SIDESHOW - BLUE MAGIC - (1974)
Показать описание
BLUE MAGIC is an American R&B/soul music group and one of the most popular Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s. Founded in 1972, the group's original members included lead singer Ted Mills with Vernon Sawyer, Wendell Sawyer, Keith Beaton, and Richard Pratt. Their most notable songs included smooth soul ballads such as "Sideshow", "Spell", "What's Come Over Me", "Three Ring Circus" and "Stop to Start."
Origins
Blue Magic was formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1972 when former member of The Delfonics Randy Cain brought in singer-songwriter Ted Mills to do some writing with the Philly-based WMOT production company to create a new band. A short time later the group Shades of Love, featuring Keith Beaton, Richard Pratt, Vernon Sawyer and his brother Wendell, came in to audition. (According to Marc Taylor in his book 'A Touch of Classic Soul of the Early 1970s', "although the group performed admirably, they lacked a standout lead singer".) The execs decided to replace the Toppicks, the act Mills recorded with. They inserted Shades of Love (which they owned contractually) with Ted Mills and retitled the group Blue Magic. They were signed with Atco Records through WMOT in the same year.
Recording, early singles, and their first album
The group was one of the earliest acts produced by Norman Harris, a Philadelphia recording veteran. The group's harmonies were supported by the MFSB studio house band. Their first early song release in 1974 was "Spell" which went onto the Billboard R&B charts at number 30 (it was written and co-produced by Mills).
Their second release became their first Billboard US Top 10 hit single, "Sideshow". It was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in August 1974. It climbed to #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the R&B chart. A follow-up, "Three Ring Circus" also sold well, reaching #36 in the pop chart and #5 R&B. MFSB guitarist Bobby Eli wrote both "Sideshow" and "Three Ring Circus". Their debut self-titled album was released later in the year. Because their first three singles releases were slower songs, the group became known mostly for their ballads.
The 1980s, disbanding, regrouping in the 1990s
Background singer Richard Pratt left in the early 1980s. After singers Vernon and Wendell Sawyer left, the remaining two members Mills and Beaton hired two other singers and traveled to Los Angeles, California to record with Skip Scarborough and some members of the popular group Earth Wind & Fire on the album "Message from the Magic." In 1988, the original group got back together and had some renewed popularity in late 1989 with the album, "From Out of the Blue." In 1990, The Amsterdam News carried the story of Mills' near-fatal car accident. The other members of the group brought in new lead Rod Wayne (real name Roderick Bronaugh), who remained with the group until 2004. Bronaugh now teaches at Tennessee State University. After Rod Wayne, Wade Elliot and Leemy Walters, other leads. Ted Mills has reunited with Wendall Sawyer and Keith Beaton. Both Vernon Sawyer and Richard Pratt have their own groups. After surgery in 1996, Mills returned to the music scene as a solo act, recording an album for Casablanca Records that year entitled "This Magic Is Real", featuring the remake of "Tear It Down."
SIDESHOW - BLUE MAGIC - TRADUÇÃO
Espetáculo
Depressa, depressa, aproximem-se
Veja o espetáculo na cidade por apenas cinquenta centavos
Aperte o passo, corra, corra, antes do show começar, amigos
Fique na fila, pegue o seu bilhete, eu espero que você assista
Vai custar apenas cinquenta centavos para ver
O que a vida tem feito para aqueles como eu e você
Veja o homem com o coração partido, você vai ver que ele está triste, ele se magoa tanto (tanto, tanto)
Veja a garota que perdeu o único amor que ela já teve
Não existe show mais triste de se ver
Sem dúvida nenhuma é satisfação garantida
Então deixe o espetáculo começar
Depressa, depressa, se aproximem
Não se dê ao luxo de perder
É garantido que vai fazer você chorar
Deixe o espetáculo começar (corra, corra)
Corra, corra, se apresse
Não se dê ao luxo de perder
É garantido que vai fazer você chorar
Veja o homem que esteve chorando por um milhão de anos, tantas lágrimas (tantas lágrimas)
Veja a garota que tem coletado corações partidos para guardar de lembrança
É mais excitante do que uma banda de um homem só
O mais triste pequeno show em toda a terra
Então deixe o espetáculo começar
Depressa, depressa, se aproximem sse
Não se dê ao luxo de perder
É garantido fazer você chorar
