一位民歌和藍調創作歌手, 社會活動份子, 原名字 Malvina Milder, 生於加州, 三藩市 San Francisco, 父母親是傾向社會主義的猶太移民。Malvina 中學畢業時, 因為認同父母反對美國参予第一次世界大戰, 拒絕接受學校所頒發的文憑以示抗議; 及後再考進加州大學 UC Berkeley 栢克萊分校, 並獲得了英國文學的學士和碩士學位。


1934年, 與 William Reynolds 結婚, 丈夫是一位木匠勞工組織主導人。女兒出世後, 開始她的博士論文寫作; 至1938年, 大學頒授她博士學銜。在經濟大蕭條時期, 一個社會主義追隨者的猶太裔女人, 無法找到中學的教學工作是可理解的; 改而專注在報刊雜誌投稿, 以民眾所關注的議題專欄寫作, 亦有参予一些社會工作; 至二戰開始不久, 她在炮彈裝勘工厰當女工。父親去世後, 與丈夫接手父親在加州長灘 Long Beach 的海軍制服裁縫店。在四十年代末期, 遇上 Earl Robinson, Pete Seeger 與及其他民歌手和創作人, 開始参予歌曲撰寫和創作的行列。

五十年代中, 她返回加州大學伯克萊分校 UC Berkeley, 專修音樂理論課程。及後, 她的一曲 "Turn Around" 經 Harry Belafonte 演譯之後, 被樂壇公認為出色的詞曲作家。她的歌曲曾給予 Joan Baez, Judy Collins, The Seekers, Pete Seeger 與樂隊 "The Searchers", "Limeliters" 等收錄; 大多數作品均反影社會和民生問題, 公共事務議題, 如杯葛 "雀巢公司"、對政府通往金門橋的道路拓建工程, 為此等問題加諸狠批與發起抗爭行動 ....

TURN AROUND 1959 - Harry Belafonte (1927-2023)


TURN AROUND - Diana Ross
Lyric: Malvin Reynolds
Where are you going my little one, little one
Where are you going my baby my own
Turn around and you're two
Turn around and you're four
Turn around and you're a young girl
Going out of the door

Turn around
Turn around
Turn around and you're a young girl
Going out of the door

Where are you going my little one, little one
Little dirndls and petticoats, where are you now
Turn around and you're tiny
Turn around and you're grown
Turn around and you're a young wife
With babes of your own

Turn around
Turn around
Turn around and you're a young wife
With babes of your own

Turn around
Turn around
Turn around and you're a young wife
Turn around and you're a young wife
With babes of your own
