En esta edición, Carlos Herrera ha comenzado con una canción de Gil Scott-Heron. “¡Qué pelotazo! ¡Qué flauta!”, así ha presentado Carlos Herrera la canción “The Bottle”.
The Bottle
See that black boy over there, runnin' scared
His ol' man's in a bottle
He done quit his 9 to 5 to drink full time
So now he's livin' in the bottle
See that Black boy over there, runnin' scared
His ol' man got a problem
Pawned off damn near everything, his ol'
Woman's weddin' ring for a bottle
And don't you think it's a crime
When time after time, people in the bottle
See that sista, sho wuz fine before she
Started drinkin' wine
From the bottle
Said her ol' man committed a crime
And he's doin' time,
So now she's in the bottle
She's out there on the avenue, all by herself
Sho' needs help from the bottle
Preacherman tried to help her out,
She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle
And don't you think it's a crime
When time after time, people in the bottle
See that gent in the wrinkled suit
He done damn near blown his cool
To the bottle
He wuz a doctor helpin' young girls along
If they wuzn't too far gone to have problems
But defenders of the dollar eagle
Said "What you doin', Doc, it ain't legal, "
And now he's in the bottle.
Now we watch him everyday tryin' to
Chase the pigeons away
From the bottle
And don't you think it's a crime
When time after time, people in the bottle
“Un rapsoda, era una cosa rara, era medio músico, era un poco de todo. Era un buen animador cultural de su época, era sobre todo un inconformista y un tipo que a través de todos sus discos había hecho críticas de los medios corporativos manejados por los blancos, la superficialidad de la televisión y tantas otras cosas más. Y triunfa realmente es de 1978 con este tema porque hay varias cosas que te hacen atractiva esta canción. Primero la flauta es una flauta, casi, prácticamente mágica, tanto que hizo de esa canción casi una canción de culto como si fuera una especie de previa al hip hop”, ha analizado con mucho gusto Herrera.
Y de entrada también una de las canciones uno de los pilares fundamentales del sonido londinense de la mitad de los 70. Un milagro hecho gracias al talento de su creador y a un ingeniero. “Year Of The Cat”, de Al Stewart qué junto a los mejores instrumentistas que conocía de Londres para que hicieran varios solos en una canción que es una colección de monologuistas con guitarra, con piano, con saxo…
Year of the cat
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat
While she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat
Year of the cat
Así ha empezado 'Radio Carlitos Deluxe', para continuar con Anne Murray y su “Shadows In The Moonlight”.
Shadows In The Moonlig
We'll be shadows in the moonlight, darlin' I'll meet you at midnight
Hand and hand we'll go, dancin' through the Milky Way
And we'll find a little hide a way where we can love the whole night away
We'll be shadows in the moonlight right up 'til the light of day
Ooh the night is young and baby, so are we
Glad, I'm gonna make you glad you came
You won't need a thing
Just bring your love for me
And darlin' I will do the same
We'll be shadows in the moonlight, darlin' I'll meet you at midnight
Hand and hand we'll go, dancin' through the Milky Way
Do you want me to think
Just bring your love for me
You'll be glad you came
Just wait and see
We'll be shadows in the moonlight, darlin' I'll meet you at midnight
Hand and hand we'll go, dancin' through the Milky Way
And we'll find a little hide a way where we can love the whole night away
We'll be shadows in the moonlight right up 'til the light of day
“La música disco ha sido muy poco reconocida por la crítica y por los jurados de los premios. De hecho la música disco tiene seguramente un Grammy nada más, o dos, y mira que se dan en cada una de las ediciones. Una de las canciones que obtuvo el premio fue el “I Will Survive” de Gloria Gaynor, con esta increíble versión de Aretha Franklin”, ha explicado Herrera.
I Will Survive
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong and I learned how to get along
And now you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that, that look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I, I will survive
As long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey, hey
I asked the Lord, give me strength and don't let me fall apart
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And now you see me (see me) somebody new
I'm not that tender little person, still sweat for you
So you felt like dropping by and you expected me to be free
Well, I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
Oh, no (oh no) walk out the door (walk out the door)
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbyes
Did you think I'd crumble, ha ha ha
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, oh no (I will survive)
(As long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive)
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive (survive), I will survive, hey, hey
I, I, I will, will
I'm a survivor (oh)
I'm gon' to make it
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna get stronger
I'm a survivor (survivor) I'm gonna make it (make)
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna get stronger
(I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up)
(Not gonna stop)
(I'm gon' worker harder)
Are you listing?
Now you know I took all of the strength that I had
Not to fall apart
I kept trying hard
To mend the pieces of my broken heart
But I will survive
It took all of the strength I had
Not to fall apart
I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And now you see me ( and see me) somebody new
I'm not that tender little person still in love with you
Oh so you felt like stopping by and expected me to be free?
