UStevie Wonder wenza iRainbow Theatre, eLondon, nge-28 kaJanuwari 1974. (Ifoto nguMichael Putland / imifanekiso kaFetty). UStevie Wonder uphuma kukhenketho olufutshane oluya kumzisa eMadison Square Garden ngoNovemba 6, esenza icwecwe lakhe elibalaseleyo, Iingoma kwiKhiye yoBomi , ukusuka ekuqaleni ukuya ekugqibeleni.
I-albhamu iyi-juggernaut yeemvakalelo, isipho esikhulu kakhulu esivela entliziyweni yengqondo, kunye nomsebenzi wobugcisa phantse kuwo nawuphi na umlinganiselo. Umnumzana Wonder umisele ukugubungela ububanzi obucetyiswe sisihloko sealbham, akukho nto ingaphantsi kwesitshixo sobomi. Kwaye ukuba khange ayibethe yonke, injongo yakhe yayiyinyani. Yayisisiphelo sokuqhutywa kwe-albhamu ezine (ngokumangalisayo ngokukhutshwa kwisithuba seenyanga ezingama-39) sokugqwesa okuzinzileyo okungalinganiyo ngaphandle kweMat. URushmore wee-1960s-1970's giants zomculo othandwayo-iBeatles, iRolling Stones, uBob Dylan kunye noVan Morrison. Ngaphezulu kwekhosi yokurekhodisha, ii-LPs ezigcwele-ubude kunye nengoma ezine-intshi ye-7 intshi EP, wenza ukungahambi kakuhle. Ukusuka kwingoma yomculo, ukuya kwiingoma, imidlalo emangazayo kunye nemveliso ebalaseleyo, kufuneka ibalwe njengenye yeerekhodi ezinkulu zexesha lonke. Ukuba ndigwetywe nje njengecwecwe lokudlala kwezwi, akukho namnye onokubona kungcono. Nantsi enye yeemvumi ezibalaseleyo zenkulungwane yama-20 neyama-21 kwinqanaba lobuchule bakhe, eyalela ukuba siqwalasele iingoma ezingama-22 ezisasazeka ngaphezulu kwamatye amathathu kwi-vinyl.
Ukuthengiswa kwe- $ 13.98 ngo-1976, yayiyirekhodi yabantu, eyaqala kwi-Nombolo 1 kwi-chart ye-Billboard Pop Albums. Ichithe iiveki ezili-13 kwi-Nombolo 1 kunye neeveki ezingama-35 kwiTop 10, yavelisa ii-single ezine zeBillboard Top 40, ezimbini zazo zaya ku-Nombolo 1. Yayiyicwecwe lokuqala elakhutshwa phantsi kukaMnu. Wonder. ikhontrakthi neMotown Records.
Ndandineminyaka eyi-10 ukuphuma kwayo kwaye emva kokukhukuliswa ngumjelo ongapheliyo omnye, ndinqwenela, ndahamba ndaya ezantsi kwivenkile yokurekhoda ndaza ndachitha imali yam yesibonelelo. Yayiyicwecwe lam lokuqala endalithenga ndedwa. Ndandiwazi umculo kaStevie Wonder osele evela kwirediyo. Ii-single ezi-Funky ezinje ngeNkolelo, iGround ePhakamileyo kunye neBoogie kumaReggae Women yayizizinto ezinkulu. Njengoyena mntwana mdala kusapho lwam lwaseLong Island, irediyo ye-AM yayiyeyona nto ndiyibonayo kumculo kwii-1970s zakuqala. Ndandisele ndiqokelele ingqokelela yee-singles ezingama-40 ezikhethekileyo endandizithengile, kunye nezinye ii-LPs eziphambili kunye nee-60s ezingatshatanga endandizifumene kubamelwane. Kodwa ndinqwenela, ingoma yendoda eneminyaka engama-26 ubudala i-nostalgic yexesha xa yayineminyaka endandinayo ngelo xesha, yandinyanzela ukuba ndizibophelele kutyalo-mali lwam lomculo olubalulekileyo. Ndifuna le rekhodi njengabahlobo bam abaninzi banqwenela ibhayisekile enesantya esili-10.
Ndicinga ukuba bendi ngumntu wam omdala kwaye ndathenga irekhodi ngokwesiseko seR & B enzima endiyivileyo kuWish, bendizakuthi ndiyehliswe yindlela evula ngayo i-albhamu, ngokungummangaliso kuhlobo lwenqaku eliphakathi. Njengomntwana, nangona kunjalo, ingqondo yam yayivulekile. Ngapha koko, ngelixa ndandizithanda ezo singles zifakwe zi-funk, ndandikwangumlandeli omkhulu wee-ballads ezigudileyo zikaStevie. UnguLanga loBomi baM kwaye uCherie Amour wam, uphinde wathetha nam. Olo tshintsho lwenziwe ngu-My Cherie Amour (Oh Cherie Amour, mncinane omncinci endimthandayo ...) ngakumbi wandibamba amadolo.
