黑人歌手〔迪昂艾斯杜斯〕與英國巨星〔喬治麥可〕的合作──靈魂流行抒情精品──〔Heaven Help Me／上天救我〕

If you want it you can have it
That's what you said
But I don't want the things that you leave behind
Take the pictures, take the windows and the walls
But baby won't you leave me my peace of mind
Oh such a waste of time
Oh such a waste I still want you baby

(Heaven help me)
Heaven help me
(Talk to strangers)
Talk to strangers
(Heaven help me over you)
Heaven help me over you
I can't seem to take these changes
Everything reminds my heart of you

Thought the first time
Was the last time we'd be apart
Now I find I'm having to search again
It'll happen
It's got to happen
Come together
I just wish somebody would tell me when
Oh such a waste of time
Oh such a waste I still want you baby

(Heaven help me)
Heaven help me
(Talk to strangers)
Talk to strangers
(Heaven help me over you)
Heaven help me over you
I can't seem to take these changes
Everything reminds my heart of you

Heaven help
Heaven help
Heaven, heaven, heaven help me

Heaven help
Heaven help
Heaven, heaven, heaven help me

(Heaven help me)
Heaven help me
(Talk to strangers)
Talk to strangers
(Heaven help me over you)
Heaven help me over you
I can't seem to take these changes
Everything reminds my heart of you

(Heaven help me)
Heaven help me
(Talk to strangers)
Talk to strangers
(Heaven help me over you)
Heaven help me over you
I can't seem to take these changes
Everything reminds my heart of you
Woah

Heaven help
Heaven help
Heaven, heaven, heaven help me

Heaven help
Heaven help
Heaven, heaven, heaven help me
You're someone else's baby

Heaven help
Heaven help
Heaven, heaven, heaven help me

Heaven help
Heaven help
Heaven, heaven, heaven help me
So send me out the door

Heaven help
Heaven help
Heaven, heaven, heaven help me
You're gone so long
Can't help me now

１９７５年進入樂壇　加入Brainstorm團體　發過兩張專輯　但成績平平

８０年代擔任起喬治麥可（George Michael）在轟（Wham）時期與單飛後演唱會的樂手　彈奏貝斯

１９８９年　推出處女作〔Spell〕
喬治很講義氣的為他製作幾首歌曲

並在主打〔Heaven Help Me／上天救救我〕幫他合音

這首是旋律柔美　靈魂味頗濃的抒情歌曲
迪昂艾斯杜斯（Deon Estus）的真假音轉換頗為蠻出色
不過喬治麥可的合音非常搶耳　幾乎有點喧賓奪主
結果這首歌曲創下佳績　拿到美國流行榜＃５　黑人榜＃３　成人抒情榜＃３
雖然喬治麥可只有在chorus的部份出現　但媒體跟排行計算均給予他"合唱"的身份
我想〔Heaven Help Me〕的熱門喬治功不可沒
當時〔Faith／信念〕剛得到葛萊美獎最佳流行專輯　他正處於事業巔峰
在〔Kissing A Fool／親吻傻瓜〕功成身退後
〔Heaven Help Me〕就接續上了排行榜
或許大部人都把它當成喬治麥可的作品的吧
因為接下來迪昂艾斯杜斯（Deon Estus）就再也沒有這樣的成績出現
逐漸成為８０年代的回憶之一了

不知喜歡喬治麥可的人知不知道這首歌曲
我是在某張合輯接觸到〔Heaven Help Me〕　打從第一次聽到就相當喜歡

不過我覺得迪昂艾斯杜斯（Deon Estus）的嗓音跟喬治有點神似

某些句子你幾乎會搞混兩人聲音

或許他受到後者不小影響吧
Anyway, 〔Heaven Help Me〕是一首黑人靈魂流行抒情傑作　推薦給喜歡８０年代音樂的朋友
