史黛西.肯特(Stacey Kent),1968年3月27日出生於美國紐約,從小就展露歌唱的天賦,當初唱歌只是興趣,沒想過長大後卻能成爲一名歌手。她擁有文學學位,畢業後到英國倫敦繼續深造爵士樂課程,從此指引了她走向職業歌手的路途,很快地就以特殊的嗓音而廣受大家喜愛。在90年代初期肯特開始於歐洲演唱,並受邀到很多地方表演,1991-1995年她常駐在英國的麗池大飯店(Ritz Hotel)表演,並組成了爵士樂團,包括了後來成爲她夫婿的薩克斯風手-吉姆.湯姆森(Jim Tomlinson),1995年肯特在電影「理查三世」(Richard III.)電影原聲帶中演唱,開始展露頭角。 1996年,肯特開始將目標放於錄製專輯上。隔年英國Candid唱片公司發行了她的首張專輯《閉上雙眼》(Close Your Eyes)大獲好評,陸續又發行了、《溫柔的陷阱》(The Tender Trap)、《釋放自己》(Let Yourself Go)、《愛在午夜夢迴時》(Dreamsville)、《再陷愛裡》(In Love Again)、《鄰居男孩》(The Boy Next Door)等專輯,都替她帶來響亮的名聲,獲得了「全英音樂獎最佳爵士女歌手」、「英國國家廣播電臺最佳演唱人」…等殊榮。 除發行專輯之外,史黛西肯特在過去幾年之中亦忙碌於現場演出,這也讓更多人親身感受到史黛西肯特現場演唱的魅力與實力。她慵懶低迴的歌聲在演出空間裡遊蕩,加上樂手的現場即興,呈現一種絕妙的爵士樂魔力,多年的表演歷練讓她輕易掀動現場情緒,除了累積自十餘年豐富的現場演唱經驗外,更是因爲她從小即喜愛聆聽法蘭克.辛納屈、納京高…等爵士樂歌手,將音樂大量融入生活的緣故。

I GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU VERY WELL
I get along without you very well, Of course I do, Except when soft rains fall And drip from leaves, then I recall The thrill of being sheltered in your arms. Of course, I do, But I get along without you very well.
I’ve forgotten you just like I should, Of course I have, Except to hear your name, Or someone’s laugh that is the same,
But I’ve forgotten you just like I should.
What a guy, what a fool am i, To think my breaking heart could kid the moon. What’s in store? should I phone once more? No, it’s best that I stick to my tune.
I get along without you very well, Of course I do, Except perhaps in spring, But I should never think of spring, For that would surely break my heart in two.
