美國黑人歌姬［佩蒂拉貝爾］──靈魂／福音抒情曲──［When Youve Been Blessed (Feels Like Heaven)］

In a world

Of superheros

In a world

Of weak and strong

In a sea of have and have nots

Ive survived the raging storm

And I pray for a world

Where we all can be free

Its a heavenly vision

Its a garden I see

Nothing but joy

Nothing but peace

Let it be

When youve been blessed

Feels like heaven

Heaven

When youve been blessed

Feels like Heaven

Heaven

I have faith

I have hope

And I trust in the day

When the music

From Heaven

Will show us the way

Its a garden of music

Its a garden of love

And we all are His children

Sharing gifts from above

When youve been blessed

Feels like Heaven

Heaven

When youve been blessed

Feels like Heaven

Heaven

When youve been blessed

Feels like Heaven

Heaven

When youve been blessed

Pass it on

Pass it on

Why dont you?

Why dont you?

Pass it on

And on

And on

And on

When youve been blessed

Thats what it feels like

Yes

Therell be no more sorrow

No more pain

Nothing but joy, joy, joy

No more sickness

No more strife

Nothing but love, love, love

And everybody we will get together and say

(Heaven) Say

(Heaven) Say

Thats what it feels like

When youve been blessed

Im blessed

Yes, I am

I talked to my mother

My father

My sistas

And they said, girl, you are blessed

So pass it on

Pass it on

Dont keep it to yourself

Were not talking about prayer

Talking about yourself

Not silver or gold

Something

Somewhere

Youve got to pass it on

１９９１年秋天　４７歲的美國黑人靈魂歌姬佩蒂拉貝爾（Patti LaBelle）

推出第十一張專輯［Burnin’／燃燒］（MCA唱片）

穫得良好評價（滾石雜誌三星半）

隔年並以［Burnin’］與麗莎費雪（Lisa Fischer）共同拿到葛萊美R&B女歌手

首支單曲［Feel Like Another One］拿下Billboard副榜－R&B榜＃３

第二主打［Somebody Loves You Baby（You Know Who It Is）／某個愛你的人（你知道是誰）］拿到Billboard副榜－R&B榜亞軍］

１９９２年３月, 就在佩蒂拿下葛萊美R&B女歌手後,

MCA為其推出第三主打［When Youve Been Blessed (Feels Like Heaven)／當你受到祝福(彷彿在天堂)］

此曲由拉貝爾,前拉被二團體成員, Nona Hendryx,James "Budd" Ellison,Nathaniel Wilkie合寫

佩蒂與"Budd" Ellison共同製作成一首靈魂／福音抒情曲

在柔美的旋律中, 拉貝爾與合聲搭配和諧

跟前兩首主打逼樣, ［When Youve Been Blessed (Feels Like Heaven)］仍沒擠入Billboard單曲榜

但在副榜－R&B榜表現依舊優異, 拿到＃４　

三首R&B熱門曲讓大碟的銷售鴨子滑水　在美國賣出金唱片（５０萬張＋）佳績
