珍しく連日の更新ですが昨日に引き続きソウル系を。
今日紹介する一枚はデイビット・クロフォードプロデュースの１９７６年フリーソウル・ディスコ
の大名曲"young hearts run free - candi staton"です。レイタウンなんかでかかって
いるジャマイカン・ソウルが好きな方はご存知かと思います。
キャンディ・ステイトン（７１歳で現在もバリバリ活動中のアラバマ出身のソウル／ゴスペル界を
代表する女性シンガー）が爽快に歌い上げるこの曲はいつ聴いても自分を元気にしてくれるお
気に入りの一枚です。レゲエではPAM HALLがカバーしてます。他にも彼女の曲で"Victim"
（１９７８年）もオススメです。
What's the sense in sharing
This one and only life
Endin' up just another lost and lonely wife
You'll count up the years
And they will be filled with tears
Love only breaks up, to start over again
You'll get the babies, but you won't have your man
While he is busy loving every woman that he can, uh-huh
Say I'm gonna leave a hundred times a day
It's easier said than done
When you just can't break away
(when you just can't break away)
[Chorus:]
Oh, young hearts run free
Never be hung up
Hung up like my man and me
My man and me
Ooooh, young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you
Don't love you
It's high time now just one crack at life
Who wants to live in, in trouble and strife
My mind must be free
To learn all I can about me, uh-hmm
I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days
Encourage the babies every time they say
Self preservation is what's really going on today
Say I'm gonna turn loose a thousand times a day
But how can I turn loose
When I just can't break away
(when I just can't break away)
Oh, young hearts run free
They'll never be hung up
Hung up like my man and me
You and me
Ooooh, young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you
Don't love you
Oh, young hearts run free
They'll never be hung up
Hung up like my man and me
You and me
Ooooh, young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you
Don't love you
Oh, young hearts run free
They'll never be hung up
Hung up like my man and me
My man and me
Ooooh, young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you
Don't love you