Nazi ezinye iimpazamo zam zobuqu, iingoma zezona zimeleyo kwelicwecwe kunye nezo ndijonge phambili kuzo ekuveni ukuva zisenziwa bukhoma:
Uthando ' s Sifuna Uthando Namhlanje
Iingoma kwiKhiye yoBomi ivula ngesityebi i-cappella ensemble yamazwi amadoda eyazisa uLuthando ngeMfuno yoThando namhlanje, enokuthi ibe yimigca engaphezulu evela kuStevie. Kunzima ukuxelela. Ngelixa icwecwe lize nencwadana enamaphepha angama-24 enamazwi kunye namanqaku e-liner, enoluhlu olubanzi lwabasebenzi-kunye nephepha lombulelo elinqwala wonke umntu ovela kuKareem Abdul Jabaar, kuDavid Bowie, ukuhla ukuya kuFrank Zappa yintoni kwingoma nganye engacacanga njenge-Rolling Stones ' Ukugxothelwa kwisitalato esikhulu . Umnumzana Wonder, nangona kunjalo, udlala izixhobo ezininzi kwi-albhamu ngokwakhe, kubandakanya amagubu, kwaye ujikelezwe liqela lomculo eliyintsika ye-albhamu. Umdlali we-bass stellar, uNathan Watts, ngoyena ubalaseleyo kwiqela elinomtsalane, kwaye uhlala esisidambisi esizinzileyo noMnumzana Wonder unanamhla.
Awufuni ukuba iphele. Kukuthatha ngokungalindelanga. Ubucinga ukuba umfana uzifudumeza nje. Sele ecula ngaphandle nabani na okhe weva. |
Umnumzana Wonder ungena ngokuthambileyo, Molo kusasa okanye ngokuhlwa zihlobo / Nanku umvakalisi onobuhlobo. Konke ngaxeshanye, sifumana umbono wamandla athile kwaye mhlawumbi yenye yeempazamo ezimbalwa ezikwirekhodi. Sifumana imfudumalo kunye nokuhlekisa okushiye imixholo kuyo yonke irekhodi. Kodwa sikwanaso nesuntswana le-syntax ecekeceke ethi ipelete umxholo weengoma. UStevie ungomnye wabo babhali beengoma abaya kuthi baphume babaleke-ngamanye amaxesha, ngakumbi njenge-flea-flicker ephindeneyo-ukugqibezela isingqisho. Kule meko, akafani noCole Porter kwaye ngakumbi njengoBob Dylan kwaye ngubani onokukhalaza ngaloo nto? NjengoMnu.Dylan, la magama athobele isingqisho somninimzi. Uhlala njalo uMnu. Wonder ecinga izandi zesilabhasi kwaye asishiya sijinga kwizicengcelezo, ezibonakala ngathi ziyilwe kwaye sele ziluphawu lwentengiso oluthandekayo.
Umyalezo wengoma ulula. IiBeatles zacula ukuba yonke into oyifunayo luthando. Kwiminyaka elishumi kamva, nasi isilumkiso esibi sokuba uthando ngokwayo ufuna uthando. Kwilizwi le-anchor yeendaba, isebenza njengesingeniso esifanelekileyo kwi-albhamu, ethi ukongeza kumaxesha okusondelelana, inike umbono obanzi we-lens yelizwe phakathi kwiminyaka ye-1970, umbandela njengombono ngokubanzi ububanzi bezitayile zomculo eziqulathe zona.
Iisonics, imfudumalo yomkhondo uqobo, ikutsalela ngaphakathi. Uyazinikela kwisandi sonke, sisityebi kwaye sinobukho obucokisekileyo. Kodwa ke nawe uyayifumana yonke le ilekese yendlebe ibekwe ndawonye njengomsebenzi olayishiwe kaBrian Wilson weeBoys Boys. Yirekhodi yeklasikhi yeklasikhi, enemixholo ebekwe ngokugqibeleleyo kunye nokuhamba ngaphezulu kwengqondo.
Ingoma ihlala ithintelwe ngokufanelekileyo kubuninzi belungiselelo. Kodwa njengakwiingoma ezininzi ezikwialbham, uMnu.Wonder wongeza i-vamp ephuculweyo ngaphezulu kwe-chorus ephindaphindwe ngentengiso kunye nefowuni kunye nokuphendula isitayile sevangeli. Izwi lakhe liqala ukunyuka kwi-octave. Ulungelelwaniso lokutshisa kancinci luthatha uluhlu olutsha lokonwaba, emva koko lube lolunye. Ngaphambi kokuba uyazi, utshayelwe ngokupheleleyo kuyo. Ukuthembela okubonisile kuStevie Wonder xa uye wayokuhla nge-14 yeedola kwi-LP esekwe kwi-Wish yavela yabekwa kakuhle.
Uthando Lufuna Uthando Namhlanje luyaqhubeka ngaphezulu kwemizuzu esixhenxe. Kwaye awufuni ukuba iphele. Kukuthatha ngokungalindelanga. Ubucinga ukuba umfana uzifudumeza nje. Sele ecula ngaphandle nabani na okhe weva. Ukucula okuphefumlelweyo. Ukucula ngobuchule.
Umhlaba weLali iGhetto
IiBeatles zinempembelelo kwi-albhamu njengoSly Stone, uC Curtis Mayfield kunye noMarvin Gaye. Kwaye ayisiyiyo nje ubukhulu kunye namabhongo, kodwa ngomculo uthetha ngokunjalo. Ewe, uSir Duke uvakala ngathi ibingabhalwa nguPaul McCartney, kwaye uHare Krishnas ocula ingoma ethi Pastime Paradise ngumbono ovela kwincwadi yokudlala yaseGeorge Harrison. Umhlaba weLali yaseGhetto luhlobo lwee-1970s synth Eleanor Rigby.
