美國歌壇巨星［蘿貝塔弗萊克］B面歌曲佳作──靈魂／放克／迪斯可──［Why Dont You Move in with Me／為何你不搬來和我住］

 

Why dont you move in with me?

We could be so happy

Why dont you move in with me?

We could be a family

 

We both love the toughest part

And thats not what in our hearts

Whats in their dirty minds

Oh baby

 

Evil minds think evil thoughts

And they get all over rot

Cause theyve left their love me you behind

 

Why dont you move in with me?

We could be so happy

Why dont you move in with me?

We could be a family

 

We could lay back for a while

Fix the house to suit our style

Do our natural thing

Raw vegetables and pies

 

Learn how I could tell a lie

Learn what makes each other cry

It could be so very nice

See upcoming R&B shows

Get tickets for your favorite artists

 

 

Why dont you move in with me?

We could be so happy

Why dont you move in with me?

We could be a family

 

People worry about the time

When Im yours and youre mine

Like when we are making love

Oh baby

 

But thats such a minor part

When you love with all your heart

With your hand inside mine very love

 

Why dont you move in with me?

We could be so happy

Why dont you move in with me?

We could be a family

 

１９７７年末　４０歲的黑人巨星歌姬蘿貝塔．弗萊克（Roberta Flack）發行個人第六張專輯［Blue Lights in Basement／地下室的藍光］（Atlantic唱片發行）

由Rubina Flake（蘿貝塔．弗萊克本名）, Joe Ferla, Gene McDaniels等製作

跟弗萊克往日作品不同, 加入不少當代流行曲風 .

首支［25^th of Last December／去年聖誕節］並沒打入Billboard單曲榜，只拿到副榜：靈魂榜＃５２，Easy Listening＃２５．

其B面歌曲為專輯曲目［Why Dont You Move in with Me／為何你不搬來和我住］

由Gene McDaniels創作，被製作成一首靈魂／放克／迪斯可，節奏輕快，旋律琅琅上口，

弗萊克的嗓音鬆弛而性感．

這是她當時少見的輕快曲風（後來越來越多）．

 

雖然首支單曲反應冷淡，但大碟第二主打［The Closer I Get to You］拿到單曲榜亞軍與金唱片（單曲標準：１００萬張）

讓專輯起死回生, 打入Top１０（＃８）　拿到金唱片（專輯標準：５０萬張＋）．

加拿大也登上＃９．
