dusty springfield'in söylediği güzel şarkı. önce aretha franklin'e teklif ediliyor bu şarkı ama kendisi reddediyor. ardından şarkı patlayınca hatasını anlayıp kendisi de söylüyor. şarkı pulp fiction'da da kullanılıyor. bu arada çok güzle bir janis joplin yorumu ve yine bir o kadar güzel joss stone yorumu (bkz: http://www.youtube.com/...) mevcut. sözleri aşağıda. bir de ekşi'den çalmadan edemeyeceğim şarkının türkçesi: "imamın oğlu".
billy-ray was a preacher's son
and when his daddy would visit he'd come along
when they gathered round and started talkin'
that's when billy would take me walkin'
a-through the back yard we'd go walkin'
then he'd look into my eyes
lord knows to my surprise
the only one who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
the only boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man
yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was
being good isn't always easy
no matter how hard i try
when he started sweet-talkin' to me
he'd come and tell me everything is all right
he'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
can i get away again tonight?
the only one who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
the only boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man
yes he was, he was, lord knows he was
how well i remember
the look that was in his eyes
stealin' kisses from me on the sly
takin' time to make time
tellin' me that he's all mine
learnin' from each other's knowing
lookin' to see how much we've grown
and the only one who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
the only boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man
yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was
he was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
i guessed he was the son of a preacher man
sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
ahh, move me
janis joplin versiyonunu bulmanın mümkün olmadığı şarkı.
indirdiğim janis joplin yazan mp3'lerin hepsinin orjinal dusty springfield çıkması;
hiçbir albümünde ya da konser kaydında listelenmemesi insanı iyice kıllandırıyor.
ayrıca yorumlayan bi' ton kişi ve grubun arasında ismi de geçmiyor... http://en.wikipedia.org/...
