美國黑人歌姬［娜妲莉．高］＆猶太裔娛樂天后［芭芭拉史翠珊］的交集──流行抒情曲──［Someone That I Used To Love／某個我愛過的人］

When I wake up each morning trying to find myself
And if Im ever the least unsure, I always remind myself
Though youre someone in this world that Ill always choose to love
From now on youre only someone that I used to love

As for me its getting down to the last unspoken part
When you must begin to ease the pain of a broken heart
Tell me why should I even care if I have to lose your love
From now on youre only someone that I used to love

Yet it wasnt enough for you
All the love I had to give
I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess youll never know how much I tried, I really tried

And if ever our paths should cross again
Well, you wont find me being the one to get lost again
Once I had so much to give but you just refused my love
From now on youre only someone that I used to love

I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess youll never know how much I tried, I really tried

When I wake up each morning trying to find myself
And if Im ever the least unsure, I always remind myself
Though youre someone in this world that Ill always choose to love
From now on youre only someone that I used to love
From now on youre only someone that I used to love

Though youre someone in this world that Ill always choose to love
From now on youre only someone that I used to love
From now on youre only someone that I used to love

美國黑人歌姬娜妲莉．高（Natalie Cole）１９７５年出道後一砲而紅

度過了成功的７０年代後期

可是進入８０年代後　她的事業下滑

１９８０年５月　３０歲的高推出［Don’t Look Back］專輯

製作人除長期伙伴Chuck Jackson＆Marvin Yancy外　還加入猶太裔情歌聖手Michael Masser

首支單曲便選擇後者與作詞家Gerry Goffin合寫的［Someone That I Used To Love／某個我愛過的人］

這首流行抒情曲旋律優美　詞意感傷

在優美的鋼琴聲　高娓娓演繹一段逝去的戀情

［Someone That I Used To Love］登上美國單曲榜＃２１

另外靈魂榜亦是＃２１

成人抒情榜則創下新高　登上＃３

雖然單曲表現中等　但專輯卻銷售不佳

只登上Billboard流行榜＃７７　靈魂榜＃１７　創下個人事業新低

接下來　娜妲莉連續三張皆表現不佳　並染上酗酒惡習

直到１９８７年才以［Everlasting］大碟重振聲勢

我在多年前便聽過［Someone That I Used To Love］

但那是芭芭拉史翠珊（Barbra Streisand）１９８９年的翻唱　且以為她是原唱

直到今年初（2016）因娜妲莉去世　才發現原來這才是原版
