美國黑人歌姬［蘿貝塔弗萊克］＆［比柏布萊森］──輕靈魂抒情曲──［Maybe／也許］

 

If we both decide to try and make it one more time

I hope we take the time to know each other well

And if the answers dont come quick well go with how it feels

And sometimes thats not yes or no but

 

Maybe therell be no falling stars this time around

I still believe that

Honesty is all well ever need

You and me again, maybe

 

You keep asking me if I will love you for all time

If two of us will be enough to make it strong

And if we learn to keep it free and let each other grow

Well find out theres no yes or no just

 

Maybe therell be no falling stars this time around

I still believe that

Honesty is all well ever need

Can we make it through, maybe

 

No candles or guitar this time around (this time around)

I still believe that

Honesty is all well ever need (all well need)

You and me again (maybe)

Maybe

 

Maybe therell be no falling stars this time around (this time around)

I still believe that

Honesty is all well ever need

(Till fade)

 

與黑人歌手唐尼海瑟威（Donny Hathaway）在７０年代合作多次

製作出不少名曲

但因１９７９年唐尼自殺而結束

１９８０年代, 美國靈魂爵士歌姬蘿貝塔弗萊克（Roberta Flack）受邀於另一黑人歌手比柏布萊森（Peabo Bryson）的專輯獻聲, 在靈魂樂界反應不差

１９８３年, ４３歲的弗萊克與３２歲的布萊森決定推出一張情歌合唱專輯［Born to Love］　

由Michael Masser, Bob Crewe與比柏布萊森共同製作  ７月發行

 

首支單曲［Tonight, I Celebrate My Love］登上美國單曲榜＃１６　英國榜亞軍

成為蘿貝塔８０年代最著名的單曲

另外, 唱片公司亦推出只在黑人樂市場主打的第二單曲［Maybe／也許］（流行市場第二主打為［You’re Lookin’ Like Love To Me］）

此曲由Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, Marvin Hamlisch譜寫,

Burt Bacharach, CarolBayer Sager製作成一首輕靈魂／流行抒情曲

在緩柔裊裊的樂聲中, 蘿貝塔與比柏交織出這首浪漫的樂章

由於沒特別宣傳, ［Maybe］只拿到Billboard副榜──黑人榜＃６８

不過持續讓［Born to Love］在排行榜流連　最後美國銷售逾５０萬張

拿到金唱片（Pop#25, Black#8）
