2003年四月九日,美国电视网在纽约“火炬”剧院,为即将欢度70岁 生日的资深乡村巨星Willie Nelson举办了一场众星云集的演唱会, 到场包括老,中,青三代,分别来自乡村,摇滚,蓝调,爵士,甚至 饶舌的艺人,加上Whoopi Goldberg等知名影星,以及美国前总统克 林顿。除了透过电视转播,全部实况经过剪辑之后还发行了一张专辑 Live And Kickin’。
专辑第11首由成名于60年代末期的创作歌手Leon Russell登场演唱自 己的名曲A Song For You,当年由Carpenters唱红的,Willie Nelson不但跟着唱,同时曾经录制这首歌的传奇黑人盲歌手Ray Charles也参加合唱,他们已没有珠圆碧润的歌喉,也没有俊朗的外 表,他们的歌声更没有行云响壑的发聩,但他们在歌唱,用心,用灵 魂,一切都在平静,真实和忘我中道来!
A Song For You(by Leon Russell/Willie Nelson/Ray Charles)
Leon Russell;
I’ve been so many places in my life and time I’ve sung a lot of songs I’ve made some bad rhyme I’ve acted out my love in stages With ten thousand people watching But we’re alone now and I’m singing this song for you
Willie Nelson;
I know your image of me is what I hope to be I’ve treated you unkindly but darlin’ can’t you see There’s no one more important to me Darlin’ can’t you please see through me Cause we’re alone now and I’m singing this song for you
Ray Charles;
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding now I’m so much better and if my words don’t come together Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there’s no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding now I’m so much better and if my words don’t come together Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there’s no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you
