貓王是偉大的歌手,剛出道時,一身緊身衣褲打扮、抖動臀部的動作,很受衛道人士批評。可是他俊俏的臉龐、迷濛的眼神、一身搖滾的活力,大受女性歌迷的喜愛。男性也喜歡學著他彈吉他,對美眉放電,貓王可說是20世紀最偉大的歌手之一。
雖然他受封為搖滾歌王,但情歌唱得也很好,拍過很多歌舞電影,自己唱主題曲、插曲,風靡世界各國無數男女。
據他的回憶錄說,他在演唱會結束時,女歌迷列隊一波一波地等他吻別,有一次他的妻子也在隊伍當中,當貓王吻到妻子時,突然覺得眼熟,對她說:「我是否認識你」?
唉!女人多到不認識自己的枕邊人了。這種豔福很多男人羨慕吧!
我們來聽兩首貓王的抒情歌曲,不多介紹了,這兩首歌把美眉很好用喔!你一定要聽。
Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why I'll never know.
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
Oh my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
To me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea
To the sea
To the open arms
Of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
'Wait for me, wait for me'
I'll be coming home
Wait for me.
Oh my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
To me
To ...
Ooooooooooh.