UHerbie Hancock, owayedlala ingoma ethi As, uthi uyayithanda indlela uStevie awayeyisebenzisa ngayo iokhestra… UStevie akaweli kumgibe endiwenzayo ukuzama ukwenza izandi zemitya ye-acoustic. UStevie uvumela ii-synths ukuba ziyile nto ziyiyo, into engekhoyo kwi-acoustic. La malungu, avela kwi-ARP synthesizer, isandi ngokwaneleyo njengemitya yokukuxelela ukuba i-faux minuet vibe i-satirical, ukhenketho lwe-tip-toe kwii-1970 zase-ghetto zasezidolophini zaseMelika. Ingoma ibhalwe nguGary Byrd, ochithe iinyanga ezimbalwa kuyo ukuba afowunelwe nguWonder ngexesha lokurekhoda kunye nemfuno engxamisekileyo yevesi entsha, eyanikezelwa nguMnu Byrd kwimizuzu engama-20. Ingoma ijolise ngaphandle kokuchukumisa, kwaye kucacile ukuba mhlophe, abanye abantu abajonga kwelinye icala okanye bade bahlazise amahlwempu. Abanye abantu bathi kufanele sikuvuyele oko sinako. ’Okwangoku, iintsapho zitya ukutya kwezinja ngelixa abezobupolitika behleka besela, benxilile kuzo zonke iimfuno.
Umnumzana Wonder usisusa kwikhosi ebekwe ziingoma ezimbini zokuqala. Uthando oludinga uthando Namhlanje luqulathe isilumkiso kodwa ekugqibeleni ngumyalezo wethemba lokuba sinako ukujika amandla ezicwangciso ezimbi. Ingoma ye-groovy ecothayo ye-funk, Yokuthetha noThixo, inikezela ngomthombo omnye welo themba ngokholo lokuzinikela. Umhlaba weLali iGhetto unomhlaba, nangona kunjalo. Ayisiyo i-Dylan-esque ekhomba umnwe; Umnumzana Wonder kunye noMnumzana Byrd banikezela nje nge-litany yokwenyani yokuba ubomi bunjani kwii-ghettos zasezidolophini zaseMelika ngexesha lokudodobala okuphantsi kwezixeko zelizwe. Ibuza ngokulula, ukuba ayenzanga ngokungakhathali, Ndixelele, ungonwaba kwiLali yeGhetto Land?
Mhlekazi uDuke
Umkhondo okhokelela kuSir Duke, i-fusion Workout Contusion, wawumalunga nomkhombandlela we-jazz owawusenziwa ngoo-1970. UMhlekazi uDuke, nangona kunjalo, unika imbeko ngqo koovulindlela ukuba ixesha alisayi kusivumela ukuba silibale. Umnumzana Wonder wayeyiqalile icwecwe ngexesha lokufa kukaDuke Ellington ka-1974. Ingoma yayingowesibini engatshatanga kwi-albhamu kunye neyesibini yeNombolo 1 yokutshitshisa.
Ukuqhuma kwebhedu kuvula ingoma kunye ne-riff ekhonza njengeyokuqala kweekhonkco ezintathu eziphambili. Njengenombolo ye-pop-jazz, ibuyela emva kwiintsuku zokuqala zebhendi enkulu, kunye ne-jaunty 1930s-isizini eshushu yejazz, into ecaleni kwemigca yeDiminuendo eBlue, kunokuba i-sexy languid swing ive, yithi, Iiblues zeJeep, zombini ezinokuviwa kwirekhodi lokubuya likaEllington, Hlala eNewport 1956 . Ukulahla i-vibe kunye nengoma ekhulayo yomculo we-chorus ungaziva konke (ikhonkco lesibini) inoPaul Umama Wakho Ufanele Ukwazi UMcCartney ubhale kuyo yonke indawo. Kodwa umlobothi wesithathu wengoma, oza nokophuka kunye neesassopopated bass, ubhedu, ikhibhodi kunye nemigca yegitare zikwanika iingcebiso kwimpembelelo yanamhlanje uMhlaba, Umoya kunye noMlilo ezazinazo kuMnu Wonder. Ngexesha lokurekhodwa, elo bhendi lalifikelela kwi-zenith yalo kunye nokurekhodwa kwe-R & B eqhutywa uphondo eqhutywa ngolu hlobo. USir Duke lilungiselelo elimanyeneyo lokudibanisa, elenza ukuba kumangalise nangakumbi ukuqaphela indlela uNathan Watts abonakala ngayo nenxalenye yebhasi emangazayo. Ukuba ucinga ukuba uyivile ngokwaneleyo ingoma, zama ukumamela elinye ixesha kunye neefowuni zakho ngelixa ujolise kwii-bass.
Sikwafumana ngaphezulu kwefilosofi yombala ongaboniyo kaStevie. Esi ayisosifundo sinye sokubaluleka kokubaluleka kwamagalelo ase-Afrika-aseMelika kumculo waseMelika obenzelwe ukwenza ityala (njengoko mhlawumbi iLali yaseGhetto Land kunjalo); ngumbhiyozo wabo bonke-abamhlophe, abamaYuda, abamnyama, abesilisa nabasetyhini-abaye banceda ekwakheni olo hlobo lobugcisa bejazz baseMelika.
Ndiyanwena
U-Eric Clapton wathi ngo-1974 uStevie Wonder ngoyena mntu ubetha kakhulu kwixesha lethu. Njengoko intatheli yomculo uEric Sandler esitsho ngokuchanekileyo, le yayiyindumiso enkulu evela kwindoda eyayidlala noGinger Baker. Inkqubo yokwenyani yomculo, uStevie wayesele enobuchule kumagubu, ipiyano kunye ne-harmonica eneminyaka eyi-9. Xa wayeneminyaka eyi-20, wayengeyiyo nje inkwenkwana ye-pop ngokwakhe, kodwa wayebhala kwaye evelisela abanye, kubandakanya ne-Shame ye I-Spinners, apho adlala khona igubu elimnandi ngokwakhe. ( Apha yindlela yokuxhasa ngaphandle kwezwi.)
