1.5 翻越崇山峻岭(一)
( 和Moonwalk确有很多重复之处)
1963年
迈克五岁时开始上Garnett小学。凯瑟琳说迈克的一个毛病就是太过慷慨。他甚至拿她梳妆柜里的珠宝送给老师作为纪念。甚至在妈妈因为他把家里财产送人而责骂他以后,他还会固执的继续送。
迈克印象中的第一次登台演出也是在五岁。那时候他代表班级唱音乐之声里的曲子“Climb Ev’ry Mountain”。孩子们都被他的天赋和自信深深折服。大家起立鼓掌。老师甚至开始呜咽。凯瑟琳和约瑟夫的父亲Samuel观看了那次演出,Samuel这样一个并不多愁善感的人,也被迈克美妙的歌声感动得落泪。谈到迈克在音乐方面的非凡造诣,凯瑟琳说:“我不知道他从哪继承的这种天赋。他唱的那么好,年纪又非常小。有些孩子是很特别的,迈克非常特别。”

这是1992年的电影“The JAcksons: An American Dream"中,饰演迈克的 Alex Burrall演唱的“Climb Evr'y mountain" , 这孩子唱得很不错, 可是和迈迈比起来,调子不够高,声音也没那么圆润.可以想象到咱们迈迈当年能唱得多好.

Climb every mountain, search high and low
Follow every by way, every path you know
Climb every mountain, ford
every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream
A dream that will need, all the love you can give
Everyday of your life, for as long as you live
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream

五岁的迈克有着无穷的能量和魅力,以至于当时12岁的Jackie决定他弟弟应该是乐队的“核心人物”。迈克当然同意, 他喜欢成为关注的焦点。然而,杰梅因却很受伤。以前他一直是乐队的主唱,突然之间他就没那么好了。有些家庭成员会觉得他小时候口吃是因为缺乏自信。可是杰梅因仍然支持了家里的决定,因为迈克是个天生的表演者。然而必须说明的是,杰梅因看上去一直在和迈克竞争,尤其是他们成年以后,他经常试图击败迈克。
“迈克是个很厉害的小小模仿家” 杰梅因回忆迈克说,“他确实能学到很多东西。当其他孩子或者James Brown跳舞的时候,接下来你就知道迈克已经记下来了还知道怎么跳。他也热爱跳舞。Marlon跳得很好,也许比迈克还要好,但是迈克更热爱。他总在房子里跳舞,你总能抓住他在镜子面前跳给自己看。他还会跑出去独自练习,然后回来秀给大家看新的舞步。我们把这些都加进表演中。迈克开始成为节目的编舞。”
“ 最后,终于到我们参加能手竞赛的时候了。” 迈克回忆说,“我对那次演出记忆犹新,仿佛一切都发生在昨天”
“附近的每个人都想要参加竞赛赢回冠军奖杯。” 那时侯我六岁,可是我已经知道天上不会掉馅饼。一切都要靠自己。或者就象Smokey Robinson说的‘ you got to earn it’.我们在Gary市罗斯福高中参加竞赛。我们唱了 The Temptations的‘my girl’ 并且赢得了第一名。”
男孩子们也表演了Robert Parker的热门歌曲‘Barefootin’(赤脚)。在歌曲中间的音乐部分,迈克甩掉鞋子,赤脚在舞台上跳舞,这让观众们欣喜若狂。

I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
I've got so much honey
The bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter songThan the birds in the trees.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Ooooh, Hoooo.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
I don't need no money,
Fortune or fame.
I've got all the riches, baby,
One man can claim.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Talkin' bout my girl.
I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl.
I've even got the month of MayWith my girl.

Robert Parker 原唱 barefootin' 1966
Everybody get on your feet,
You make me nervous when you in your seat
Take off your shoes and pat your feet,
We're doin a dance that can't be beat
We're barefootin', We're barefootin',
We're barefootin', We're barefootin',
Went to a party the other night,
Long Tall Sally was out of sight
Threw way her wig, and her high sneakers too,
She was doin a dance without any shoes
She was barefootin', She was barefootin',
She was barefootin', She was barefootin',
Hey little gal with the red dress on,
I bet you can barefoot all night long
Take off your shoes and throw them away,
Come back and get them another day
We're barefootin', We're barefootin',
We're barefootin', We're barefootin',
Musical interlude
Lil John Henry he said to Sue,
If I was barefootin' would you barefoot too
Sue told John, "I'm thirty two,
I was barefootin ever since I was two
They was barefootin', they was barefootin'
They was barefootin'', we barefootin'
We barefootin' we barefootin' |
