與Elvis Costello、Graham Parker等人挑戰龐克風潮,成功將新浪潮樂種帶入美國的三巨頭之一 珍藏1979-1989年間暢銷曲:英#13+美#21一鳴驚人作<Is She Really Going Out With Him?>、創下英國金榜#5最高商業記錄的<It's Different For Girls>、雙入英美#6轟動代表<Steppin' Out>、首度入座美國現代搖滾榜#4的<Nineteen Forever>…等多達37首回味佳曲 與Elvis Costello、Graham Parker等人挑戰龐克風潮,並成功將新浪潮樂種帶入美國的三巨頭之一Joe Jackson,曲風更是橫跨流行、爵士、古典界,1979-2001年間曾贏得五次葛萊美獎的提名肯定。 來自英國本名David Ian Jackson的Joe Jackson,從小學會小提琴、鋼琴等技藝,16歲便開始在當地酒吧中演出,才華洋溢的音樂基礎天份,讓Joe獲取獎學金資格進入倫敦皇家音樂學院就讀,但是對過於嚴肅的古典理論完全不感興趣,逃開束縛的一頭鑽進流行/搖滾領域。Joe的第一個樂團Edward Bear,在70年代中期締造<Last Song>暢銷曲,為了不和加拿大相似團名的隊伍相混淆而改成Arms And Legs,不過就在兩首不賣座的單曲發行後,樂團也宣告解散,選以這期間所用的綽號Joe當藝名而正式單飛。接著利用在餐廳/夜總會表演所賺取的錢錄製DEMO,1978年終於和A&M Records簽下唱片合約,順利於隔年問市首張專輯《Look Sharp!》。最為成功的《Night And Day》,更打入美國本土的佔據Top4,英國則是季軍佳績,和牙買加藝人Lincoln Thompson合作跨界雷鬼作品堪稱一大突破。在賣座電影「Pretty In Pink粉紅佳人」中與創作才女Suzanne Vega合作<Left Of Centre>,引起廣泛好評。 這張珍藏1979-1989年間於A&M Records旗下發行的暢銷作品一次搜齊,更是Joe最為風光的巔峰歲月。包括:一鳴驚人打入英國Top13+美國Top21的<Is She Really Going Out With Him?>,覆蓋流行吉他音色,討喜的聲線很快引起樂迷強力支持,另加值收錄A Capella Version版本;充滿雷鬼調調的<Fools In Love>;創下英國金榜Top5最高商業記錄的<It's Different For Girls>;翻唱Jazz/Swing創作才子Cab Calloway的百萬賣座之<Jumpin' Jive>;1982年拱出最為轟動代表作<Steppin' Out>,包覆當時新潮New Wave音符快意躍入全美流行榜Top6+主流搖滾榜Top7+英國金榜Top6+德國Top28;同年再接再厲主攻動人小品<Breaking Us In Two>,也摘下美國Top18名次;輕快熱鬧依舊的<You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)>,寫下美國最後一支流行排行Top15;第一次入座美國現代搖滾榜Top4的<Nineteen Forever>…等多達37支回味佳曲。 資料來源:環球音樂 |
