블로그로 바뀐 다음 처음으로 이 아저씨 이야기를 하네요..
그는 바로 James Brown입니다.
그의 기일(12월 25일)로 가까이 다가오고...
James Brown은 미국 음악 역사상 가장 위대한 음악인일 겁니다.
미국은 역사상 가장 위대한 음악인이 억수로 많긴 합니다만... ㅎㅎ
저번에 언급한 Chuck Berry가 로큰롤의 아버지라면 James Brown은 Soul의 아버지죠.
역시 미국은 건국의 아버지를 비롯하여 많은 아버지를 보유하고 있는 나라입니다. ^^
솔직히 James Brown은 거의 모든 흑인 음악 장르에 영향을 미쳤다고 보시면 됩니다.
Soul, R&B, Funk, Jazz, Hip Hop까지 아주 두루두루...
70~80년대 좀 날렸던 음악인들이 깍듯하게 모신 분이 James Brown인데요,
Michael Jackson이나 Prince 등도 존경을 표하며 공연도 같이하고 그랬답니다.
유튜브를 찾아보시면 루치아노 파바로티와 같이 공연한 영상도 보실 수 있습니다.
생긴 것은 유머 가득한데 아주 까칠했답니다.
요즘 말로는 센 남자라 해야 할까요? 마초라 해야 할까요? ^^
그의 노래들을 살펴보면 다 한 번씩은 들어 본 곡일 겁니다.
그만큼 유명한 곡이죠.
그리고 크리스마스날 세상을 떠납니다.
이 아저씨 노래 들으면 기분이 UP 됩니다. 괜히 우울할 때 들어보면 좋습니다.
대표곡을 올려둘 텐데요, 마지막 곡은 아주 독특합니다. 근래 유행하는 음악들의 모태가 되지 않을까요?
It's A Man's Man's Man's World(1966년)
작사 Betty Jean Newsome 작곡 James Brown
노래 James Brown
This is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing without a woman or a girl
You see man made the car
To take us over the road
Man made the train
To carry the heavy load
Man made the electric light
To take as out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water
Like Noah made the ark
This is a man's man's man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about the little betty baby girl
And the baby boys
Man makes them happy
Cause man made them toys
And after man made everyhing
Everything he can
You know that man makes money
To buy from other men
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
I Got You (I Feel Good)(1965년)
작사 작곡 노래 James Brown
Wo! I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of
I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of
So good, so good, I got you
Wo! I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love won't do you no harm
and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you
