I Just Call to Say I Love You《电话诉衷情》是电影《红衣女郎》(Woman in Red)的插曲,不仅在英美排行榜上都名居榜首,还获得了“奥斯卡”最佳电影插曲奖,成为家喻户晓的一首永恒恋曲,至今仍被广为传唱。它的演唱者史蒂威·旺德是一个天生双目失明的人,他在27岁之前共获14项葛莱美奖,是美国七、八十年代最有影响的流行音乐家之一。



I Just Call to Say I Love You


No New Year's Day to celebrate
no chocolate covered candy
heart to give away
No first of spring no song to sing
In fact it's just another ordinary day
No April rain no flowers bloom
no wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is is something true
make up of these three words
that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you


And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer's high no warm July
No harvest moon to light one
tender August night
No autumn breeze 1 no falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies



No Libra sun no Halloween
No giving thanks to
all the Christmas joy you bring


But what it is though old to new
To fill your heart like no
three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart


I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
of my heart of my heart


 


Stevie Wonder


 


无可争议的歌王,最伟大的男歌手之一
Stevie Wonder在嘻哈音乐与其他流行音乐有天才的造诣,广受美国人喜爱。


Stevie Wonder由于早产被放进保温箱,因医院的疏失供给太多氧气而导致失明,然而他生性乐观,将失


明视为上天的恩赐,让他拥有更加专注和敏锐的耳力。


Stevie Wonder在幼年时就开始绽放音乐天赋,他4岁学会吹口琴,5岁学钢琴,11岁就会演奏10多种乐器


。他的音乐才华很快被发掘,并引起黑人音乐大厂摩城的老板贝瑞的注意,他立即震慑于这孩子的音乐


潜能,并在1961年签下了这个不满12岁孩子,同年,Stevie Wonder荣登排行榜冠军宝座,15岁就成为全


美家喻户晓的知名歌手。


1963年,他以一首单曲《Figertips》 称霸排行冠军3 周,震动整个乐坛。在20多年来的演唱生涯中,


他以自己的天赋才华赢得了许多令人羡慕的殊荣,其中包括17次葛莱美奖及1 次奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲奖



从60年代中期开始,Stevie佳作迭出,其中绝大部分是情歌,如表达纯真爱情的《I Was Mode 2 To Love


Her》、《Never Had A Dream Come Ture》以及《Signed, Sealed Delivered I\'m Yours》。


1971年,Stevie潜心钻研Aip和Moog两种合成乐器,并将所习发挥在专辑《Masic Of My Mind》之中,取


得不俗成绩。1972年,他又推出了《Superstition》赢得“黑白乐迷”的热烈反响。之后,Stevie又陆


续推出专辑《Talking Book》、 《Innervision》问世,此中他尝试了多种乐风,如拉丁曲风的


《Don\'t You Worry About A Thing》。1974年,大手笔制作《Fulfilling Ness\' First Finale》推


出。1976年推出的《Songs in the of Life》蝉联排行榜冠军达14周之久,可谓乐坛奇迹。


80年代的Stevie热衷于政治以及慈善活动。他推出了专辑《 Hotter Than July》,正如他的社会活动一


样, 比7月的温度还热。这张专辑的风格又有新的尝试,采用了非洲与加勒比海音乐。 通过后天的不断


努力,Stevie Wonder终于发挥出天才的禀赋,成为美国乐坛一致公认的多才多艺的“国家一级人物”。


Stevie Wonder虽然在近年未有新作品推出,但他仍活跃在流行乐坛,尤其是热心参与各项慈善募款演出


,国宝级的他在2002年就曾受邀献艺白宫,为布希总统、副总统钱尼夫妇、和其他重量级政府官员表演


,当他高唱经典名曲《Superstition”》时,那些平时严肃的政治家都忍不住拍手摇摆了起来;为了表


达对Stevie Wonder的敬意,音乐剧制作人Billy Porter还特别制作了一出以他的歌曲《Signed,


Sealed, Delivered》命名的歌舞剧,并在拉斯维加斯剧场上演,将来还会计划巡演伦敦与纽约。(
