中国中铁干部部经理:Luther Vandross的档案???

Luther Vandross
　　Luther Vandross于1951年4月20日出生于美国纽约最北部的Bronx区，作为最伟大的黑人男歌手之一，拥有超过两千万张的唱片销售记录，被他富有魔力的嗓音所征服的听众数以亿计。在R&B音乐这个年轻人的世界里，Luther Vandross称得上是大器晚成，直到他三十岁时才发行了第一张专辑《Never Too Much》，之后便一发不可收，之后的十三张专辑都达到了白金销量，被称为是80年代R&B音乐三巨头之一，另两人是鼎鼎大名的stevie Wonder和Michael Jackson。
　　Luther Vandross不仅是一名出色而成功的歌手，而且他还是一名成功的词曲作者和唱片制作人，他参与了Stevie Wonder，Lionel Richie，Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick和Cheryl Lynn等著名歌星专辑的录制，并与Mariah Carey等歌星有合作。在第33，34，39届格莱美奖中三次获得最佳R&B男歌手奖，歌曲《Power Of Love/Love Power》还获得了第34届格莱美最佳R&B歌曲奖。在他近三十年的音乐生涯中，共出版了17张专辑，15张精选，以及数十首单曲，2003年6月10日发行了他的最新专辑《Dance With My Father》。

　　专辑名：《Dance With My Father》

　　演唱者：Luther Vandross

　　发行时间：2003年6月10日

　　发行公司：J-Records

　　[专辑介绍]

　　这是Luther Vandross所有唱片中的第一张Billboard 200排行榜的冠军专辑。在专辑中Luther Vandross亲自创作了大部分歌曲，并担任监制，制作人。这位R&B大师的深厚功力再一次得到了证明，他的音乐毫不夸张的说是完美嗓音和诗意歌词的完美结合，而且他还拉来了Richard Marx，Destiny's Child的Beyonce Knowles等歌星来协助录音。

　　专辑第一首歌就让R&B后生们领教了这位老将的实力，节奏，嗓音，一切都是那么的和谐。《The Closer I Get to You》则是Luther Vandross与Destiny's Child合唱团Beyonce Knowles亲昵而深情的对唱，其中Beyonce Knowles的演唱也得到了这位R&B巨匠的称赞。《Dance With My Father》更是充满了Luther Vandross对父亲的纪念。《She Saw You》中引入了RAP的节奏，结合以吉他的伴奏，讲述了一个关于出卖的故事,这张近70分钟的专辑证明Luther Vandross依然保持了一贯的高水准，作为制作人，专辑里歌曲顺序的编排也很合理，听起来让人感到十分的舒服。这张专辑的歌曲与新生代的R&B作品相比，节奏略慢，但仍能十分明显的感觉到Luther Vandross的未随时间的推移而褪色的嗓音及才华。

这首dance with my father很好听啊~```
[00:02.45]Luther Vandross-Dance With My Father
[00:07.73]
[00:16.34]Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
[00:28.26]My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
[00:39.49]Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep
[00:45.43]Then up the stairs he would carry me
[00:49.84]And I knew for sure I was loved
[00:54.78]
[00:56.66]If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
[01:09.04]I’d play a song that would never, ever end
[01:13.73]How I’d love, love, love
[01:17.60]To dance with my father again
[01:32.46]When I and my mother would disagree
[01:38.62]To get my way, I would run from her to him
[01:44.57]He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
[01:50.50]Then finally make me do just what my mama said
[01:56.43]Later that night when I was asleep
[02:01.92]He left a dollar under my sheet
[02:06.96]Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[02:13.69]If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
[02:26.09]I’d play a song that would never, ever end
[02:30.50]‘Cause I’d love, love, love
[02:34.57]To dance with my father again
[02:41.03]Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
[02:46.52]And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
[02:52.68]I pray for her even more than me
[02:58.81]I pray for her even more than me
[03:18.90]I know I’m praying for much too much
[03:24.86]But could you send back the only man she loved
[03:31.16]I know you don’t do it usually
[03:35.76]But dear Lord she’s dying
[03:39.73]To dance with my father again
[03:48.82]Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
