澳洲歌壇巨星[海倫芮迪]──流行佳作──[Keep On Singing/繼續歌唱]

 

(Keep on singing dont stop singing)

(Youre gonna be a star some day)

(Youre gonna make a lot of people happy)

(When they come to hear you play)

 

I dont remember mama

She died when I was born

We lived in a one room shanty

But daddy tried to make it a home

When I was only six years old

I started singing in the streets

People would throw me pennies

So I could daddy make ends meet

They said

 

Chorus:

 

Keep on singing

Dont stop singing

Youre gonna be a star someday

Youre gonna make a lot of people happy

When they come to hear you play

They said keep on singin

Keep the bells a ringin

 

Spread the music from town to town

Theres not enough song in this old world

So spread your song around

By the time I was 10 years old

I had a rock n roll band

Daddys eyes were growing dim

But I didnt understand

He said he would be so proud of me

Each time hed hear us play

At night hed pull me to his side

And daddy would always say

 

Chorus

 

He didnt have much money

But things didnt seem so bad

I felt just like the queen of the world

When I was with my dad

Then one rainy April night

Daddy called me to his side

He held me with his tremblin hands

Right before he died

 

Chorus

 

Chorus

 

Chorus

 

Fade

Songwriters: BOBBY HART, DANNY JANSSEN

1974年4月 距離上張金唱片大碟才八個月

以美國為事業重心的33歲半澳洲籍熱門歌手海倫芮迪(Helen Reddy)推出大碟[Love Song for Jeffrey]

維持她一貫的成人抒情/流行搖滾曲風 

首支主打[Keep On Singing/繼續歌唱]由Danny Janssen, Bobby Hart譜寫

原本是美國歌手Austin Roberts在1973年灌錄 當時拿到Billboard單曲榜#50

芮迪版則由Tom Catalano製作成一首流行曲  合聲層疊豐厚, 在中板的節奏逐漸將歌曲帶向高潮

此曲登上美國流行榜#15

另外在副榜Easy Listening/Adult Contemporary讓芮迪三度稱后  

此外加拿大#10 澳洲#22

在[Keep On Singing]與下首單曲[You and Me Against the World]的助益下

Love Song for Jeffrey]登上美國專輯榜#11 成為百萬金唱片

另外也登上加拿大專輯榜#6 成為海倫在當地最高名次

Anyway, 這是一首耐聽的流行曲
