♪Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father Again
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I’m praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don’t do it usually
But dear Lord she’s dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

Arsenio Hall

番組中にルーサーがあらわれて、おおよろこび！
”If only for one night”を歌ってもらって大興奮！の様子が
当時のルーサーのスパースターぶりを物語っています

１０代のルーサーだそうです
確か私が中学生〜高校生のころ、１９７０年代？１９８０年代？
NHKで英語オリジナルで放送していたし、テキストも出ていました
古い映画・その時代の流行、テレビ番組のパロディなどもあって
おもしろく英語が学べるのはもちろん
なにより、「むこうの音楽」を聴けるのが楽しみでした
英語は苦手だったけど、セサミストリートの放送と
毎月取っていたスヌーピーの雑誌はとても楽しみでした
そのころはよもやこんなにBlack Musicにハマるとは
思いもよりませんでしたが・・・
今、当時の番組がYouTubeで観れるなんて
本当にありがたいことです♪

▼Luther Vandross sings "Never Too Much" live
歌詞
can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me
You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy
There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you
You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you
I still remember in the days when I was scared to touch you
How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you
You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in
That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in
Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
I just don't wanna stop
Never too much, never too much, never too much, never too much
Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started
I called you up, but you weren't there and I was broken hearted
Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin'
Opened the door up and to my surprise there you were standin'
Well, who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar
I'd rather be with you 'cause you make my heart scream and holler
Love is a gamble and I'm so glad that I'm winnin'
We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginnin'
Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
And I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much

▼Luther Vandross sings "Take You Out" live
歌詞
Yeah yeah
Here it is
She caught me by surprise I must say
'Cause I never had seen such a pretty face
With such a warm and beautiful smile
It wasn't hard for me to notice her style
I was fascinated surly
She took my heart and held it for me
I wouldn't let her get away
Not until she heard me say
[Chorus]
Excuse me miss (yehhh)
But what's your name?
Where are you from and can I come,
And possibly, can I take you out tonight?
To a movie, to the park (yehhh)
I'll have you home before it's dark (whooo)
So let me know, can I take you out tonight?
Don't care if I get rejected
At least then I won't regret it
Regret the fact I missed the chance for romance
At least I'll walk away knowing
I tried my best and I'm going
I'm going on with my day
'Cause at least she heard me say
[Chorus]
Excuse me miss
But what's your name?
Where are you from and can I come, (can you!)
And possibly can I take you out tonight?
To a movie, to the park (yehhh)
I'll have you home before it's dark (whooo)
So let me know, can I take you out tonight?
[Chorus]
Huh, that's why I had to come over
And introduce myself to you
'Cause you're never going to know where you're gonna find love
And hopefully I found it in you,k yeah
[Chorus x2]
Let me make your house a home baby
[Chorus]

前説も良いです
▼Luther Vandross - A Change is gonna come Live
歌詞
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it is
It's been too hard living
But i'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will
Then i go to my brother
I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees
There's been times that i thought
I wouldn't last for long
But now i think i'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will

It would be so nice
If only for one night
I won't tell a soul
No one has to know
If you want to be totally discreet

And my knees are shaking too
But I'm willing, willing to go thru
I must be crazy
Standing in this place
But I'm feeling no disgrace
For asking...

Luther Vandross - Roberta Flack： Killing Me Softly With His Song Live
歌詞
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
[Break]
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words

Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me
He was strumming my pain
Yeah, he was singing my life
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly
With his song
