英國歌壇紅星[露露]with[迪克西飛行者]──早期R&B/白人靈魂抒情曲──[To The Other Woman (Im The Other Woman)/致第三者(我就是第三者)]
My friends all ask me if I know the real you And I say, yes, I know my man Know all about his other woman So to me, that′s nothing new They say please, dont get offended They′re only trying to help me So I wont mess up my life They dont know to the other woman, I′m the other woman And the other woman, she′s his wife Everybody calls me stupid For playing second fiddle At least I know Im number two Oh, but all you so-called friends With your supposedly single men Tell me, tell me what number are you? If there′s any backstabbing being done Oh, Im the guilty one She has no reason for the knife ′Cause to the other woman, Im the other woman And the other woman, she′s his wife Im going to try and keep this man In every, every way I can Cause he means the world to me But I won′t be his degradation Between his obligations to his wife and family ′Cause one day, the door will close And I wont see him anymore But like the old folks say, that′s life To him, Ill just be the other woman And the other woman will always be his wife Oh yeah, to him, I′ll just be the other woman And the other woman will always be his wife Yes, she will, oh, yes, she will Just be the other woman Shell be his wife And the other woman will always be his wife I′ll be the other woman
1970年6月,21歲半的英國蘇格蘭女歌手/演員露露(Lulu)推出大碟[Melody Fair/旋律市集](Atco唱片發行). 由Arif Mardin, Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd製作,樂評褒貶不一. 《Allmovie》稱: 「由於露露最富靈魂的特質通常被迎合大眾口味的歌曲和製作所壓製或掩蓋,這張1970年的專輯似乎具備所有成為藍眼靈魂樂經典之作的要素,堪比達絲蒂斯普林菲爾(Dusty Springfiel)60年代末的專輯。」 「然而,正如許多看似誘人的菜餚最終卻令人失望的案例一樣,最終的成品卻差強人意,整體效果未能達到預期。它並不差,只是缺乏亮點。 這些歌曲不夠出彩,編曲也缺乏亮點,而且還生硬地穿插了幾首披頭四和比吉斯的歡快流行歌曲。但並非全是時機問題;露露本人似乎也從未像過去那樣盡情釋放歌喉,除了幾個略帶放克風格的片段。」
由於大眾反應冷漠,並未入榜. 第三單曲[To The Other Woman (Im The Other Woman)/致第三者(我就是第三者)](Lulu with The Dixie Flyers) 由Jerry Williams, Jr., Gary U.S. Bonds創作, Arif Mardin, Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd製作成一首早期R&B/白人靈魂抒情曲, 並有錄音室樂團──迪克西飛行者(The Dixie Flyers)伴奏. 在悠緩慵懶的樂聲中,露露沙啞又扎實嗓音詮釋出身為第三者的癡傻與無奈.
[To The Other Woman (Im The Other Woman)]未入榜. 這是露露與Atco唱片公司合約下的第二張大碟. 露露於1970年11月開始製作她的第三張專輯,但該專案最終未能完成。 儘管她與Atco唱片公司的合約一直持續到1972年,但她在該廠牌下再未發行過專輯,只有一些零星的、鮮為人知的單曲。 此後露露進入其事業的冰河期,直到1974年曾成功東山再起.
