All Around The World

Barry White e Lisa Stansfield

Barry White possuía um vozeirão (faleceu em julho de 2003) mas cantar com Pavarotti, com Placido Domingo só pelo inusitado, pelo bizarro do programa, como eu dizia no artigo de música anterior. No Youtube pode-se assistir a um video com o barítono colombiano Carlos Ramirez e o “the voice” Frank Sinatra, os dois cantando “Il Barbieri di Seviglia”. Os dois, não. Carlos Ramirez canta e Sinatra faz voz de falsete e alguma graça com aquele humor e domínio de palco que todo grande artista possui. Mas fazer dueto com um cantor lírico, só por brincadeira.
E eis aqui Barry White novamente desta vez com Lisa Stansfield, que é a estrela do video. Barry White faz “apenas” o back vocal. É um video para se ver repetidas vezes, como fiz, para admirar uma grande apresentação desses dois artistas, que ficou melhor do que as interpretações isoladas de cada um da mesma música.

Spoken:
I don't know where my baby is
but I'll find him, somewhere, somehow
I've got to let him know how much I care
I'll never give up looking for my baby

Chorus:
Been around the world and I, I, I
I can't find my baby
I don't know when, I don't know why
Why he's gone away
And I don't know where he can be, my baby
But I'm gonna find him
We had a quarrel and I let myself go
I said so many things, things he didn't know
And I was oh oh so bad
And I don't think he's comin' back, mm mm
He gave the reason, the reasons he should go
And he said so many things he never said before
And he was oh oh so mad
And I don't think he's comin', comin' back
I did too much lyin', wasted too much time,
Now I'm here a'cryin', I, I, I

Chorus
So open hearted, he never did me wrong
I was the one, the weakest one of all
And now I'm oh oh so sad
And I don't think he's comin' back, comin' back
I did too much lyin', wasted too much time,
Now I'm here a'cryin', I, I, I

Chorus x 2
I'm gonna find him, my baby
I did too much lyin', wasted too much time,
Now I'm here a'cryin', I, I, I

Chorus
I've been around the world, lookin' from my baby
Been around the world, and I'm gonna
I'm gonna find him

Chorus
