The Animals-The House of the Rising Sun

  搖滾樂團The Animals吉他手Hilton Valentine去世(77歲)

  Hilton Valentine 是一位進入搖滾樂名人堂的知名吉他手。

  Animals的唱片公司ABKCO披露了這個消息。

  上週六的聲明中說 : 這個合唱團的團員從Hilton Valentine的太太Germaine得到他去世的消息，但她沒有說明死因。

  ABKCO 唱片公司在推特上聲明 : The Animals的創團吉他手Hilton Valentine是一位搖滾樂界的先進吉他手，他對後來幾個世代的搖滾樂有很大的影響。

  來自英格蘭的即興吉他手Hilton Valentine，是The Animals的創團吉他手，1966年Animals解散後，Valentine錄了幾張個人的專輯，包含All in Your Head (1969) 及 It's Folk 'N' Skiffle, Mate! (2004)，他也參加每一次Animals的重聚演唱會。

  Valentine 於1994年與該團其他團員一同進入搖滾樂名人堂，並於2001年進入好萊塢搖滾樂星光大道。

  搖滾樂團The Animals來自英格蘭Newcasstle-upon-Tyne，前身是the Alan Price Combo，主唱Eric Burdon，1964年The Animals以3週排行榜冠軍歌曲The House of the Rising Sun成名，這首歌在滾石雜誌歷年500大歌曲排行榜獲得第123名，主唱Eric Burdon說 :「我們想找一首吸引人注意的歌」，後來他們找到一首美國民歌House of the Rising Sun，並且放到1962年第一張專輯裡面。

  Bob Dylan曾唱過這首歌，描寫受困於南方妓院裡的一個女孩令人難過的故事。來自英格蘭生活艱苦煤礦城的Animals則把主角改成男孩，並加了電子琴伴奏，有一點爵士樂手Jimmy Smith名曲Walk on the Wild Side的味道。

  The House of the Rising Sun是一首搖滾樂的經典之作，除了主唱的歌聲外，吉他及電子琴的伴奏替全曲增色不少。

House Of The Rising Sun

The Animals, Eric Burdon & the Animals

Songwriters: Alan Price / Traditional

 

There is a house in New Orleans

They call The Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new blue jeans

My father was a gamblin' man

Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's all drunk

Oh mother, tell your children

Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train

I'm goin' back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans

They call The Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know I'm one

 

The Supremes & Four Tops -River Deep-Mountain High

  前Supremes的團員Mary Wilson 說 : The Supremes合唱團想要再度聯合演唱要看前主唱Diana Ross的意願。

  在一段訪問中Wilson表示 :「真的要看Diana的意願，我不覺得她想出來，那不可能，除非大家高高興興的重聚」。

  她在〈好萊塢報導〉的訪問中說 :「我過我的日子，我的看法是這樣，身為一個七十六歲半的老人，我希望坐在旁邊看事情的發展，我的母親曾說 : 不要為打翻的牛奶哭泣(覆水難收)，我現在有一點錢，而且過得很愉快」。

  Wilson 回憶2000年時就想找Diana Ross再度聯合演唱，但沒有實現。

  當年協商時發生了甚麼事 ? 「他們不願意付我身為創團元老團員該有的酬金，所以他們想換人，但我是1970年代The Supremes合唱團的一員，少了我就不是The Supremes合唱團了」。

  The Supremes來自底特律的黑人歌唱大本營Motown唱片公司，團員包括主唱Diana Ross、Mary Wilson、Florence Ballard(1976年因心臟病去世)及Barbra Martin，她們於1962-1969 年共獲得12首Billboard Hot 100 排行榜冠軍，1970-1976年Diana Ross離團單飛後他們繼續以The Supremes之名在歌壇奮鬥，也有4首Top 20的歌進排行榜，其中以1970年獲得過第7名的Stone Love名次最好，但是沒有Diana Ross的Supremes也沒有了冠軍歌曲，二年後就走下坡，不再有進Top 40 的歌。

  介紹一首1970年底The Supremes & Four Tops 合唱，獲得14名的暢銷歌曲River Deep-Mountain High。

      Four Tops也是Motown的要角之一，他們以冠軍曲I Can't Help Myself 成名(1965)。

Ooh, baby, river deep, mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If I lost you, would I cry

Oh, oh, oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young girl, did you have a puppy

That always followed you around?

Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy

No, I'll never let you down

'Cause it goes on and on like the river flows

And it gets deeper, baby, heaven knows

And it gets sweeter, baby, as it goes

Do I love you, my, oh, my

Phil Spector 與 The Ronettes-Be My Baby...

