美國黑人天后〔黛安娜蘿絲〕重返娘家力作──New Jack Swing／R&B放克舞曲──〔Workin Overtime〕




Workin overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you dont disapprove
Cause Im workin overtime
Got to make a new start
Cause Im workin overtime
Workin hard

Boy, youve got to think
What your priorities are really all about
Its such a crazy - world
Were on the brink
Therell be no turning back once weve set out
So much left to - do
And so little time
Just read the news to say todays headlines
One idea can last forever
And heres the only way that I can prove it

Workin overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you dont disapprove
Cause Im workin overtime
Got to make a new start
Cause Im workin overtime
Workin hard

Boy I found a way
To raise the level of my self esteem
When I was just a - girl
I learned how to say
I will be proud I see
A me that will always achieve
One idea can last forever
And heres the only way that I can prove it

Workin overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you dont disapprove
Cause Im workin overtime
Got to make a new start
Cause Im workin overtime
Workin hard

And when you want someone
Ill be there for you
And when you need someone - Im dependable
When your world is falling apart
You can lean on me
And nothing will come between our hearts for all eternaty
One idea can last forever
And heres the only way that I can prove it

Workin overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you dont disapprove
Cause Im workin overtime
Got to make a new start
Cause Im workin overtime
Workin hard

Workin overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you dont disapprove
Cause Im workin overtime
Got to make a new start
Cause Im workin overtime
Workin hard

１９８１年　黑人天后黛安娜蘿絲（Diana Ross）離開娘家Motown唱片

與RCA簽下２０００萬美金的合約
創下當時女藝人簽約金最高紀錄　只是成績不如預期
這位前Motown女王在度過起起伏伏的六年後
決定重回娘家

起初她有點不情願　但在Motown創始者Berry Gordy jr.願意讓她成為公司部份業主　她才答應

１９８９年春天　４５歲的蘿絲推出〔Workin’ Overtime／加班〕大碟
這張專輯請回曾與瑪丹娜（Madonna） 杜蘭杜蘭（Duran Duran）合作
並為黛安娜製作出生涯最暢銷大碟──１９８１年〔Diana〕的前Chic團員Nile Rodgers操刀
首支同名單曲是首有著強勁放克節拍的R&B／New Jack Swing舞曲
可惜仍無法挽回黛安娜日漸下滑的聲勢
此曲登上黑人榜＃３ 舞曲銷售＃５ 舞廳播放榜＃１１ 英國＃３２
流行榜則沒打入

國際市場則是英國＃３２　澳洲＃９６
至於專輯則是＃１１６（UK＃２３）　這是黛安娜單飛後名次最低的一張大碟
僅次於她還在The Supreme時代的〔Funny Girl〕(＃１５０)
雖然成績不盡理想　不過〔Workin’ Overtime〕還是一首相當精彩的R&B舞曲
推薦給各位
