Lee 之後遇見了他的一位偶像鄉村歌手 Mickey Gilley，Mickey邀請 Johnny 全職加入他的樂團。 1971 年，米奇在德州開設了他的傳奇 Gilley俱樂部 (號稱“世界上最大的鄉村酒吧”)，Johnny Lee 在那裡擔任開場表演歌星。九年後，當約翰屈伏塔 (John Travolta) 的電影《都市牛郎》(1980) 去現場取景時， Johnny Lee 仍然是Mickey的得力助手。
Johnny Lee 是一位鄉村歌手及作曲人，1975-89年一共有 31 歌曲進鄉村歌曲排行榜，但於流行歌曲榜只有這首（Looking For Love）獲得第5名，也算是一首 one hit wonder 吧。

有歌迷說:最美好的回憶是《都市牛郎》那個時代！多麼有趣的時光啊，希望這一代的孩子也能有這樣的經驗！
Lookin' for Love
作詞/作曲：Bob Morrison / Patti Ryan / Wanda Mallette
Well, I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
Single bars and good time lovers were never true
Playing a fools game, hopin' to win
And tellin' those sweet lies and losin'
again
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes
Lookin' for traces of what I'm dreaming of
Hoping
to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover another heart
Lookin' for love
And I was alone then, no love in sight
And I did everything I could to get me through the night
Don't know where it started or where it might end
I turned to a stranger
just like a friend
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes
Lookin' for traces of what I'm dreaming of
Hoping
to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover another heart
Lookin' for love
You came knockin' on my heart's door
You're everything I've been looking for
No more lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes
Lookin' for traces of what I'm dreaming of
Now
that I found a friend and a lover
I bless the day I discover
You, oh you, lookin' for love
In all the wrong places
(Lookin' for love) in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes
Lookin' for traces of what I'm dreaming of
Now that I found a friend and
lover
I bless the day I discover
You, oh you, lookin' for love
In all the wrong places
