英國/澳洲玉女巨星[奧莉薇亞.紐頓-強]──鄉村流行抒情曲──恬淡的[Please Mr. Please/拜託,先生,拜託]
In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox With the best of country music, old and new You can hear your five selections for a quarter And somebody elses songs when yours are through I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter And my friends around to help me ease the pain Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song And here I am just missing you again Please, Mr., please, dont play B-17 It was our song, it was his song, but its over Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean I dont ever wanna hear that song again If I had a dime for every time I held you Though youre far away, youve been so close to me I could swear Id be the richest girl in Nashville Maybe even in the state of Tennessee But I guess Id better get myself together Cause when you left, you didnt leave too much behind Just a note that said "Im sorry" by your picture And a song thats weighing heavy on my mind Please, Mr., please, dont play B-17 It was our song, it was his song, but its over Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean I dont ever wanna hear that song again
1975年2月 26歲的英國/澳洲玉女巨星奧莉薇亞.紐頓-強(Olivia Newton-John)發行專輯〔Have You Never Been Mellow〕 仍舊走鄉村/成人流行路線 John Farrar製作 在同名單曲的支撐下 登上美國Billboard專輯榜后座 成為奧莉薇亞第二張冠軍大碟 拿到百萬金唱片(當時尚未有白金) 加拿大#3(雙白金唱片) 紐西蘭#20 英國#37 並登上日本榜#4 讓奧莉薇亞打入東瀛市場
1975年6月, 紐頓-強推出大碟第二單曲[Please Mr. Please/拜託,先生,拜託] 此曲由英國貓王克理夫理察(Cliff Richard)的合聲樂團The Shadows 的團員Bruce Welch + John Rostill譜寫 此曲是講述女主角和朋友在酒館裡,看到一個顧客在自動點唱機試圖播放“B-17”, 這首歌引發女主角破裂感情的痛苦回憶, 乞求“按鈕式牛仔”(歌曲標題的“Mr”)別播放不受歡迎的歌曲。 John Farrar製作成一首鄉村流行抒情曲,在恬淡的編曲中, 紐頓-強以她細緻的嗓音娓娓詮釋這段傷心的回憶. Bruce Welch原先自己灌錄, 並在1974年發行單曲, 但商業不成功 奧莉薇亞的翻唱是首鄉村流行抒情曲, 在恬淡的樂聲中, 紐頓-強的嗓音細緻感性
[Please Mr. Please]登上Billboard單曲榜#3 為其連續第五首Top10流行榜熱門曲(1975年終#49) 副榜-Easy Listening榜冠軍三週 鄉村歌曲榜#5 銷售逾百萬張, 為其第五張金唱片單曲 錢櫃雜誌單曲榜冠軍(1975年終#26) 加拿大單曲榜冠軍(1975年終#24) 鄉村榜冠軍 紐西蘭#7 澳大利亞#35 由於當年表現亮眼, 紐頓-強成為1975年Billboard年終專輯女藝人冠軍 美國音樂獎-最受喜愛流行/搖滾女藝人, 最受喜愛鄉村女藝人 錢櫃雜誌──年度單曲女歌手冠軍&年度專輯女歌手冠軍 鞏固她美國歌壇玉女巨星寶座 這是奧莉薇亞事業的一大名作
