黑人舞曲公主〔西西潘妮斯頓〕──舞廳冠軍經典──〔Finally〕

〔Finally〕
CHORUS: Finally it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
My feelin's can't describe it
Finally it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

Meeting Mr. Right, the man of my dreams
The one and only true love or at least it seems
With brown coco skin and curly black hair
It's just the way he looks at me, that gentle lovin' stare

Finally you come along
The way I feel about you it just can't be wrong
If you only knew the way I feel about you
I just can't describe him oh no no

CHORUS
CHORUS

It seemed so many times he seemed to be the one
But all he ever wanted was to have a little fun
But now you've come along and brightened up my world
In my heart I feel it I'm that special kind of girl

Finally you come along
The way I feel about you it just can't be wrong
If you only knew the way I feel about you
I just can't describe him oh no no

CHORUS
CHORUS

Finally
Ooooooooh finally yeah yeah
Oh

RAP: True love, a feelin' I never knew
Until you came into my life and now it's real
I never knew that I would find the time
Before you I thought love was blind

And my life was coastin' out my emotion
Too strong for words, you're set for devotion
A-pushin' me from mutual attraction
True love, the chemical reaction

Then my actions
Reflect those of a way to makin' this a better love
A never ending plan like man and wife
Flavourful to my life like a spice

Summon me to death, you're my big mean of protection
My one and only source of affection
So I'm puttin' all games behind me
I've been lookin' for the key to love and I've found it finally

CHORUS (to fade)

１９９１年　在美國舞曲界出現兩位出色的非裔新人

一位是以〔Gypsy WomanShe’s Homeless（吉普賽女郎〕成名的水晶女郎（Crystal Waters）
另一名則是西西潘妮斯頓（CeCe Peniston）
１９６９年出生的西西是個外表頗富喜感的可愛女孩

１９８９年曾當選亞利桑那州黑人小姐　有著一副寬厚有力的歌喉
１９９０年與A&M簽約　在饒舌女歌手Overweight Pooch的單曲〔I Like It〕中客串
１９９１年秋天　西西推出個人也參與寫作的首支單曲〔Finally〕
這是節奏強勁　旋律愉悅的House舞曲　潘妮斯頓強勁的黑人嗓音將其詮釋得活力十足

迅速在舞池走紅　拿下舞廳播放與舞曲銷售榜皆獲得冠軍

緊接著進軍主流市場後　也獲得成功　登上美國單曲榜＃５　節奏藍調榜＃２６　銷售達到金唱片 （＞５０萬張）
開啟了潘妮斯頓風光的舞曲事業

〔Finally〕在國際市場也相當成功　原本拿到英國＃２９

後來推出混音版發新發行　登上英國亞軍（銷售達到銀唱片＞２０萬張）

另外愛爾蘭是＃５　澳洲＃８　奧地利＃９　瑞士＃１２　德國＃１６　法國＃３９

１９９２年初西西首張大碟也已〔Finallay〕為名　並陸續推出五首在流行　黑人或舞曲界成功的單曲

出色的成績也讓她成為１９９２年Billboard最佳新人與美國舞曲年度女藝人

潘妮斯頓在９０年代前半期美國舞曲界相當受到歡迎
只是後來唱片公司要她隨波逐流開發黑人R&B市場
可惜並不成功　又流失原有的舞曲歌迷
兩面不討好的下場是提早結束她在主流市場的風光
不過至少西西唱出了許多舞曲傑作

這首〔Finally〕就是她事業最成功也最著名的代表作
