Karen/Ella Medley

卡朋特和艾拉费兹杰拉德两个巨星在一起表演实在是非常的罕见，这段MV是二人1980年在美国ABC电视音乐节目”Music, Music, Music.”里的精彩表演录像。”Music, Music, Music”是卡朋特最后一个电视专题节目，表演嘉宾有John Davidson, Ella Fitzgerald，Nelson Riddle Orchestra。

Karen与Ella以对唱的形式共同演绎了几首爵士经典歌曲：“This Masquerade ”，“My Funny Valentine”，“I’ll Be Seeing You ”，“Someone To Watch Over Me ”，“As Time Goes By ”，“Don’t Get Around Much Anymore ”，“ I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart”。

几首歌曲串联在一起，全曲编排浑然天成，不露痕迹，而两位天皇巨星的演唱非常老道，配合十分默契，没有半点瑕疵。二人声线也有相似之处，都是极富磁性的女中音，只不过Ella声音同其身材一样更加浑厚，当我第一次聆听的时候，竟误以为是一首歌曲。（by wanglu)

歌词
Karen/Ella Medley

《This Masquerade》
Karen
Are we really happy with
This lonely game we play
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anyway
We’re lost in this masquerade

Ella
Both afraid to say we’re just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We’re lost inside this lonely game we play

《My Funny Valentine》
Karen
My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you’re my favourite work of art

《I’ll Be Seeing You》
Ella
I’ll be seeing you;
In every lovely, summer’s day;
And everything that’s bright and gay;
I’ll always think of you that way;
I’ll find you in the morning sun;
And when the night is new;
I’ll be looking at the moon;
But I’ll be seeing you.

《Someone To Watch Over Me》
Karen
There’s a somebody I’m longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me
I’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who’ll watch over me

《As Time Goes By》
Ella
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.

Ella/ Karen
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.

Ella
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.

Karen
It’s still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

《Don’t Get Around Much Anymore》
Ella
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn’t bear it without you
Don’t get around much anymore

《I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart》
Karen
I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven ’cause you were the song
Am I too late to make amends?

Ella
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends

Ella/ Karen
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, baby, when I say
I won’t know sweet music

’Cause I
Don’t get around much
I Don’t get around much
I Don’t get around much
Don’t get around much anymore!

1. 昔日经典[Take a bow],麦姐感人至深的演绎….. 文/丝缎银 我想，可能自己已经老了，因为开始怀旧了。这是 1995 年 something to remember 专辑中一首充满抒情东方小调意韵的歌曲，麦姐演绎的充满了淡淡的委婉哀怨。表面看似描写戏子落寞心情，细细品味其歌词，字里行间竟然浸透了人生如戏，悲剧终场结局的哲理遐思。虽显悲观，但实质如此。歌词由 R&B 才子...
