Posted by Estou aqui ouvindo sons da Motown, gravadora de Detroit (cujo apelido, motor town, deu origem ao nome da empresa) que dominou a cena black da década de 60. Tinha a Stax também, mas como reunia mais jazzistas e artistas com menos apelo popular, não bombou tanto.
Mas esses caras sabias fazer música, não? Letra, arranjos, melodia… tudo perfeito. As músicas de amor, mais melosas, então, eram de fazer sangrar os corações:
The Temptations – My Girl
I’ve got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it’s cold outside,
I’ve got the month of May.
Well, I guess you’ll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin’ ’bout my girl. (My girl)
I’ve got so much honey
The bees envy me.
I’ve got a sweeter songThan the birds in the trees.
Well, I guess you’ll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin’ ’bout my girl. (My girl)
Ooooh, Hoooo.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
I don’t need no money,
Fortune or fame.
I’ve got all the riches, baby,
One man can claim.
Well, I guess you’ll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin’ ’bout my girl. (My girl)
Talkin’ bout my girl.
I’ve got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl.
I’ve even got the month of May
With my girl.
