英國實力歌手［芭芭拉迪克森］成名曲──Easy Listening／流行曲──［Answer Me／回答我］

Answer me, oh my love,
Just what sin have I been guilty of?
Tell me how I came to lose your love?
Please answer me, sweetheart

You were mine yesterday,
I believed that love was here to stay,
Wont you tell me where Ive gone astray?
Please answer me, my love

If youre happier without me,
I will try not to care,
But if you still think about me,
Please listen to my prayer

You must know (ooh) Ive been true,

Wont you say that we can start anew,
In my sorrow now I turn to you,
Please answer me, my love

If youre happier without me
I will try not to care,
But if you still think about me,
Please answer me my love

You must know (ooh) Ive been true,
Wont you say that we can start anew,
In my sorrow now I turn to you,
Please answer me, my love

Answer me
Answer me my love

１９４７年９月生於蘇格蘭伐夫郡丹夫林的芭芭拉迪克森（Barbara Dickson）是英國實力歌手．

１９６８年開始灌錄商業音樂作品．

１９７４年在賣座音樂劇［John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert／約翰、保羅、喬治、林哥…和伯特］擔任歌手與鋼琴師角色．

［John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert］促成了她作為嘉賓在電視喜劇小品節目《The Two Ronnies》節目中的駐場演出，這使得迪克森的歌聲每週都能被超過一千萬的BBC電視觀眾所欣賞。

音樂劇聯合製片人Robert Stigwood將迪克森簽入他的唱片公司 RSO Records．

１９７６年４月，芭芭拉推出大碟［Answer Me／回答我］，由Junior Campbell編曲和製作．

專輯標題曲［Answer Me］為首支主打．

原本這是一首德語歌曲［Mütterlein／小母狗］，由Gerhard Winkler和Fred Rauch創作，德語版於1952年4月19日發行。

英文歌詞由Carl Sigman創作，並於1953年10月13日在紐約以《回答我》（Answer Me）為名出版。

Frankie Laine和David Whitfield演唱的英文版歌曲均在1953年登上英國單曲榜榜首。

迪克森的［Answer Me］被製作成一首Easy Listening／流行曲，旋律琅琅上口，節奏中板，

芭芭拉的詮釋輕鬆愜意．

此曲登上英國單曲榜＃９，成為迪克森在音樂上的首度個人成功．

不過單曲的成功並未轉嫁到專輯上，大碟［Answer Me］並未入榜．
