WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN - Answer Song




PERCY SLEDGE 1941-2015 
一位音樂奇才, 此曲進行録音時, 在埸的監製與各樂手衹見樂譜而歌詞欠奉, 各人均理所當然認為歌詞是由歌手 Percy Sledge 負責撰寫, 唯有跟樂譜把歌曲來演譯好了, 原來他在全沒有準備之下, 隨着音樂開始, 能即興把歌詞唱出來, 在場人員仍懵然不知。此曲完成後他再一次把歌詞重寫下來; 唱片發行後, 印在唱片封套上的歌曲創作人名字, 衹見有 Calvin Lewis 與 Andrew Wright。




WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN - Percy Sledge 1966
Music and Lyric: Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can't ever see

When a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world

When a man loves a woman....




ESTHER MAE JONES 
自幼當教堂詩歌班, 十四歲在一次由 Johnny Otis 名下的 Barrelhouse Club 舉辦歌唱比賽中奪冠, Johnny Otis 對她賞識, 给她録製唱片, 請她加入旗下巡廻表演團 "California Rhythm and Blues Caravan" 以 "Little Esther Phillips" 之名為她宣傳, 日後仍以 Esther Phillips 走紅樂壇。


ANSWER SONG
WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN - Esther Phillips
When a woman loves a man
Can't keep her mind on nothing else
She change the world for the good things she's found
If he is bad she can't see it
He can do no wrong
Turn her back on her best friend
If she puts him down


When a woman loves a man
She’ll spend all of her time
Trying to hold on to what she needs
She'll give up all her comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If he says that’s the way it ought to be


Well this woman really loves you
I gave you everything I had
Try to hold on, to your unwelcome love
Baby please don't treat me bad


When a woman loves a man
Deep down in her soul
He can bring her such misery
If he plays her for a fool
She’s the very last one to know
Loving eyes can never see


Chorus:
When a woman loves a man
She’ll never, never do him wrong
Any friend in this whole wide world
Yes when a woman loves a man
I know exactly how I feel
Cause baby, baby I’m your friend
Yes when a woman loves a man
I know exactly how I feel.