  著名的唱片製作人Phil Spector因感染新冠肺炎去世 (81歲)，Phil因開創一種用大量的樂器配音方式‘Wall of Sound’「錄音牆」(吉他、貝斯、鍵琴與一點弦樂) 而知名，1960年代前期他製作了the Crystals、the Ronettes 及 the Righteous Brothers這些合唱團與二重唱不少暢銷曲，是一位流行歌壇有影響力的大咖。

  2009 年Phil Spector因槍殺Lana Clarkson定讞而入獄服刑，這女子是一個夜店的女侍，2003年Phil在酒後從夜店帶 Lana出場回家後遇害，洛杉磯警方發現她倒在客廳的椅子上，一顆子彈打穿她的頭。

  Phil Spector  1940年出生於紐約Bronx區，後來成了巨星級作曲人、製作人與Philles唱片公司老闆。青少年時期他就組過一個叫the Teddy Bears的Doo Wop合唱團，1958年8月推出動聽歌謠“To Know Him Is to Love Him”獲得3週排行榜冠軍，當年Phil擔任吉他手。

  Phil Spector製作有13 首Top 10的單曲，其中有一些當年很紅的女子合唱團

的作品如“He's a Rebel”、“Uptown”、“Then He Kissed Me” 及 “Da Doo Ron Ron” 是the Crystals的歌，而 “Be My Baby” 及“Walking in the Rain” 則是the Ronettes的暢銷曲。

  他製作的the Righteous Brothers的名曲是“Unchained Melody” 與

“You've  Lost That Lovin’ Feeling”，後者是BMI全美電台最常播出100首名曲榜的冠軍歌曲。

  這位Spector先生以一個可及時識別的聽覺品牌，單槍匹馬的創了唱片製作人的專業形象，有創意的程度甚至超越他的藝人。

  Spector鮮明形象主要來自‘Wall of Sound「錄音牆」，1963年他在洛杉磯Gold Star錄音室和工程師Larry Levine、編曲Jack Nitzsche及鼓手Hal Blaine帶領的the Wrecking Crew與許多藝人參加的合聲團，以「錄音牆」成功的錄了the Ronettes的成名歌曲。「錄音牆」影響了很多製作人和從Beach Boys 到Bruce Springsteen的搖滾樂團及藝人。

  The Crystals 與the Ronettes二個女子合唱團具體實現Phil Spector的Wall of Sound「錄音牆」的構想，Ronettes的Veronica Bennett 還嫁給了Phil Spector(1968-1974) 。

  The Ronettes 1963年獲得Billboar Hot 100排行榜連續2週第2名的成名曲 Be My Baby(錢櫃雜誌#1) 後來還被 Eddie Money的Take Me Home Tonight(1986#4) 選為副歌，是一首難忘的旋律。

Fallin' in Love

Songwriters: Danny Robert Hamilton / Ann Marie Hamilton

 

Baby, baby, fallin' in love

I'm fallin' in love again

Baby, baby, fallin' in love

I'm fallin' in love again

I could never see what fate had meant for me

And then you came and made my dreams match reality

Maybe you can see all the things you've meant to me

And my simple fate is at the gate and, girl, you've got the key

Baby, baby, fallin' in love

I'm fallin' in love again

Baby, baby, fallin' in love

I'm fallin' in love again

It seems like yesterday you and I first loved this way

But now I know how love can grow with each and every day

As we lay at midnight's hour and feel love's hidden power

So strong and bold as life unfolds its mystery to me

Baby, baby, fallin' in love

I'm fallin' in love again

Baby, baby, fallin' in love

I'm fallin' in love again

You and me for eternity in love will always be

Young and free and that should be the way it's gotta be

Baby, baby, fallin' in love

I'm fallin' in love again

Baby, baby, fallin' in love

I'm fallin' in love again

She's into superstitions black cats and voodoo dolls

I feel a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall

 

She's into new sensations new kicks in the candle light

She's got a new addiction for every day and night

 

She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain

She'll make you live her crazy life but she'll take away your pain

Like a bullet to your brain

Come on!

She'll push and pull you down, living la vida loca

Her lips are devil-red and her skin's the color mocha

She will wear you out living la vida loca

Come on!

Living la vida loca

Come on!

She's living la vida loca

 

Woke up in New York City in a funky cheap hotel

She took my heart and she took my money

She must've slipped me a sleeping pill

 

She never drinks the water

Makes you order French Champagne

Once you've had a taste of her

You'll never be the same

Yeah, she'll make you go insane

Alright

 

Upside, inside out she's living la vida loca

She'll push and pull you down, living la vida loca

Her lips are devil-red and her skin's the color mocha

She will wear you out living la vida loca

Alright!

Living la vida loca

She's living la vida loca

 

She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain

She'll make you live her crazy life

But she'll take away your pain

Like a bullet to your brain

Come on!

 

Upside, inside out she's living la vida loca

She'll push and pull you down, living la vida loca

Her lips are devil-red and her skin's the color mocha

She will wear you out living la vida loca

Come on!

 

Upside, inside out she's living la vida loca

She'll push and pull you down, living la vida loca

Her lips are devil-red and her skin's the color mocha

She will wear you out living la vida loca
