Luther Vandross - All The Woman I Need(1994)

Luther Vandross - All The Woman I Need Lyrics

I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all before she came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now you're here it's not the same
It's not the same
She builds me up
She gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
She's all I got in this world
And she's all the woman that I need
And in the morning when I kiss her eyes
She takes me down and rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
She holds me close and won't let go
She won't let go
She builds me up
She gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
She's all I got in this world
And she's all the woman that I need

Whitney Houston - All The Man That I Need(1991 Live)

Whitney Houston - All The Man That I Need Lyrics

I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all before he came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now he's here, it's not the same
It's not the same

Chorus:

He fills me up
He gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I've got
He's all I've got in this world
But he's all the man that I need

And in the morning when I kiss his eyes
He takes me down
And rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
He holds me close
And won't let go
He won't let go

Chorus

(Kenny G Saxophone Solo)

Chorus

He fills me up
He gives me love
More love than I've ever seen (more love more love)
He's all I've got
He's all I've got in this world
But he's all the man (all the man) that I need

More love than I've ever seen
More love than I've ever seen...

Luther Vandross的歌聲...
一直給我一種暖暖的感覺..
雖稱不上特別喜歡..
但是是算少數我還蠻欣賞的西洋歌手之一..
而這張1994 - Songs專輯..
算是我對Luther Vandross的入門大碟...
他的一系列專輯.要說最愛..
則是他在臥病期間...
也是過世之前的最後一張錄音室專輯...
2003 - Dance With My Father
這張專輯..我初聽到時..
台灣還沒有打算發行..
不知道是太冷門..還是..？？？
直至美國發行後過將近一年多..
這期間我去新加坡自由行..
差點衝動下手買...(但下不了手)
回台灣沒多久..博客來就上架了...
想當然爾..一定是給他敗下去了..

Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father



回歸正題...
Luther Vandross-All The Woman I Need
稱不上我心中所認定的經典...
但足堪稱為柔情版的翹楚了...

Whitney Houston-All The Man That I Need
事實上我在初聽到時...
並不是那麼的注意...
直到這一兩年...
我把第四台停掉後...
沒電視植物人可當...
閒暇時就是拿出CD來聽...
上網到處去閑晃...
煮咖啡.看書...
成了我最大娛樂...
也因此才有更用心去聽每張珍藏的專輯....
這首收錄在1990-I'm Your Baby Tonight專輯中..
算是惠妮巔峰時期的佳作之一...
時而柔情..
頓時轉為澎湃的詮釋方式..
簡直令我傾倒....
尤其是惠妮每次現場演唱..
都會帶來不同的詮釋..
更讓我對"All The Woman I Need"這首歌..
愛不釋手....

有興趣的朋友..
可以看一下我的另一篇文..
什麼叫做感動
1991年的現場演唱版本
真的是經典中的經典...
