英國歌壇天王［菲爾柯林斯］＆美國女子天團［至上］的交集──英國榜冠軍──［You Can’t Hurry Love／你不能催促愛］

 

I need love, love

Oh, ease my mind

And I need to find time

Someone to call mine

 

My mama said, "You cant hurry love

No, youll just have to wait"

She said, "Love dont come easy

But its a game of give and take"

 

You cant hurry love

No, youll just have to wait

Just trust in a good time

No matter how long it takes

 

How many heartaches must I stand

Before I find the love to let me live again

Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on

When I feel my strength, oh, its almost gone

 

I remember mama said, "You cant hurry love

No, youll just have to wait"

She said, "Love dont come easy

Its a game of give and take"

 

How long must I wait

How much more must I take

Before loneliness

Will cause my heart, heart to break

 

No, I cant bear to live my life alone

I grow impatient for a love to call my own

But when I feel that I, I cant go on

Well, these precious words keep me hanging on

 

I remember mama said, "You cant hurry love

No, youll just have to wait"

She said, "Love dont come easy

Well, its a game of give and take"

 

You cant hurry love

No, youll just have to wait

Just trust in a good time

No matter how long it takes, now break

 

Now love, love dont come easy

But I keep on waiting

Anticipating for that soft voice

To talk to me at night

For some tender arms

Hold me tight

I keep waiting

Oh, till that day

But it aint easy

(Love dont come easy)

No, you know it aint easy

 

My mama said, "You cant hurry love

No, youll just have to wait"

She said, "Love dont come easy

But its a game of give and take"

 

You cant hurry love

No, youll just have to wait

She said, "Love dont come easy

Its a game of give and take"

英國歌壇流行／搖滾天王菲爾柯林斯（Phil Collins）自１９７０年參加‘創世紀’（Genesis）樂團　負責合音與鼓手

１９７５年　接替原主唱彼德蓋布爾（Peter Gabriel）位置

１９８１年發行首張個人大碟［Face Value］（英國Virgin唱片; 國際地區Atlantic唱片推出）　

登上英國榜冠軍　賣出五白金　讓他成為英倫一線歌手

美國榜＃７　成為金唱片（由於長賣,　到１９９９年賣出五白金）　各地市場反應皆佳　奠定其成為國際紅星的基礎

 

１９８２年１１月　３１歲的菲爾乘勝追擊　推出第二張個人大碟［Hello, I Must Be Going！］ 仍由他跟Hugh Padgham共同製作

英國首支主打［Thru These Walls］出師不利, 只拿到單曲榜＃５６　導致它沒在美國與大部份國際地區發行

１９８２年１１月　唱片公司推出第二主打［You Can’t Hurry Love／你不能催促愛］

雖然柯林斯在首張大碟翻唱過他人作品, 這卻是他首次把它當成單曲

原唱是美國女子天團至上（The Supremes）

菲爾跟Hugh Padgham將新版編曲維持１９６０年代較為粗略的音樂風格

以白人靈魂的方式演繹

［You Can’t Hurry Love］在英國廣受歡迎　在１９８３年初登上單曲榜王座, 成為菲爾首支英倫冠軍曲　並拿到金唱片　１９８３年終排行＃１３

在美國　也登上Billboard單曲榜＃１０　成為他首支Top１０熱門曲（＋成人抒情榜＃９）

國際市場也成功：荷蘭／比利時／愛爾蘭冠軍　德國／澳洲／瑞士／奧地利＃３

瑞典＃６　加拿大／紐西蘭＃９　西班牙＃１１　法國＃１３　義大利＃２４

［Hello, I Must Be Going！］推出的數首單曲只有［You Can’t Hurry Love］在英美等各地獲得成功

但也讓大碟拿到英國榜亞軍　至今賣出三白金

美國榜＃８　至今也賣到三白金

維持菲爾早期在歌壇的個人聲勢