Yeah, well, I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
Beat it (beat it) get to steppin' (get to steppin')
Keep it moving, get it on down the road, alright (get on down the road)
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbyes?
Did you think I'd crumble, he he ha ha
Thought I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, this is me (I will survive)
Sure 'nuff, me (as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive)
(I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give)
And I'll survive (survive), I will survive, hey, hey, hey
Y el siguiente salto ha llegado con los Bee Gees, y la canción “You Know It's For You”.
You know it's for you
I would die for you.
I have cried for you ,believe me girl.
Don't you think it's time you made up your own mind?
All my love's for you.
All I do's for you.
Still I think it's time you made up your own mind.
A melody, my symphony
You know it's for you, love.
It's plain to see, it's meant to be.
Now it's up to you, love.
Still I'll wait for you.
Waiting just for you, don't leave me girl.
Don't you think it's time you made up your own mind?
Love is here for you.
Love was made for you, believe me girl.
Don't you think it's time you gave up?
You are mine.
You know it's for you [Repeat: x4]
Después, Herrera ha querido seguir con Bob Seger, por el que ha mostrado un gran entusiasmo y que hasta hoy no había podido pichar. Y lo ha hecho con la canción “Fire Lake” que hizo con su banda The Silver Bullet Band.
Fire Lake
Who's gonna ride that chrome three wheeler
Who's gonna make that first mistake
Who wants to wear those gypsy leathers
All the way to Fire Lake
Who wants to break the news about uncle Joe
You remember uncle Joe
He was the one afraid to cut the cake
Who wants to tell poor aunt Sarah
Joe's run off to Fire Lake
Joe's run off to Fire Lake
Who wants to brave those bronze beauties
Lying in the sun
With their long soft hair falling
Flying as they run
Oh they smile so shy
And they flirt so well
And they lay you down so fast
Till you look straight up and say
Oh Lord
Am I really here at last
Who wants to play those eights and aces
Who wants a raise
Who needs a stake
Who wants to take that long shot gamble
And head out to Fire Lake
Head out
Who wants to go to Fire Lake
And head out
Who wants to go to Fire Lake
And head out (who wants to go to Fire Lake)
Head out, head out (who wants to go to Fire Lake)
Out to Fire lake
Who's gonna do it (who wants to go to Fire Lake)
Who's gonna wanna do it (who wants to go to Fire Lake)
Who wants to do it, who wants to do it, yeah (who wants to go to Fire Lake)
Donny Osmond & Stevie Wonder - "My Cherie Amour"
My Cherie Amour
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer's day
My Cherie Amour, distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never notice me
My Cherie Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Elton John - "One Day At a Time"
One day at a time
You are my weakness
You are my strength
Nothing I have in the world
Makes better sense, 'cause I'm the fish and you're the sea
When we're together
Or when we're apart
There's never a space in between
The beat of our hearts, 'cause I'm the apple and you're the tree
One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for you
You, you
You are my woman
I am your man
Nothing else matters at all
Now I understand that I'm the door and you're the key
And every morning
I wake in your smile
Feeling your breath on my face
And the love in your eyes, 'cause you're the honey and I'm the bee
One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for us two
You too
You
Ooh
One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for you
You, you
Ooh
George Harrison - "Blow Away"
Blow Away
Day turned black, sky ripped apart
Rained for a year 'til it dampened my heart
Cracks and leaks
The floorboards caught rot
About to go down
I had almost forgot
All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away
Sky cleared up, day turned to bright
Closing both eyes now the head filled with light
Hard to remember what a state I was in
Instant amnesia
Yang to the Yin
All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away
Wind blew in, cloud was dispersed
Rainbows appearing, the pressures were burst
Breezes a-singing, now feeling good
The moment had passed
Like I knew that it should
All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away
Stevie Wonder - "Another Star"
Another Star
La la la la la la lala la
La la la la la la lala la
La la la la la la lala la
La la la la la la lala la
For you
There might be another star
But through my eyes the light of you it's all I see
For you
There might be another song
But all my heart can hear is your melody
So long ago my heart without demanding
Informed me that no other love colud do
But listen did I not though understanding
Fell in love with one
Who would break my heart in two
For you
Love might bring a toast of wine
But which each sparkle know the best for you I pray
For you
Love might be for you to find
But I will celebrate our love of yestarday
So long ago my heart without demanding
Informed me that no other love colud do
But listen did I not though understanding
Fell in love with one
Who would break my heart in two
For you
There might be another star
But through my eyes the light of you it's all I see
For you
There might be another song
But in my heart your melody will stay with me