Ndinqwenela ukuba ngokungathandabuzekiyo ipateni yegubu likaStevie Wonder. Ngaphandle kokuba noluvo lwangaphakathi lwe-groove, kukho ubuchule bomculo obunokubakho ekubeni sisixhobo esinezixhobo ezininzi, ngokuchasene nomntu ozichaza ngokungqongqo njengegubu. Kukho umsonto ongaguquguqukiyo obaleka kuloo mzila we-Spinners, ngeNkolelo, kwaye unokuphinda uviwe kwakhona ndinqwenela; uphawu lwentengiso Wonder bouncy beat. Inento yokwenza nendlela uMnumzana Wonder asebenza ngayo ngamacangci eminqwazi. Ngomnqweno wam, umzekelo, qaphela indlela ekwenziweni kwe-doo-op echaphazeleke emva kokuqhekeka, uvula kwaye avale umnqwazi ngendlela engalindelekanga kwaphela nengafanelekanga, esenza isigqi sesigqi phantsi kweengoma zokwenene. Kwaye i-hi-hat gloss ikhona ukusuka phezulu kwingoma. Ngelixa ukukhaba kunye nomgibe ukubetha kuzingqina njengomqolo wethrekhi, ii-triplets ezi-floss kunye nezivakalisi azidlalayo kwi-hi-hat, evelele kakhulu kumxube, yintliziyo yovuyo eyenza ukhuphiswano lwethu lwenqwelomoya.
Oko kusizisa kuloo groove, enye yezona zidumileyo kwi-funk. Njenge-colloquialism yomculo, i-groove kunzima ukuyichaza kodwa siyayazi xa siyiva. I-groove ifezekisiwe xa isigubhu sibuyela epokothweni yesingqino kwaye sigcina ibhendi ekuyekeni ukungcungcutheka kwemincili kunye netempo ebibekwe phezulu kwingoma. Inika indawo emnandi kunye noqikelelo lwendibano, besazi ukuba banokuxhomekeka kwisingqi, okanye babuye umva kuyo njengokhetho lomculo, njengakwigama eliqulathe ijezi, jika.
Ndi nqwenela, njengoko kubonisiwe kwi IiAlbham zakudala Uxwebhu malunga nealbhamu , UStevie waqala ukurekhoda kwiFender Rhodes ipiyano yombane, esisisixhobo apho aqala khona phantse zonke iingoma ezikwi-albhamu. Isandla sakhe sasekhohlo sasidlala umgca wokuhamba kweebhasi oqhubekayo, owathi kamva waphindaphindeka kwaye wahonjiswa ngesilayidi esikhawulezayo sesigingci sebass uNathan Watts. Emva koko uMnu.Wonder wangena walala phantsi loo ngoma, yalandelwa ngokufutshane zizandi ezinje nge-pizzicato yenkuku ekrwela iinxalenye zekatala, eneneni zizinto ezimbini ezikhuphisanayo ezidlala izixhobo zokubala.
Ingumkhondo osulelayo, we-badass owenziwe nokuba-badder ngohlaselo lobhedu olunzima. Umnumzana Wonder ujikeleza ingoma emnandi ekhawulezileyo enobukrelekrele. Ngaba singahle sihleke kumgca onjengokuzama okusemandleni akho ukuzisa amanzi emehlweni akho / Ukucinga ukuba kungamnqanda ekuphakameni kwakho / Ndiyathanda ukuba loo mihla ingabuya kwakhona / Kutheni loo mihla yafuneka ihambe? Ukuba akunjalo, sisengancuma iisigarethi ezaziwayo zokuTshaya kwaye sibhale into embi eludongeni, silandelwe ngudadewabo kaMnumzana Wonder, impendulo eluleka kaRenee Hardaway Wena nkwenkwe imbi! Kwaye uninzi lwethu lukhumbula impendulo enye esayenza kubantakwethu abancinci abathi bazokusixelela: Ungatsho nje ukuba ndiza kukunika nantoni na oyifunayo kulo mhlaba ubanzi.
Umnumzana Wonder wayibhala le ngoma kusuku olulandelayo emva kwepikniki yaseMotown. Ilebheli kunye nesitudiyo sisebenza njengoluhlobo lwesikolo esiphakathi kunye nesikolo esiphakamileyo sobukrelekrele benkwenkwe, enokuthi ichaze ngokungacacanga ukubonakala komntwana ebuntwaneni.
IParadesi yePasta
Umnumzana Wonder uwakhele lo mzila ukusuka kwiprotocol yohlobo oluthile (ukukwazi ukudlala amaqhosha / amanqaku amaninzi ngaxeshanye) Yamaha synthesizer, awayibiza ngokuba nguMatshini Wokuphupha. UGary Olazabal, owayengomnye weenjineli eziphambili kwirekhodi uxelele IsandiSound.com uMnumzana Wonder wayenomdla wokusebenzisa izixhobo ekungekho mntu wumbi wayenazo. UStevie usazama ukufumana into entsha elandelayo, utsho. Ufana nje nomntwana ngalondlela.
