The Ink Spots - Address Unknown (Subtitulada en español)

Показать описание
The Ink Spots were a popular vocal group in the 1930s and 1940s that helped define the musical genre that led to rhythm and blues and rock and roll, and the subgenre doo-wop. They and the Mills Brothers, another black vocal group of the same period, gained much acceptance in the white community.
Their songs usually began with a guitar riff, followed by the tenor, who sang the whole song through. After the tenor finished singing, the bass would either recite the first half, or the bridge of the song, or would speak the words, almost in a free form, that were not part of the song, commonly using the words "Honey Child", or "Honey Babe", expressing his love for his darling in the song. This was followed by the tenor, who finished up singing the last refrain or the last half of the song.
Lyrics:
Address Unknown -
not even a trace of you.
Oh what I’d give to see the face of you.
I was a fool to stay away from you so long.
I should have known there’d come a day
when you’d be gone.
Address Unknown - oh how could I be so blind?
Who’d think that you
would never be hard to find?
From the place of your birth
to the ends of the earth
I’ve searched only to find -
only to find -
Address Unknown.
(Spoken:)
Address Unknown - honey chile,
I ain’t even got a trace of ya.
You know one thing?
I’d give anything in the world
just to see the face of ya.
I was a fool to stay away from you
and everything else so long.
I should have been diplomatic
and figured that some day
You’d be solid gone.
Address Unknown -
oh how could I be so blind?
Who’d think that you
would never be hard to find?
From the place of your birth
to the ends of the earth
I’ve searched only to find -
only to find -
Address Unknown.
