I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN - 3/1 : Tom Jones

TOM JONES
1940年, 生於南威爾斯 South Wales 一個清貧家庭; 十二歲患上肺勞, 醫療需時, 卧床兩年至痊癒。自少喜愛唱歌, 至長大後, 参加樂隊之外, 又當唱片公司的歌曲範本試唱歌手。由於一首全新歌曲的範本, 要給 Sandie Shaw 在錄音前試聽之用; 經聽過後, Sandie Shaw 提議還是交回給 Tom Jones 演繹和錄音是最好不過。1965年一月, 他個人的首張唱片面世, "It's not Unusual" 登上英國 UK Single Chart 首位, 展開了他的歌手職業。



I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN
1967年七月, 唱片面世不久, 即豋上英國單曲榜 "UK Single Chat" 第二位; 在美國的 "US Billboard Hot 100" 榜, 登上第四十九位, 而較高位置是 "當代成人歌曲榜 Adult Contemporary Chart" 第二十八位。兩年後, 在美國重新發行, 這次登上了 "US Billboard Hot 100" 第六位。當年的流行樂壇, 正藉 "MTV" 音樂電視的熱潮, 樂迷從電視看到他在表演台上, 以渾身解數, 邊唱邊跳, 扭動蛇腰, 繼而解開衣領和紐扣, 把抹汗的袋巾擲向觀眾, 瘋魔了不少女樂迷。


I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN - Tom Jones 1967
Written by: Jimmy Currie, Lonnie Donegan

I've been in love so many times
Thought I knew the score
But now you've treated me so wrong
I can't take anymore

And it looks like
I'm never gonna fall in love again
Fall in love, I'm never gonna fall in love
I mean it
Fall in love again

All those things I heard about you
I thought they were only lies
But when I caught you in his arms
I just broke down and cried

And it looks like
I'm never gonna fall in love again
Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in love
I mean it, I mean it
Fall in love again

I gave my heart so easily
I cast aside my pride
But when you fell for someone else, baby
I broke up all inside

And it looks like
I'm never gonna fall in love again
That's why I'm a-singin' it
Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in love
Please don't make me
Fall in love again