Kubalulekile ukuba uqonde ukuba le yayisezintsuku zokuqala zabenzi bokuhlanganisa. Izandi ze-Analog synthesizer, ezenziwa nguvulindlela yinkampani yeMoog, zaqala ukuviwa kwiirekhodi ezithandwayo malunga nexesha leeBeatles 'Apha Liza Ilanga. Kodwa itekhnoloji eyenze ukuba iifeksimiles ezifanelekileyo zezandi ze-acoustic ezinjengeentambo zazisesigaba sokukhula. Itekhnoloji yedijithali iya kuyiguqula ngakumbi, kodwa yayiyiminyaka kude. Ngeengoma ezinje ngePastime Paradise, uMnu Wonder wayevuthela iingqondo zethu njengoko sasibotshelelwe kwiintloko zeradio Shack kumagumbi okuhlala abazali bethu ngendlela efanayo neBeatles kwiminyaka elishumi ngaphambili yabathandi bomculo abadala.
Kulula ukuthatha umkhondo njengePastade yeParadesi ngoku ngoku, xa nawuphi na umntwana oneGarage Band enokuthi ngokukhawuleza acofe uluhlu olubanzi lweempawu zonyana. Kwaye ukanti umlobi u-Coolio uphakamise yonke ingoma njengesampulu yokwenza eyakhe ingoma eyahlukileyo ngengoma ethi Gangsta's Paradise ngo-1995, kudala emva kokuba izixhobo zedijithali zifumanekile ukwenza izandi ezitsha ngokulula. Ngo-1975, ukuphumeza into elula njengokuphinda ubuye isandi esivula umkhondo kwakuthetha ukujonga iteyiphu, ukuyijika, kunye nokufumana indawo efanelekileyo-kanye njengokuba uMnu Wonder eqala ukucula umgca wokuqala— ukulahla isandi kwinto eza kwenza inkosi yokugqibela. Kwiminyaka embalwa kamva, iqhinga elifanayo liya kuba kukucofa iqhosha.
Kwi IiAlbham zakudala Uxwebhu, Mnu.Wonder walatha kuMhlaba wonke, Wind & Fire groove eyayisenzeka ngelo xesha, njengempembelelo. Uyibonisa ngokucofa isingqisho esivakala ngathi liqela elithi Alikwazi Ukulufihla Uthando ukusukela ngonyaka ka1975, unyaka umnumzana Wonder wayekwishishini lokurekhoda icwecwe. Uxinzelelo lwePastime yeParadesi, exhaswe yintsimbi yeAfro-Cuban kunye neHare Krishna bells, ifikelela kwi-apotheosis xa ikrismesi yeKrishna chorus, iziswa ezitalatweni, imessage nge-choir yevangeli eculayo Siya Koyisa.
Isihloko sidlala ngamagama malunga nokubanjiswa kwi-nostalgia engeyiyo kwaye ungajongani nezinto eziyinyani zangoku. Ngelixa umntu enokubuza ngokufanelekileyo ukuba ayisiyiyo le nto ayenziwayo nguMnu Wonder ngokwakhe nge-Wish noSir Duke bakwicwecwe linye — ngapha koko, ingaba ebengaphili kwiparadesi yomdlalo othile kwi-amber ye-nostalgia, apho i-whoopin '[yakhe ] ngasemva wakhunjulwa ngocoselelo? -ngumbandela wesicelo.
Ngokuqinisekileyo, sonke siyakonwabela ukujonga emva. Kodwa kwiminyaka embalwa ngaphambi kokonyulwa kukaMongameli uRonald It's Morning Again eMelika Reagan, iPasttime Paradise iyalumkisa kwezopolitiko ubuqhetseba beemvakalelo ezinjalo. Iintsuku ezizukileyo sele zishiye ngasemva / Bachitha ixesha labo elininzi bekhumbula ukungazi… Ngelixa abantu base Mzantsi bejonge ngothando ngexesha lokwahlulwa bajolise apha, Mnu. Wonder uthatha iswayipha kwabo bathembekileyo kangangokuba bayamkela Ukuhlala kwiimeko ezimbi kunye nethemba losindiso.
Nangona le ngoma ithatha izifundo ezithile kwi-lyric yayo, uMnu Wonder ufumana i-litany ye-litany yamagama, njengokuba uBono wayeneminyaka elishumi kamva. Ndiyakhumbula, xa wayebhala le ngoma kweso studio, wayenzima ukuza nawo onke loo '-tion' amagama afana 'nokuchithwa,' 'ukwahlukana,' 'ukuxhaphaza,' injineli uMnu Olazabal uthe. Wayezama ukuza ngokwaneleyo loo mazwi ayenokuthetha into kwaye abe nengqondo.
Ubuhlungu obuqhelekileyo
Ingoma elandelayo, i-Summer Soft, isebenza njengesixhobo esipholileyo kwiParade yeParadesi kunye nomoya okhanyayo uyaqhubeka kwingoma elandelayo yealbhamu, Ubuhlungu obuqhelekileyo. Kodwa kukuhlala ixesha elifutshane. Le ngoma i-Al Green-flavored iqala ngelizwi lika-Stevie-as-naif, eqhubeka neengoma ze-Innocence ngentambo ye-albhamu, enokwahlulwa ngokwemigca kaWilliam Blake Iingoma zokuNgenatyala kunye namava . Umculo we-melancholy owenza inxalenye yokuqala yecandelo le-Ordinary Pain suite alikho ngaphandle kokuhlekisa. Inene Ngummangaliso Ukushicilelwa Mxelele ukuba wonwabile / Kugqityiwe enyanisweni / Ngaba angamsa kunye nentlungu ayibuyisileyo mhlawumbi yeyona ndlela yakhe yokuzivocavoca ukugqiba isingqisho.
