美國實力歌手［詹姆士殷格朗］的事業巔峰──成人流行／靈魂抒情曲──［I Dont Have the Heart］

 

Your face is beaming

You say its cause youre dreaming

Of how good its going to be

You say youve been around

And now youve finally found

Everything you wanted and needed in me

I dont have the heart to hurt you

Its the last thing I want to do

But I dont have the heart to love you

Not the way you want me to0

Inside Im dying

To see you crying

How can I make you understand

I care about you

So much about you, baby

Im trying to say this as gently as I can

Cause I dont have the heart to hurt you

Its the last thing I want to do

But I dont have the heart to love you

Not the way you want me too

Youre so trusting and open

Hoping that love will start

But I dont have the heart, oh, no

I dont have the heart

I dont have the heart to hurt you

Its the last thing I want to do

But I dont have the heart to love you

Not the way that you want me too

I dont have the heart (Oh)

Baby, I dont have the heart, I dont have the heart

I dont have the heart (Oh)

Baby, I dont have

I dont have the heart

I dont have the heart

I dont have the heart

 

 

１９８９年５月, ３９歲的美國黑人實力歌手詹姆士殷格朗（James Ingram）發行第三張大碟［Its Real］（Qwest／Warner Bros. Records出版）

製作群除他本人外, 尚包括Thom Bell, Gene Griffin, Gerald Levert, Dennis Matkosky, Michael J. Powell, Bernard Taylor

樂評銷售平凡

前三首單曲並沒打入Billboard流行單曲榜

 

 

由於前幾首單曲在R&B界反應不錯, 皆入Top３０

因此唱片公司在１９９０年８月又為４０歲的推出第四主打［I Dont Have the Heart］

由Alan Rich, Jud Friedman譜寫

詹姆士與Thom Bell將其製作成一首成人流行／靈魂抒情曲

殷格朗豐富飽滿的嗓音以投入激昂的嗓音演繹,渲染力強烈

 

［I Dont Have the Heart］登上Billboard單曲榜王座　為其事業第二首冠軍曲, 也是其個人唯一獨唱冠軍

名列１９９０年終熱門單曲＃３６

另外拿到副榜－成人抒情榜亞軍（年終＃４０）

R&B榜＃５３

隔年讓詹姆士二度提名葛萊美最佳流行男歌手

為其事業高峰之一

１９９９年殷格朗推出第二張精選輯［Forever More (Love Songs, Hits & Duets)］時, 又重新灌錄此曲

只是大碟銷售影響不大, ［Its Real］只拿到Billboard專輯榜＃１１７　副榜－R&B榜＃４４　

［I Dont Have the Heart］只帶給詹姆士短暫的光芒, 之後殷格朗的事業便走向下坡了
