美國歌壇奇葩〔辛蒂蘿波〕與加拿大歌后〔席琳狄翁〕的交集──抒情搖滾傑作──〔I Drove All Night／整夜開車〕

I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, uh, huh

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night

What in this world
Keep us from tearing apart
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of your heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and dark
No one can move me
The way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
I drove all night... to hold you tight

這是為她寫過冠軍經典〔True Colors〕詞曲雙人組Tom Kelly＆Billy Steinberg的作品
本來是交給美國搖滾歌手羅伊歐比森（Roy Orbision）詮釋

他在１９８７年灌錄此曲　卻於１９８８年末驟世

因此Roy版直到１９９２年才問世

英國歌手John Waite也曾在１９８６／１９８７年灌錄〔I Drove All Night〕　但決定不發行

結果辛蒂的版本反而先推出
在〔I Drove All Night〕中　Cyndi 收起她原本高亢尖細的聲音
改以較為低沈渾厚的唱腔演繹　
讓這首抒情搖滾給人一種沈穩內斂的感覺
〔I Drove All Night〕在美國流行榜得到＃６ 　成為金唱片（５０萬張）
隔年也得到葛萊美獎最佳搖滾女歌手的提名

國際市場也有不錯成蹟　拿到英國＃７　義大利＃５　荷蘭＃７　澳洲＃８　法國＆紐西蘭＃１０　瑞典＃１１　愛爾蘭＃１３　德國＃１９　加拿大＃２０

儘管〔A Night To Remember／難忘的一夜〕評價良好

但歌迷似乎接受度不像以前那麼大　專輯在美國只拿到＃３７（金唱片）（雖然日本＃３　英國＃９成績不錯）
〔I Drove All Night〕也成為辛蒂最後一首美國暢銷曲
進入９０年代後　雖然實力依舊 但羅波很明顯走下坡了

〔I Drove All Night〕是我剛接觸西洋音樂聽到的歌曲

所以印象深刻　這也是我對 羅波 小姐的初次認識

加拿大歌后席琳狄翁（Celine Dion） 在２００３年大碟〔One Heart〕也曾翻唱此曲
推薦這首流行搖滾傑作給各位