Yintoni ebangela ukuba la maxesha omculo asebenze kangaka? Ukuba besinokuyicacisa, ngaba besingawudinga umculo? Ngumculo ngokwawo ogqitha kula magama kuphela anokuwuchaza. |
Kodwa eli bhinqa le-hangdog elihambileyo lenze into engeyiyo kum lijika kakubi ngenxa yalo lathi / lithe icandelo lesibini. Njengokuba isiqingatha sokuqala siphuma kamnandi, mamela indlela uStevie awongeza ngayo amanqaku amnyama esehla kwipiyano yakhe yombane, ephela kwinqaku elingafunekiyo eliqalisa kwi-funk yecandelo lesibini. Ukukhokela ukubiza kunye nokuphendula ikwayala yamabhinqa yamaGrike yeentlobo, uShirley Brewer ugxotha ngaphandle kokuphikisa umbalisi-we-me-wengoma yokuqala, evula ngokungacacanga Usisidenge nje sokucinga / bendicinga ukuba uyazi uthando lwalukhohlakele. Ngaloo mgca, ukuzazisa kukaMnu Wonder kubonakaliswe. Umbono wehlabathi awunikileyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kwi-albhamu uvela kumbalisi ongafezekanga. UNks Brewer uyamqhwaba amshiye emfiliba.
Ababini banokudlala umdlalo wothando olukhohlakeleyo. Ngoku ukuba siva into ayithethayo, sicinga ukuba, Ewe, hmmm. Mhlawumbi wayengekho ' Inkwenkwe elungileyo emva koko . Umlingiswa kaNks Brewer ujinga kwizenzo ezimbalwa ezinoxanduva lomlingiswa kaStevie: Uyalila iinyembezi ezinkulu zeengwenya / Ukutshatisa ezo ndalila iminyaka / xa bendikulindile ekhaya / Ubuphumile kwenye indawo . Uqhuba isikhonkwane ngokuqinileyo ngomgca endandisazi ukuba uthando lwethu kuya kufuneka luphele / Ngobusuku endabenza ngayo nomhlobo wakho. Ndandisoyika ilizwi lakhe xa ndandineminyaka eyi-10.
Uluvo lukaNkskz. Brewer lolunye lokuxhotyiswa, luxhaswe yi-chorus yoosisi ebandakanya uLinda Lawrence, uTerri Hendricks, uSundray Tucker, uCharity McCrary kunye noMadelaine Jones, uhlobo oluqinileyo lwe-R & B oluxhasa isiko le-Ikettes kunye neLaBelle . Kwirekhodi enezinto ezimnandi ze-1970s, i-beefy synth-eqhutywa groove yenxalenye II ye-Ordinary Pain yindawo ebetha kakhulu, ikhonkco phakathi kwe-Sly Stone kamva, i-Funkadelic, kwaye-kunye neempondo zempondo ngaphezulu kwezantsi enzima-izinto weza kunyaka olandelayo okanye emibini, njengeNdlu yeZitena yase Commodores.
Ndifundile okanye ndeva abantu abayifumana le njengendawo ebuthathaka kwi-albhamu. Ngokuchasene noko, kum yenza i-linch pin ephakathi, ngokugqwesileyo ifaka okuninzi okwenza ukuba irekhodi lanelise, ithambile / inzima / ayinabuchule / ikrakra / imsulwa / amava / uvuyo / imixholo yeentlungu zonke ziqengqelwe kwingoma enye.
Isn ' t Uyathandeka
Xa ndandingumntwana, ndandiye ndiphinde ndicule iindawo ezithile zeengoma ezinye ndiphindaphinde, ndiphakamise inaliti kwiirekhodi zam kwaye ndiyibeke ngononophelo ndiyibeke phantsi ukuze ndimamele kwakhona kutshintsho lwekholamu, ilizwi eliphefumlelweyo, okanye ikatala yodwa. Ngaba Akathandeki, uStevie usenza ngathi sifuna iingoma ezithandekayo ukuba ziqhubeke, sinyanzelisa utshintsho olwenziwayo njengoko usisa kwiiplanethi ezintsha zovuyo kunye ne-chromatic harmonica (ngokuchasene nehabhu yebhendi) solo ehamba ngejazz harmonica edlulileyo virtuoso, Toots Thielemans, ukuya kummandla kaSonny Rollins. Xa ingoma yaba yingoma yealbham eyaziwayo yediski ejikelezayo, Mnumzana Wonder waphumelela ukumelana nezibongozo zeMotown ze45 RPM 7-intshi enye. Kodwa ingxelo esihlala siyiva kunomathotholo luhlelo olwenziwe yileyibhile. Kodwa kukude kakhulu? Nceda, nyana. Oko kufana nokuxelela uMnu. Rollins, Hei Saxophone Colossus! Yihlaziye kancinane kwi 'Tenor Madness.'
Ngesiqhelo, ngoku ndiye ndafumanisa ukuba uMnu.Rollins urekhode ingqokelela yengoma, into ebendingayazi ngokunyanisekileyo ngaphambi kokwenza uthelekiso. Iyavakala le nto. Ukurekhodwa kwasekuqaleni kuka Mnu. Wonder kuluhlobo lokujika okufumaneka kwii-albhamu ezaziwa kakhulu zejazz ezabhalwa nguMnu Rollins. Kwaye ngaphandle kobude bayo kunye nobunye ubuchule bemveliso yango-1970, Ngaba akayithandi izandi ezifana ne-jazz-pop pop enolwazi epapasha ukurekhodwa kweMotown yango-1960, kanye phantsi kwintambula. UStevie udlala phantse yonke into ekwingoma, nkqu neebhasi ezosulelayo ezidlalwa kwis synth.
