美國拉丁流行團體［葛洛莉雅依斯特芬＆邁阿密之音］──美國榜冠軍──流行抒情經典──［Anything For You］

 

Anything for you

Though you're not here

Since you said we're through

It seems like years

Time keeps draggin' on and on

And forever's been and gone

Still I can't figure what went wrong

 

I'd still do anything for you

I'll play your game

You hurt me through and through

But you can have your way

 

I can pretend each time I see you

That I don't care and I don't need you

And though you'll never see me cryin'

You know inside I feel like dying

 

And I'd do anything for you

In spite of it all

I've learned so much from you

You made me strong

 

But don't even think that I don't love you

That for one minute I forgot you

But sometimes things don't work out right

And you just have to say goodbye

 

I hope you find someone to please you

Someone who'll care and never leave you

But if that someone ever hurts you

You just might need a friend to turn to

 

And I'd do anything for you

I'll give you up

If that's what I should do

To make you happy

 

I can pretend each time I see you

That I don't care and I don't need you

And though inside I feel like dying

You know you'll never see me cryin'

 

But don't even think that I don't love you

That for one minute I forgot you

But sometimes things don't work out right

And you just have to say goodbye

１９５７年出生的葛蘿麗亞原是前拉丁團體邁阿密之音（Miami Sound Machine）主唱

７０年代加入團體　起先演唱拉丁歌曲

１９８４年進軍英語歌壇
由於身為樂團唯一女性的年輕貌美　加上擔任主唱　因此一直是團體中的焦點

 

１９８７年６月美國熱門團體邁阿密之音推出第三張英文專輯〔Let It Loose〕

唱片公司為突顯主唱葛洛莉雅依斯特芬（Gloria Esterfan）的角色

團名改成‘Gloria Estefan ＆Miami Sound Machine’

三首單曲順利打入單曲榜Top４０, 其中第一跟第三首更是Top１０熱門曲

 

１９８８年３月　葛洛莉雅依斯特芬＆邁阿密之音推出美國第四單曲［Anything For You］

此曲由葛洛莉雅獨力譜寫  Emilio Estefan Jr.製作

是首帶有拉丁風味的流行抒情曲

［Anything For You］推出後廣受歡迎,在５月初登上美國Billboard單曲榜后座

成為葛洛莉雅依斯特芬＆邁阿密之音首支冠軍曲

另外也是他們在成人抒情榜第二度稱霸

B面歌曲是［Anything For You］的西班牙語版［No Te Olvidaré (I Won't Forget You)］

則登上拉丁榜＃３

隔年並提名葛萊美最佳流行團體

 

英國方面　１９８８年７月推出［Anything For You］　

在這之前, 葛洛莉雅依斯特芬當地單曲成績並不太好

此曲花了２個禮拜　終於登上單曲榜＃１０　成為１９８５年［Dr. Beat］後首支前十熱門曲

證明葛洛莉雅依斯特芬也能在英國有熱門曲

六星期後　唱片公司又推出［１-２-３］ 又登上單曲榜＃９

讓Epic公司乘勝追擊　將［Rhythm Is Gonna Get You］ ［Can't Stay Away From You］重新發行,分別登上排行榜Top２０, Top１０

 

由於［Anything For You］的成功,唱片公司在１９８８年１０月－１９８９年初將〔Let It Loose〕專輯改名［Anything For You］, 於海外再版發行,

登上英國榜冠軍　大賣四白金

美國則升到排行榜＃６　賣出三白金,登上事業高峰期

［Anything For You］的成功可謂有推波助瀾之功。
