"Feelings" is a song based on a melody composed by Loulou Gasté and made famous by Morris Albert, who recorded it as the title track of his 1975 debut album. The song's lyrics, recognizable by their "whoa whoa whoa" luis chorus, concern the singer's inability to "forget my feelings of love".Albert's original recording of the song was very successful, scoring #6 on the pop and #2 on the Adult Contemporary charts in America and performing well internationally. Over the next few years "Feelings" was performed by many other vocalists including Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, José José, Frank Sinatra, Engelbert Humperdinck, Shirley Bassey, Glen Campbell, Sarah Vaughan, Dobie Gray and Johnny Mathis. It was also recorded by numerous easy listening bandleaders and ensembles such as Percy Faith, Ferrante & Teicher, 101 Strings and Herb Ohta who's Ukelele rendition was recorder with Andre Popp's orchestra for A&M Records.
In more recent years "Feelings" has been best known as a target of parody and ridicule for embodying what are perceived by many as the most insipid lyrical and musical qualities of 1970s "soft rock" music. It appears frequently on lists of "the worst songs ever" and was included on the 1998 Rhino Records compilation album '70s Party Killers.
Because of sylistic similarities "Feelings" is sometimes mistakenly associated with Barry Manilow, though Manilow has never performed or recorded the song.
In 2003 Greek singer Sakis Rouvas recorded a cover version of "Feelings". Rouvas recorded the song originally as "Pes Tis" for the Greek market, while also covering Mike Brant's French cover "Dis Lui". The English and French covers were written for the re-release of Rouvas' first international album, Ola Kala, for the European market.
The music video for the song was shot in the South of France, on a ship on the Mediterranean coast and features Rouvas and a woman who is his lover. The shooting took 48 hours to complete and was directed by Xavier Gens of the Bullring production company. The video is filmed widescreen. The Greek version of the song won two MAD Video Music Awards for "Sexiest Appearance in a Video" awarded to Sakis Rouvas, and one awarded to Gens for "Best Direction".
Lyrics:
Feelings,
Nothing more than feelings,
Trying to forget my
Feelings of love.
Teardrops
Rolling down on my face,
Trying to forget my
Feelings of love.
Feelings,
For all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl;
You'll never come again.
Feelings,
Wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.
Feelings,
Feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I'll never have you
Again in my heart.
Feelings,
For all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl;
You'll never come again.
Feelings,
Feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I'll never have you
Again in my life.
Feelings,
Wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms.
Feelings...