Ingoma ayiqinisekanga kwaye iyangqina ngokoqobo ngobomi. Ngaphezulu kokurekhodwa kwasekhaya kwintombazana yakhe, u-Aisha-ngoku ovela kumdlalo naye kunye nokuzalwa kwengoma leyo-uMnu. I-Wonder's harmonica ithatha inqwelo moya yenye yezona miboniso zibalaseleyo ekuphuculeni irekhodi. Asikokuzihlaziya wedwa; Ibinzana ngalinye alilibaleki. Umjikelo ngamnye wokubamba utyhila iingoma ezintsha zoqobo. Ndiyakwazi ukubetha umlozi okanye ndiyidumise yonke loo nto, nditsho ezantsi kwiflub yakhe (malunga ne-4: 40) kakhulu kukothuka kwabantwana bam kukukhwela iimoto ezinde. Kodwa zimbalwa iingoma ezinokukwenza uzive kamnandi njengale. Ukuba ukholelwa ngenye indlela, unentliziyo yamalahle, mhlobo wam.
Njengoko
I-albhamu efanelekileyo igqibezela ngezinye iingoma ezimbini zesiLatin, njenge, kunye nesiphelo esihle, enye inkwenkwezi. Kule yokugqibela, uMnu.Wonder ekugqibeleni uyayivuma isingqi somgangatho esine-phantsi kunye nezandi ezimenyezelayo zomculo we-disco owawusenzeka ngelo xesha. Kukuzilolonga okumnandi, kunye neqela elikhulu labadlali be-A-plus abanjengoGeorge Benson. Kodwa kubaphulaphuli abaninzi, njengoko kufanele ukubalwa njengenye ye-ukuba akunjalo i— Ingoma egqwesileyo kwi-albhamu kwaye andifuni ukungavumelani.
Njengomnye otyibilika ngokungathi kungena impepho epholileyo yasehlotyeni kodwa agqibe ukusisebenza ngenqindi elinzima leemvakalelo. Ukujika kwe-jazzy phakathi kweevesi kuvelisa ngokufutshane ikwayala yegospile, into efuzisela nje ivamp iphela ingoma. Okwangoku, uMnumzana Wonder ucula kwakhona esinye isishwankathelo sexesha, amaxesha kunye namandla obomi: Kanye njengokuba intiyo iyalwazi uthando yonyango / Ungayiphumlisa ingqondo yakho uqiniseke / Ndiyakuhlala ndikuthanda.
Kodwa kwakhona yindawo apho uStevie akhanya khona, umxube wesamba kunye nevangeli, ezandleni zikaStevie, ngokungathandabuzekiyo yendalo. Ye kunjalo ungadibanisa yonke loo shit! Emva kwemizuzu engama-24 yokuphumla kwebar, uMnumzana Wonder uphinda angene kwingoma enesandi, njengoko uSly Stone enokuthi, kuvakala ngathi nguBig Bad Steve, hayi uStevie Wonder omncinci, kunye nelona xesha likhulu lealbhamu:
Sonke siyazi ngamanye amaxesha inzondo kunye neengxaki zobomi
Ngaba unokukwenza unqwenele ukuba uzalelwe kwelinye ixesha kunye nendawo
Kodwa ungabheja amaxesha akho obomi kwaye uwaphindaphinde kabini
Ukuba uThixo wayesazi kakuhle ukuba ufuna ubekwe phi
Ke qiniseka xa usithi ukuyo kodwa hayi ngayo
Wena ' Asincedi ukwenza lo mhlaba ube yindawo ekuthiwa sisihogo ngamanye amaxesha
Guqula amagama akho abe yinyaniso emva koko uyitshintshe loo nyani ukuba ibe luthando
Kwaye mhlawumbi abazukulwana babantwana bethu kunye nabazukulwana babo abakhulu.
Nguwo umyalezo we-albhamu wokuthatha. Kuwo onke la mashumi eminyaka, andikaze ndiyimamele ngaphandle kokuziva iqhina elifanayo lokuphefumlelwa, i-catharsis kunye ne-euphoria, kufutshane nenkolelo ethile engacacanga yokuba ndiphiliswe bubuthixo njengokuba ndisiza.
Umnumzana Wonder uphelisa iseti ngokukhanya okuKhanyayo yenye inkwenkwezi, kodwa kum, le yincopho kunye nokugqitywa kwecwecwe. Eminye yintlango emnandi.
Amehlo Ebony
Kwenye indawo ecaleni komgca, ingqokelela yam yobuntwana yama-45 yanyamalala. Phakathi kwazo kwakukho ii-intshi ezingama-7 ze-EP eyongezelelweyo kwi-EP Iingoma kwiKhiye yoBomi icwecwe. Yaphula intliziyo yam ukuba andifumananga irekhodi. Phakathi kweengoma ezine kwi-EP yenye yeentando zam ze-eclectic zephakeji iphela, ingoma Ebony Eyes.
