(33) Alan & Marilyn Bergman A Christmas Love Song |
Marilyn and Alan Bergman |
Alan(1925-)、Marilyn(1929-2022)のオシドリ夫婦で50年の作詞家コンビを続けてきました。 「華麗なる賭け」はスティーブ・マックウィーンの主演の映画でしたが、その主題歌ミッシェル・ルグラン作曲の邦題「風のささやき」、"The Windmills of Your Mind" はオスカーを獲得しました。この映画は1999年にリメイクされています。 それから、1973年のバーバラ・ストライザンドが歌ってオスカーをとった映画「追憶」の主題歌、"The Way We Were"はよく唄わせてもらいました。 |
そのほかにも10数曲がアカデミー賞にノミネートされました。 そんな数々の作品の中で、Johnny Mandelが作曲した"A Christmas Love Song"というクリスマスソングがあります。誰もが歌うクリスマスソングではないようです。マントラが素晴らしいサウンドを聞かせてくれますが、女性4人組のGoodiesがその前身であるThe Lureのころから大原江里子のアレンジで歌っています。 トニーベネットが自分のコンサートで「ジョニー・マンデール」とマンデルの名前を盛んに発していました。 |
そのジョニー・マンデルの「クリスマスラブソング」は1988年と新しい歌なのです。したがって、年寄りの多いスタンダードジャズの歌手たちには知らない人が多いというわけです。若い歌手はさらに知る由もありません。マントラのコーラスは抜群のサウンドですが、バーバラ・ストライザンドも迫力があります。ただし、音域の狭い人にはちょっときつい歌かもしれません。 |
Johnny Mandel(1925-2020) |
2020年現在、夫婦ともに90歳を超して健在でいます。頑張ってボブ・ホープ夫妻に見倣って100歳を迎えてほしいものです。 (2020/7/1) Marilyn
