年份:1985
曲名:The Power Of Love

這首 The Power Of Love 後來有很多歌手翻唱過,如 Laura Branigan、Air Supply、Celine Dion 等等,一個比一個大牌,所以很多人都不知道原唱是英國歌手 Jennifer Rush。而且 Jennifer Rush 這歌只在英國走紅,在美國成績慘澹,在吃美國奶水長大的台灣就更容易被遺忘。

當年 Jennifer Rush 的 The Power Of Love 在英國拿下排行榜冠軍,著實走紅了好一陣子。當時余光正好去英國,聽到這首歌很喜歡,就買了唱片帶回台灣並在自己的廣播節目播放,造成一股轟動,使這首歌到處傳唱,Jennifer Rush 在台灣也稍稍打下知名度。日後余光每每提到這歌或提到 Jennifer Rush 總帶著一股驕傲的興奮感,因為那陣子這首歌在台灣走紅的確是因為余光的推動。

不過世事變化很快,不過隔了兩三年,更紅的歌手 Laura Branigan 翻唱了這首歌,Jennifer Rush 的版本就很快的銷聲匿跡。新世代的樂迷們更是一直以為這首歌是 Celine Dion 原唱。

Jennifer Rush - The Power Of Love (1985)

The whispers in the morning of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now as I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body and feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love I couyld not forsake
cuz I'm your lady and you are my man
When ever you reach for me I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there may be times it seems I'm far away
Never walk away like that, cuz I am always by your side

cuz I'm your lady and you are my man
Whenever you reach for me, I'm gonna do all that I can
We're heading for something, somewhere i've never been
Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn
of the power of love
