Ascoltando la grande musica di Barry White: Let The Music Play, con testo e video

Era il 4 luglio 2003, quando a seguito di un blocco renale, moriva a Los Angeles il leggendario Barry White, plurivincitore di premi Grammy Awards grazie alla sua musica ed ad oltre 100 milioni di dischi venduti in ogni parte del mondo.

Barry Eugene Carter, questo il suo vero nome, era nato a Galveston (USA) il 12 settembre 1944 ed aveva iniziato la sua carriera musicale nei primi anni ’60 ed era un cantautore, polistrumentista, arrangiatore e produttore musicale.
Nel 1969 incontrò le coriste Glodean James, sua sorella Linda e la cugina Diane Taylor, che divennero le Love Unlimited, con il quale raggiunse la vetta della Billboard Hot 100 con il brano “Love Theme”.
Negli anni a venire, Barry White pubblicò straordinari successi, dove la disco music, l’ R&B, il Soul si fondevano con la sua straordinaria voce pubblicando album fino al 1999.

Per ricordare questo geniale artista, ho pensato di postarvi la canzone “Let The Music Play“, contenuta nell’omonimo album del 1976, proponendovela con il testo originale ed il video di Youtube.

Testo: Barry White – Let The Music Play

One ticket, please
Lord have mercy, everybody’s there
Hey, what’s goin’ on man, yeah
She’s at home, yeah, she’s at home
Yeah, she’s at home

Let the music play
I just wanna dance the night away
Here, right here, right here is where I’m gonna stay
All night long, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, wee

Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Movin’, kickin’, groovin’, keep the music strong
On and on and on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on

I’m out here dancin’ and still, huh
I can’t erase the things I feel
The tender love we used to share
See, it’s like it’s no longer there
I’ve got to hide what’s killin’ me inside

Let the music play
I just want to dance the night away
Here, right here, right here is where I’m gonna stay
All night long, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Ah, movin’, kickin’, groovin’, keep the music strong
Ah, let it play on and on, let it play on and on
And on and on and on and on, play on and on, play

I think I’m gonna be alright, ha, ha, ha
If I can make it through the night, oh, Lord
I’ll just pretend she’s here with me
I’ll close my eyes, her face I’ll see
I know it’s make believe, but it’s the only hope for me

Let the music play
I just wanna dance the night away
Ah, here, right here is where I’m gonna stay
All night long, ooh, ooh, ooh, wee

Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Movin’, kickin’, groovin’, keep the music strong
Let it play on, let it play on, let it play on
Please, let it play on, let it play on
