Shalamar – A Night To Remember

In de jaren 80 heb ik veel gedanst op disco, soul & funk. Eén van mijn favorieten was de Amerikaanse groep Shalamar, en dan vooral hun album Friends uit 1982. Daar stonden swingende nummers op als Don’t Try To Change Me, I Don’t Want To Be The Last To Know, I Can Make You Feel Good, Friends en A Night To Remember. Heerlijke dansmuziek met fantastische muzikanten (o.a. James Ingram) en drie geweldige solo-zangers: Jody Watley, Howard Hewett & Jeffrey Daniel. Dans je mee met de Songcatcher?

shalamar friends 1982A Night To Remember
When you love someone,
it’s natural not demanding.
And that’s one thing
I’m proud to say I’ve found in you.

I’m so glad we reached an understanding.
Now I know my heart is safe with you.
So my love to you baby I surrender.

Get ready tonight,
gonna make this a night to remember.
Get ready (Ooh baby tonight),
gonna make this a night to remember.

Celebrations in my heart cause we’re united.
And there’s nothing in this world
that could come between me and you.
We’re together and it keeps me so excited.
To think of what the power of love can do.
And I’m filled with a love that’s all so tender.

Get ready tonight,
gonna make this a night to remember.
Get ready (Baby) tonight (Darling),
gonna make this a night to remember.
Get ready (Darling) tonight (Baby),
gonna make this a night to remember.

Let’s make a toast to those
who’ve helped make this occasion.
They turn their back on love
and that’s what drove you straight to me.
To you I make a lasting dedication.
I’ll show you all the love that life can be.
And each day I live I know I will deliver.

Get ready tonight,
gonna make this a night to remember
