老歌亂談(1312)Go Johnnie Go
Silent Eruption 樂團 成立於1969,原是英國的一支學校樂隊,成員均來自加勒比海地區,1974更名為Eruption ( 台譯:火山爆發 ),同年,Precious Wilson加入樂團,擔任合音歌手。 1975,Eruption擊敗了近400的競爭對手,贏得了由RCA唱片公司及Record Mirror雜誌合辦的RCA Soul Search 歌唱大賽,獲得了與RCA簽約及發行了第一首單曲《Let Me Take You Back in Time》。1976,由於主唱Lindel Leslie的離開,一時另找不到合適的人選,改由Precious Wilson來擔綱主唱。
1977,Eruption在德國巡演期間,被Boney M的星探發掘,推薦給製作人Frank Farian而促成了與德國Hansa唱片公司簽約,後不久,Eruption便在1977 Boney M的首次歐洲巡演中擔任伴唱和暖場嘉賓,從而獲得了更多觀眾的關注。此後期間,Eruption有數首歌曲打入歐洲國家的排行榜,其中包含翻唱Neil Sedaka的《One Way Ticket》,該時,應算是Eruption最成功的時期,直至1979年末 Precious Wilson離團單飛。
此首《Go Johnnie Go》為由製作人Frank Farian自己所寫的迪斯可歌曲,收錄於Eruption於1980發行的專輯《Fight Fight Fight》中,單曲的成績不錯,除了在德國排行榜進入前10名,也在歐洲大陸取得了顯著的成功。但令人悲痛的是,專輯發行才幾個月,年僅21歲的主唱Kim Davis卻因腦溢血突然過世,除了考驗著樂團重振的韌性,不巧的是又適逢迪斯可音樂的熱潮逐漸下降,Eruption終於在1985正式宣布解散。

以下影音主唱為Precious Wilson
He was a lonely boy from nowhere's land
Trying to find a place to lay his head
For he knew for sure that no one cared
So he tried his best now everywhere
Go, Johnny, go, Johnny, go, Johnny, go
Go, Johnny, go, Johnny, go, Johnny, go, go, go
Oh, he was a lonely boy from nowhere's land
Trying to find a place to lay his head
For he knew for sure that no one cared
So he tried his best now everywhere
Listen, John B. (you are so young)
There is a place (somewhere over yonder)
Where you can go (to see some wonders)
Where even birds (don't need to fly)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Keep on walking, come to 11
Won't be long before you reach your heaven
Keep on walking, come to 11
Won't be long before you reach your heaven
Keep on walking, come to 11
Won't be long before you reach your heaven
Keep on walking, come to 11
Won't be long before you reach your heaven
【One Way Ticket】
Choo, choo train chuggin' down the track
Gotta travel on, never comin' back
Oh, oh got a one way ticket to the blues
Bye, bye love my baby's leavin' me
Now lonely teardrops are all that I can see
Oh, oh got a one way ticket to the blues
Gonna take a trip to lonesome town
Gonna stay at heartbreak hotel
A fool such as I that never learns
I cry a tear so well
Choo, choo train chuggin' down the track
Gotta travel on, never comin' back
Oh, oh got a one way ticket to the blues
Oh, oh got a one way ticket to the blues
Gonna take a trip to lonesome town
Gonna stay at heartbreak hotel
A fool such as I that never learns
I cry a tear so well
Choo, choo train chuggin' down the track
Gotta travel on, never comin' back
Oh, oh got a one way ticket to the blues
Oh, oh got a one way ticket to the blues
Oh, oh got a one way ticket to the blues
