看過盧海鵬 看過 Pet Shop Boys
繼續懷舊 最近去看了 The Spinners
源自於美國底特律的 The Spinners
可算是在美國六七十年代
昔日騷靈音樂的代表樂隊之一
儘管樂隊成員已經歷多番轉變 四十年後今天
樂隊仍保留著自五四年組隊一直沒有離開過的骨幹
主音 Bobbie Smith 和 Henry Fambrough
穿上粉藍色套裝 五位成員舞台上載歌載舞
隨著拍子輕輕搖拽 擺動身子 活力非常
不禁令人想起八十年代的香港歌手和樂隊
例如小虎隊 早期的草蜢等
同樣跳著那種 現時看來會是覺得有點兒做作老套的舞姿
很好笑 但倍感親切
畢竟 Bobbie Smith 年紀也大了 七十有三
嗓子是沙了一點
大部份成名曲都由新晉隊員演譯
It’s a Shame, I’ll Be Around [昔日連載]
Could It Be I’m Falling in Love, One of a Kind 等好歌
負責高音部份有 Marvin Taylor 和有很磁性的男低音 Jessie Robert Peck
尤其是主力 Chartlon Washington 擁有極性感的聲線
隊友給他的綽號是 “The Big Sexy”
正如當年的主音自己 相信當晚迷倒了不少女歌迷
來看的都是老歌迷 來自不同種族
也見有不少亞洲粉絲擁躉來捧場
眾歌迷很投入 唱到氣紛高漲的時候
大家都會不期然紛紛站起來 拍掌起舞 熱情非常
真的有這一種 Groov’in 的感覺
這一種感覺 相對在香港看演唱會時 就沒有這麼濃烈了
坐在第四排 完場時還和隊員握了手(!)
經歷了一個很暢快的演唱會
音樂是可以把我們聯繫起來

Sometimes a girl
Will come and go
You reach for love
But life won’t let ya know
That in the end
You’ll still be lovin her
But then she’s gone
You’re all alone
Sign of pain
Is on my face, well
My heartbeat stops
But I won’t take the blame, no no
I gave her all the love I had within
My love was strong
Somethin went wrong, no! no!
It takes a fool to learn
Yes sir
That love don’t love nobody
Love love love love love love
It takes a fool to learn
Yes it does, girl
That love don’t love no one
That love don’t love no one
It takes a fool to learn
Stop to think about it, well
That love don’t love nobody
Oh! Oh no!
It takes a fool to learn
When you’re down and out, shout about it
That love don’t love no more
Tell the world, oooh babe
No more…
Ohhhhhh, babe
It takes a fool to learn
Gotta be more careful about myself
That love don’t love nobody
It takes a fool to learn
Woah baby, took me a long time to learn, to learn, well
That love don’t love no one
It takes a fool to learn
I was a fool, you were a fool
That love don’t love nobody
Now we got love, we need love
It takes a fool to learn
