  春節假期特別推薦一首Patti LaBelle演唱的電影插曲:Eddie Murphy主演的「比佛利山超級警探」(Beverly Hills Cup)裡的〈Stir It Up〉。這部喜劇百看不厭 ,就讓 Patti LaBelle的 演唱勾起你的回憶囉。

 

 

Patti LaBelle - On My Own ft. MICHAEL MCDONALD

歌迷:想到 80年代是真正藝術家的最後一個十年，也是一代人真正獨樹一格的時代，我不禁熱淚盈眶。我無比懷念80年代，更讓我難過的是，再也不會有像80年代那樣的時代了…

Patti LaBelle - Stir It Up (1984) Beverly Hills Cop - Soundtrack

歌迷:為什麼音樂不能再這樣了？振奮人心、風趣幽默、激動人心、鼓舞士氣……而不是令人沮喪、消沉、氣餒，甚至還有其他我不知道的負面情緒。為什麼？ ？

 

 

On My Own

written by Burt Bacharach & Carole Bayer Sager.

 

 [Verse 1: Patti LaBelle]
So many times
Said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Something in my heart always knew
I'd be lying here beside you

On my own
On my own
On my own

[Verse 2: Michael McDonald]
So many promises never should be spoken
Now I know what loving you cost
Now we're up to talking divorce
And we weren't even married

[Patti LaBelle]
On my own
Once again now
One more time
By myself
No one said it was easy
No

[Bridge: Michael McDonald]
But it once was so easy
[Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald]
Well, I believed in love (I believe)
Now here I stand
I wonder why
Ooh

[Chorus: Patti LaBelle]
I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
(On my own)
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again

[Verse 3: Michael McDonald]
So many times
I know I could have told you
Losing you
It cut like a knife
Hey
You walked out and there went my life
I don't want to live without you

[Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald]
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to end
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again
On my own
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
By myself
On my own
I've got to find out where I belong again
I've got to learn to be strong again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
By myself, by myself, by myself
I've got to find out what was mine again
My heart is saying that it's time again
And I have faith that I will shine again
By myself
I have faith in me
Oh
I know I'll make it
By myself, by myself
