    英國歌壇紅星[露露]with[迪克西飛行者]──早期R&B/白人靈魂抒情曲──To The Other Woman (Im The Other Woman)/致第三者(我就是第三者)

     

    My friends all ask me if I know the real you

    And I say, yes, I know my man

    Know all about his other woman

    So to me, that′s nothing new

    They say please, dont get offended

    They′re only trying to help me

    So I wont mess up my life

    They dont know to the other woman, I′m the other woman

    And the other woman, she′s his wife

    Everybody calls me stupid

    For playing second fiddle

    At least I know Im number two

    Oh, but all you so-called friends

    With your supposedly single men

    Tell me, tell me what number are you?

    If there′s any backstabbing being done

    Oh, Im the guilty one

    She has no reason for the knife

    ′Cause to the other woman, Im the other woman

    And the other woman, she′s his wife

    Im going to try and keep this man

    In every, every way I can

    Cause he means the world to me

    But I won′t be his degradation

    Between his obligations to his wife and family

    ′Cause one day, the door will close

    And I wont see him anymore

    But like the old folks say, that′s life

    To him, Ill just be the other woman

    And the other woman will always be his wife

    Oh yeah, to him, I′ll just be the other woman

    And the other woman will always be his wife

    Yes, she will, oh, yes, she will

    Just be the other woman

    Shell be his wife

    And the other woman will always be his wife

    I′ll be the other woman

     

     

    1970年6月21歲半的英國蘇格蘭女歌手/演員露露(Lulu推出大碟[Melody Fair/旋律市集]Atco唱片發行)

    Arif Mardin, Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd製作,樂評褒貶不一. 

    Allmovie稱:

    「由於露露最富靈魂的特質通常被迎合大眾口味的歌曲和製作所壓製或掩蓋,這張1970年的專輯似乎具備所有成為藍眼靈魂樂經典之作的要素,堪比達絲蒂斯普林菲爾(Dusty Springfiel)60年代末的專輯。」

    然而,正如許多看似誘人的菜餚最終卻令人失望的案例一樣,最終的成品卻差強人意,整體效果未能達到預期。它並不差,只是缺乏亮點。

    這些歌曲不夠出彩,編曲也缺乏亮點,而且還生硬地穿插了幾首披頭四和比吉斯的歡快流行歌曲。但並非全是時機問題;露露本人似乎也從未像過去那樣盡情釋放歌喉,除了幾個略帶放克風格的片段。

     

    由於大眾反應冷漠,並未入榜.

     

    第三單曲[To The Other Woman (Im The Other Woman)/致第三者(我就是第三者)](Lulu with The Dixie Flyers

    Jerry Williams, Jr., Gary U.S. Bonds創作,

    Arif Mardin, Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd製作成一首早期R&B/白人靈魂抒情曲,

    並有錄音室樂團──迪克西飛行者(The Dixie Flyers)伴奏.

    在悠緩慵懶的樂聲中,露露沙啞又扎實嗓音詮釋出身為第三者的癡傻與無奈.

     

    To The Other Woman (Im The Other Woman)]未入榜.

     

    這是露露與Atco唱片公司合約下的第二張大碟.

    露露於197011月開始製作她的第三張專輯,但該專案最終未能完成。

    儘管她與Atco唱片公司的合約一直持續到1972年,但她在該廠牌下再未發行過專輯,只有一些零星的、鮮為人知的單曲。

    此後露露進入其事業的冰河期,直到1974年曾成功東山再起.