Kubonakala ngathi bambalwa abantu abayithandayo i-albhamu abayaziyo le ngoma. Ndicinga ngeentsuku ezikwi-vinyl, i-EP yenziwa njengoko, kwaye yaba yinto elandelayo. Ngaphantsi kweminyaka eyi-10 emva kokuba ndithenge i-albhamu, bendisekholejini, nangona kunjalo, kwaye sasihlala sichitha ubusuku bonke sijikeleza iidiski, sitshintshana njengee-DJs zamagumbi okulala. Umhlobo wam wayenekopi egqibeleleyo ngakumbi kunye nokuncinci kakhulu Iingoma kwiKhiye yoBomi kwaye ndaya kwangoko ndaya kwi-EP ndabeka inaliti phantsi kweNew Orleans kwangoko ipiyano funk yokulahla umkhondo, i-Ebony Eyes, ethi, ukusukela ngelo xesha, ibe yintloko phakathi kwethu ngoMgqibelo ebusuku.
Iitshaneli zikaStevie uNjingalwazi Longhair, ngaphezulu kwefuthe lika-Allen Toussaint kwingoma. Kodwa ngobuchule bakhe kwibhokisi yokuthetha, eyenza ukuba ii-synths zakhe, njengekatala ka-Peter Frampton, zibizwe njengabantu. Uthengisa ii-solos nge-ace saxophonist uJim Horn, kwaye kukho indawo yentsimbi evela ku-Flying Burrito Mzalwana, uPeter Sneaky Pete Kleinow, ngamnye kubo owayedlale kwiirekhodi yiRolling Stones, uGeorge Harrison kunye noluhlu olukhulu lwabanye.
Kwimuvi kaBarry Levinson yowe-1982, Isidlo sangokuhlwa, abalinganiswa babhekisa kumaxesha amahle, ukukhaba, kunye namantombazana ashushu njengoncumo. Ebony Eyes uncumo lomculo. Ungujongilanga wembewu yendalo / Intombazana efunyanwa ngamanye amadoda kuphela emaphupheni abo / Xa encumile kubonakala ngathi iinkwenkwezi zonke ziyazi / 'Yenza ukuba nganye nganye iqale ukukhanyisa isibhakabhaka.
Ndinkqonkqoza ezinyaweni zam
Andikwazi ukucinga ukuba ndingomnye wabo bantu barekhoda iingoma kumdlalo, ungaze ukhathalele umntu onje lo mfo, owarekhoda zonke iingoma kwiKhiye yoBomi ekwenzeni inzuzo eLos Angeles ngoDisemba 2013. Kwaye ndingakucaphukela ukuba ngumntu ohleli ngasemva kwakhe. Kodwa njengomntu ongakwazanga ukubhabha aye e-LA ukuya kungqina lo mboniso buqu, ndinombulelo ukuba umntu othile wawurekhoda.
Kodwa ngoku ndichulumancile kukuba uMnu.Wonder uthathe isigqibo sokutyelela kunye nalo mboniso. Intsebenzo yakhe yokugqibela endiye kuyo yayinamava amaninzi, njengoko wayezama nzulu kwikhathalogu yakhe. Kwaye ndilungiselela ukuphazamiseka ngokweemvakalelo kwakhona xa ndibona iiNgoma kwiKhiye yoBomi. Umculo ubukunye nam ubomi bam bokumamela kwaye, ngeliphandle, konke oku kuthatha iglasi enye yewayini ukuze ndilile. Kodwa kwividiyo yomdlalo we-LA, uza kubona uMnumzana Wonder ngokwakhe ephakama, kubonakala ngathi akakwazi ukucula i-chorus ye-Knock Me Off My Feet, njengoko isihlwele sithatha indawo engama-49-50.
Yintoni ebangela ukuba la maxesha omculo asebenze kangaka? Ukuba besinokuyicacisa, ngaba besingawudinga umculo? Ngumculo ngokwawo ogqitha kula magama kuphela anokuwuchaza. Kukho ukukhanya okufudumeleyo kwe-nostalgia, kungekuphela kwento yokuba wonke umntu kubaphulaphuli kunokwenzeka ukuba ukhulele kwi-albhamu, kodwa kwizikhetho ngokwazo. Kukho ukuqhelana notshintsho oluye luye kwi-Cherie Amour nangaphaya, nge-bossa nova, jazz, kwaye kanye emva kwimigangatho yowe-1940. Ngaphezulu kwezi ndawo zepiyano zifudumeleyo-zombane kunye ne-acoustic-uStevie uthatha uncuthu lwengoma kwivesi elula, ayise kwisandi secor-pre-chorus esinezinyathelo ezinyukayo nezinyukayo (ezibonakaliswe ngokoqobo ngezinyuko ezikwincwadana yeengoma), ukuya Ukunyuka kwekorasi. Kwaye kusiwa kwindiza ephezulu nangakumbi kunye nokuguqulwa kwesitshixo (malunga ne-2: 40) kwikhorasi yokugqibela.
Uxinzelelo, ukukhululwa kunye nokugcwala. Yifom ayiphindaphindayo kwirekhodi eneziphumo ezifanayo, ezinje ngovuyo lwangaphakathi lweeNyembezi Zam, oluhluza is synth ye-surreal kwaye luzise uStevie kwezona zinto zinamandla zokuthetha kususela oko uMalume uRay Charles. Enye yezinto endizisola ngayo ebomini ayizukubona uRay Charles xa wayesenathi. Kuya kufuneka wenze yonke imizamo yokuya kubona ezinkulu. UStevie Wonder yenye yezigebenga. Akenzi rhoqo. Ndizakubakhona kulonyaka.
UBill Janovitz ngumbhali weencwadi ezimbini kwiRolling Stones, kubandakanya Iingxondorha: Iingoma ezingama-50 eziBalisa iBali lamaTye okuQengqeleka kwaye Ukugxothwa kwamatye e-Rolling Stones kwisitalato esikhulu .
