緬懷一代黑人天后〔惠妮休斯頓〕──歐洲榜冠軍──流行經典──〔My Love Is Your Love/摯愛〕
Writer: JEAN, WYCLEF / DUPLESSIS, JERRY
(Clap your hands y'all, it's alright...)
If tomorrow is judgment day (Sing Mommy)
And I'm standing on the front line
And the Lord asks me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you
If I wake up in World War III
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It's okay if you're coming with me
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couln't hold us
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couln't hold us
If I lose my fame and fortune
And I'm homeless on the street
And I'm sleeping in Grand Central Station
It's okay if you're sleeping with me
As the years they pass us by
We stay young through each other's eyes
And no matter how old we get
It's okay as long as I got you baby
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couln't hold us
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couln't hold us
If I should die this very day
Don't cry, 'cause on Earth we weren't meant to stay
And no matter what the people say
I'll be waiting for you after the judgment day
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couln't hold us
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couln't hold us
留意新聞的人應該會注意到美國黑人天后惠妮休斯頓已於昨日過世
1985年惠妮休斯頓(Whitney Houston)推出首張專輯時
曾被滾石雜誌愈為樂壇‘近年最令人興奮的嗓音之一’
接下來的表現也的確讓人興奮 發行數張大賣專輯
並在1992年末/1993年以電影〔The Bodyguard/終級保鑣〕及其原聲帶登上事業最高峰
1998年 35歲的惠妮休斯頓發行〔My Love Is Your Love/摯愛〕大碟
起先反應並不理想(只拿到美國告示榜#13)
但在三首暢銷曲的推波助瀾下 讓專輯在全球大賣一千多萬張
1999年6月 惠妮推出專輯第四首主打──也是大碟標題曲〔My Love Is Your Love〕
此曲原版由海地音樂人Wyclef Jean製作 是首中慢版的雷鬼R&B
不過為配合國際市場 邀來美國的Jonathan Peters混成空間感相當浩瀚的舞曲版
結果大受歡迎 登上歐洲冠軍 賣出一百多萬張(年終#7)
英國拿亞軍 賣出50幾萬張 拿到金唱片
德國亦是亞軍 成為白金 賣出50萬張
紐西蘭冠軍 荷蘭/瑞典/瑞士/奧地利/愛爾蘭亞軍
比利時(法蘭德斯區)#3 挪威#4 丹麥#5 比利時(華隆尼亞區)#9 法國/加拿大#10 芬蘭#12 西班牙#13 奧地利#27
美國直到8月才發行(原來的雷鬼R&B版) 拿到單曲榜#4(R&B榜亞軍 舞廳播放亞軍) 也賣出1百多萬張 成為白金唱片
〔My Love Is Your Love〕是惠妮事業中全球最暢銷的單曲之一
原版雖然不錯 但個人覺得舞曲混音的國際版更出色
就以〔My Love Is Your Love〕來緬懷這位曾叱吒一時的黑人天后
原版(MV看起來還有點神似當時大紅的黑人歌手蘿倫希爾)
