James Brown - Fever

Au vu des nombreux mails reçus et questions sur cette reprise de JB,voici un petit brief :

James a repris ce titre sur l'Album "COLD SWEAT" (1967)
Cet Album dans la carrière de JB pose le premier jalon du funk et fait l'effet d'une bombe. Les critiques musicales voient dans "Cold Sweat" un point d'orgue de la musique des années 1960 et 1970, considérant l'album comme une démarcation au niveau des paroles et de l'arrangement musical. Le nouveau son de James Brown, le funk, qui va atteindre l'apothéose entre 1969 et 1974

Pour la petite histoire, FEVER est un chanson américaine signée par Eddie Cooley et John Davenport (un pseudonyme d'Otis Blackwell).
Les paroles ont en réalité été écrites par Joseph Arrington Jr. (alias Joe Tex), qui les vendit pour 300 dollars à Cooley.
Pour la musique, Tex préconisait de reprendre l'air de Sixteen Tons, ce que fit Otis Blackwell.
Sortie en 1956, elle a été chantée par Little Willie John, qui en vendit plus d'un million d'exemplaires.
Toutefois, la version la plus célèbre date de 1958, interprétée par Peggy Lee.

lyrics:
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a feeling that's so hard to bear
You give me fever when you kiss me
And fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
And fever all through the night

Listen to me, baby
Hear ev'ry word I say
No one can love you the way I do
Because they don't know how to love you my way
You give me fever baby, when you kiss me
And fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
And fever all through the night

Bless my soul I love you
Take this ole heart away
And take this arms I'll never use
And just believe in what my lips have to say
You give me fever a-a, when you kiss me
And fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
And fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call James Brown
I know you gonna love me right
Mmh mmh, baby, mmh ....
Oh - no no - oh
My face is wet, my face, my face
My face is wet, yeah, my face is wet ....

Anyone know if this was recorded to an album or just ripped from TV? I know he didn't write it himself, but I can find it on any album of his - tribute or otherwise.

@AlgiersT504 Anything else would have been pointless... I could not imagine him singing these stupid Pocahontas lyrics! Peggy Lee was not bad but the original version is truely beautifull.

[marknhoss]

Sem dúvida a melhor versão!!



[AlgiersT504]

I respect James Brown for recording it with the original lyrics
