赖世雄教你学唱歌: Unit 38 Song Sung Blue

Song Sung Blue


Song sunG blue.Everybody knows one. Song sung blue. Every garden grows one. Me and you are subject to the blues¹ now and then. And when you take the blues and make a song, you sing them out again, sing them out again.

Song sung blue. Weeping like a willow². Song sung blue. Sleeping on my pillow. Funny thing but you can sing it with a cry in your voice. And before you know it, get to feeling good. You simply got no choice.

Neil Diamond built a career, first as a pop songwriter, and then as a pop singer, that has withstood the changing fashions of music, especially rock, over more than 25 years. Born in Brooklyn, Diamond was writing and recording³ in New York in his teens, though he graduated from Brooklyn's Abraham Lincoln High School and attended New York University for a time. In 1965, he signed to Bang Records as an artist while also working as a songwriter. In 1966, he reached the Top Ten with his "Cherry, Cherry," while the Monkees took his "I'm a Believer" to #1. "Cherry, Cherry" was the first of five straight Top 20 hits, among them "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon."
