Arthur Adams - It´s private tonight- Blue Thumb Lp



Es pura lógica que el guitarrista Arthur Adams, músico de sesión y de directo, colaborador habitual de gente como Nina Simone, B.B King, James Brown, Crusaders, Jimmy Smith, Jerry Garcia, Al Jarreau y muchos más... decidiera en un momento de su carrera, probar suerte y lanzarse a la loable tarea de grabar sus propios discos.
El primero de ellos es este "It´s private tonight" que grabó en 1972 y para el que se rodeo de músicos excepcionales: Phil Upchurch a la otra guitarra, Wilton Felder al bajo, Joe Sample en los teclados, Paul Humphrey a la batería y Dave Blumberg a los vientos y cuerdas. Un álbum completo en conjunto que incluye este "I can´t believe my eyes" firmado como el resto de los temas del disco por el propio Arthur. Posteriormente en la misma década vendrían otros lps : "Midnight Serenade" en el sello Fantasy en 1977, "I love, love, love love my lady" grabado en 1979 para A&M. Ninguno de ellos le reportó mayor reconocimiento del que ya tenía como guitarrista de sesión.
Su momento de éxito, ventas y popularidad, llegaria años despues con una bomba para la pista de baile: "You got the floor" grabada en 1981 para el sello Inculcation y altamente recomendable también, pero en una linea muy diferente a este "I can´t believe my eyes"... ¡ espero que os guste!




Arthur Adams- I can´t believe my eyes

Luther Ingram-If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right



If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather be wrong than right.
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I gotcha by my side
I don't care what your people say

Your friends tell you it's no future
in loving a married man
But, If I can't see you when I want to
I'll see you when I can
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you
knowing I got a wife and two little children
depending on me too
And am I wrong to hunger
for the gentleness of your touch
knowing I got someone else at home
who needs me just as much

And are you wrong to to give your love
to a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

Are you wrong to give your love
to a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

I don't wanna be right
If it means being without you
I don't want to right
if it means just sleepin at night
I don't wanna be right
If Loving you is wrong
