老歌亂談(625)One Man Woman, One Woman Man



人生的際遇很奇妙,有時在不經意的當下,會忽然興起了不同的想法和作為 ( 像是臨時起意買彩券? ),結果帶給了自己出乎意料的好運,這應該就是所謂的「福至心靈」吧!

話說加拿大籍的歌手Paul Anka為了慶賀妻子懷孕 ( 第四個女兒 ),寫了一首《Having My Baby》,當在錄音室錄唱時,遇到曾在巡迴演唱時認識的美國黑人女歌手Odia Coates,當時的Odia Coates尚無啥名氣,而Paul Anka將原欲由自己獨唱改為和她雙人合唱 ( 製作人也有建議 )。歌曲於1974推出後,雖然有婦女團體等批判為「太露骨」,但仍直衝排行榜的冠軍寶座。這也是Paul Anka自1959的《Lonely Boy》後,睽違了15年的冠軍曲。

由於《Having My Baby》雙人搭擋的成功,倆人再接著推出此首《One Man Woman, One Woman Man》,成績也相當不錯,獲得排行榜第7名,以及緊接著的《I Don't Like to Sleep Alone》( # 8 )。1977,Paul Anka和Odia Coates再合作錄唱了一首《Make It Up To Me in Love》,說是《One Man Woman, One Woman Man》的接續曲,可惜成績不如理想。



《Having My Baby》不僅讓Paul Anka捲土重來,也造就了Odia Coates的歌壇名聲,至於誰是誰的「貴人」,恐也很難分得清吧!Odia Coates於1991死於乳癌,享年49歲。

You caught me fooling around with somebody new
You caught me fooling around now I'm losing you
'Cause you're a one man woman
You're a one man woman
You're a one man woman
But I'm a two timing man

The nights you left me alone
And you disappeared
The nights your voice on the phone
Said I'm waiting here

'Cause I'm a one man woman
Yes, you're a one man woman
'Cause I'm a one man woman
But I'm a two timing man

Oh Baby you know I'm sorry
Oh sure, it's the same old story
I keep coming back
And I let you
'Cause I'd rather forgive than forget you

Now I won't need no chains to tie me down
You lost you're way my love
But now you've found
That I'm a one man woman
Yes, you're a one man woman
Oh,I'm a one man woman
But I'm a two timing man

I'm a one man woman
I'll be your one woman man
You're a one man woman
I'm a one woman man
Yes, you're a one man woman
You're a one woman man...
