I wanna be loved with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tight
I wanna be kissed until I tingle
I wanna be kissed starting tonight
Embrace until our heartbeats intermingle
Wrong or right
I feel like acting my age
I'm past the stage of merely turtledoving
(be careful, be careful what you do)
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a loving
I wanna be thrilled to desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
(love me, love me, love me)
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved
I feel like acting my age
I'm past the stage of merely turtledoving
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a loving
I wanna be thrilled to desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved
William Clarence Eckstine, noto come Billy Eckstine (1914-1993), è stato un influente cantante e leader di band jazz statunitense. Nato a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Eckstine iniziò la sua carriera musicale nei club locali prima di unirsi alla banda di Earl Hines nel 1939. La sua voce potente e melodiosa, combinata con una presenza scenica magnetica, lo resero rapidamente un favorito del pubblico. Nel 1940 fondò la propria band, che divenne uno dei gruppi jazz più popolari degli anni '40 e '50. Tra i suoi musicisti più noti figuravano Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker e Art Blakey. Eckstine fu un pioniere nel portare il jazz mainstream, influenzando generazioni di cantanti e artisti. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "Prisoner of Love", "I'm in the Mood for Love" e "My Foolish Heart".
