What’d I Say
by Ray Charles
Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong
Come and love your daddy all night long
All right now, hey hey, all right
See the girl with the diamond ring
She knows how to shake that thing
All right now now now, hey hey, hey hey
Tell your mama, tell your pa
I'm gonna send you back to Arkansas
Oh yes, ma'am, you don't do right, don't do right
When you see me in misery
Come on, baby, see about me
Now yeah, all right, all right, ah, play it, boy
When you see me in misery
Come on, baby, see about me
Now yeah, hey hey, all right
See the girl with the red dress on
She can do the Birdland all night long
Yeah yeah, what'd I say, all right

何といってもエルビス(Elvis Presley)。映画『ラスベガス万才』です。
エリック・クラプトン(Eric Clapton)在籍時のブルース・ブレイカーズ(John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers)。
エディ・コクラン(Eddie Cochran)です。
ロイ・オービソン(Roy Obison)です。
ロネッツ(The Ronettes)です。
ジェリー・リー・ルイス(Jerry Lee Lewis)です。
クリフ・リチャード(Cliff Richard)です。
ソウルというよりはロックンロールの進化に寄与した曲のようです。
それでは今日はこの辺で。
