美國流行巨星［麥可波頓］＆英國天團［比吉斯］的交集──成人抒情名曲──［To Love Somebody］

Theres a light

A certain kind of light

That never shone on me

I want my life to be

To Lived with you, To lived with you

Theres a way

Everybody says

To do each and every little thing

But what does it bring

If I aint got you, I aint got you

 

Chorus:

Baby, You dont know what its like

Baby, you dont know what its like

To love somebody, to love somebody

The way I love you

 

In my Mind

I see your face again

I know my frame of mind

You aint got to be so blind

Im blind, so very blind

Im a man

Cant you see what I am

I live and breathe for you

But what good does it do

If I aint got you If I aint got you Baby

 

Chorus:

You dont know what its like

Baby you dont know what its like

To love somebody to love somebody

The way I love you

 

Oh yeh

You dont know what its like

Baby, you dont know what its like

To love somebody, to love somebody, to love somebody

You dont know,

To love somebody the way I love you. You dont know

To Love

To love somebody to love somebody you dont know

 

To love somebody to love somebody

The way I love you.

Songwriters: BARRY GIBB, ROBIN HUGH GIBB, MAURICR GIBB

１９９２年９月底　４１歲的美國流行巨星麥可．波頓（Michael Bolton）發行翻唱大碟〔Timeless：The Classics〕

由他, Walter Afanasieff , David Foster共同製作

重新詮釋許多名曲

樂評好壞兩極　但商業卻十分成功

登上美國Billboard專輯榜王座　成為他第二張冠軍　賣出四白金

英國榜＃３　賣出三白金

 

首支主打為［To Love Somebody］

原曲為英國天團比吉斯（Bee Gees）１９６７年發行的名曲  Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb譜寫

當時拿到英國榜＃４１　美國榜＃１７　澳洲榜＃６

波頓版則改編為成人抒情風格　

［To Love Somebody］登上美國單曲榜＃１１　成為他事業第二首拿到這個名次的歌曲

副榜──成人抒情榜則讓他七度稱霸

國際市場方面：英國＃１６　加拿大亞軍　愛爾蘭＃１３　紐西蘭＃３２　荷蘭＃３５　德國＃６１

隔年波頓並拿到美國音樂獎最受喜愛成人當代藝人

這是麥可事業的翻唱名作之一.
