BLUE MOON - 3/3 : Sunshine Of Your Love

ONCE IN A BLUE MOON!


BLUE MOON  - Stephane Grappelli
 
一首浪漫抒情的經典, 面世至今近八十年, 翻唱的版本多至不能盡録, 用於電影配樂而依稀記得的有: 
1939 Marx Brother - "At the Circus 華堂戲綵" 
1964 Elvis Presley, Ann-Margret -"Viva Las Vegas 龍鳳嬉春"
1978 John Travolta, Oliva Newton-John - "GREASE 油脂"


SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE - 1968 C R E A M 
Eric Clapton - Lead Guitar - Vocal

Ginger Baker - Drum
Jack Bruce- Bass Guitar - Vocal 

1968年, 當年列入為 Psychedelic Rock, Blues Rock, Acid Rock 這類别的樂隊 "THE CREAM" 以一曲 "Sunshine Of Your Love" 至今亦津津樂道, 三個人的組合能演奏出如此效果的歌曲, 當然各人的功力不在話下, 不過相信當年直至今天, 還有不少歌迷或業界亦未發覺到鼓手 Ginger Baker 用行内稱反板 Off-beat 的打鼓手法, 當時録音工程師 Tom Dowd 亦有所留意與提醒, 但被婉拒, 因他不知道 Baker 是有意用這種鼓法去演譯的, 事後 Baker 亦抱怨没有將他的名字列卬在唱片封套上, 甚至 "Not even a thank you ! 連謝謝一聲也没有!"

叧外 Eric Clapton 的一段音樂過門 Guitar Adlib, 相信很多樂迷亦没有留意, 每次聽的時候,總是覺得 "耳熟" 但不 "能詳", 原來 Eric Clapton 稱靈感是從 "Blue Moon" 開始時的两小節引子 Intro 而來, 是有文獻記録的, 這要你們找找看了!    

不用找了, 欣賞吧 !
