Embrace me
My sweet embraceable you

The charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa do
My sweet embraceable you

And above all
I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa do
(Come to papa)
My sweet embraceable you
My sweet embraceable you

TEARS FROM MY EYES.
DETROIT BLUES BAND
SONGWRITER: UB40
COUNTRY: U.S.A.
ALBUM: CAN’T GET YOU OFF
MY MIND
LABEL: BLUES FACTORY
RECORDS
GENRE: BLUES
YEAR: 1990
The
leader of this Blues band based in Detroit is a soulful vocalist with a great
sense of style and
nuance. His instrumental prowess on piano and saxophone is notable. The core of
the band includes Danny (Guitar), Wayne (Bass), Bubba (drums); uniformly superb
throughout. They are joined by sometime band-mates David
(saxophone) and Doug (piano, organ), and the late/great Jerry (guitar).
This
Blues band is a "musician's band". You can bet there'll be several prominent local
musicians in the audience wherever they perform. It's no fluke that musical
people love the band. It's all about payin' dues and performing with exacting
craft. And it's no wonder that several "A" List
musicians are guesting on the album including such icons as Sherm (trombone,
flute), Dave (harmonica), Mark (horns), and Jory (guitar).
Baby,
baby
How you feel about this being free?
Baby, baby
How you feel about being free?
I
don't know 'bout you, honey
But it sure is killin' me
I remember, baby
We were sayin' this can't go on
I remember, babe
Yeah, this can't go on
What was right then, honey
Now feels oh so wrong
That's
the stuff
You
don't miss your water
'Til your well run dry
You don't miss your water
'Til your well run dry
And
I could fill a well, girl
With the tears from my eyes

GENRE: BLUES
YEAR: 1999
Chris was born in Washington, DC,
and raised in Massachusetts on down-home cooking as well as on blues, jazz,
rhythm & blues, and gospel music by his New York City dad and North
Carolina mom. Before starting to play guitar at fourteen years old, he
studied in Germany, where his dad was a visiting professor of American and
African American Cultural Studies. Later, as an art and music major at the
University of Massachusetts, Chris participated in jazz workshops with Archie
Shepp and in a summer session at Berklee. He also studied guitar with
Tony MacAlpine. His major influences range from B.B. King
and Albert Collins to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Songwriter,
lead guitarist, and vocalist, Chris Bell, Silver Bridge Recording blues artist
from North Hollywood, California, is now on tour featuring his latest CD
release “Real Bluesman” with
his band, 100% Blues. They have also just recently released their live concert
DVD "Stage on Fire", filmed locally
in Tujunga, CA.
Chris
and his band "100% Blues" features Chuck Maithonis on bass and
backing vocals, Stephen "DJ Sticks" Marshall on drums, and Dan Pulos
on Hammond Organ. They
have been successfully touring the Western US, and regularly head out to the
East Coast every summer. They have received rave reviews of their latest album "Real Bluesman" in such
magazines as Blues Revue, Living Blues, Southland Blues, Big
City Rhythm & Blues, and more. Jim Santos of Southland Blues Magazine wrote
- "Bell comes up with a winner that will undoubtedly wind up among this
year's top ten blues albums."
Of
his previous album - “ ‘Hell Is Too Hot For Me’ is easily the best original
blues guitar album to inhabit my CD player this year,” writes the reviewer for
the Centre Daily Times, “maybe the best blues album period.”
Chris
Bell’s earlier two CDs, “Blues 2001” and “CHRIS BELL & 100% Blues: LIVE”
and his live performances of mostly original songs have received rave reviews.
“Mixing up the mood with catchy lyrics and some dark lowdown blues,” says the
reviewer for Southwest Blues, “Bell shows a flair for blues styles past
and present.” “Bell played guitar dirtier than dirt,” the Southland Blues reviewer
writes about Bell’s performance at the Irvine Lake Blues Festival. “His biggest
and coolest trait is his grit and grimy voice that is so distinctive it’s in a
class alone.” His single “Elevator to Heaven” was been among the top downloaded
songs on MP3 in 1999.
Nothing is heavy with you by my side,
Rocking listening when you hold me tight
Ready for takeoff, we're going high
It feels amazing looking in your eyes
Girl I just wanna hold you close and tell you the
secrets that nobody knows
When I'm with you it feels so right
I wanna tell you a thousand times
We can take the elevator, the escalator, the stairs
Baby to heaven
The elevator, the escalator, staring Baby to heaven
We're going up up up
Going up up up
Going up up up to heaven
We're going up up up
Going up up up
Going up up up to heaven
I'm counting the minutes till you come around
We don't have to many, can lose just one
I feel I'm missening holding you close
There's no pretending that comes to us
Girl I just wanna hold you close and tell you the
secrets that nobody knows
When I'm with you it feels so right
I wanna tell you a thousand times
We can take the elevator, the escalator, the stairs
Baby to heaven
The elevator, the escalator, staring Baby to heaven
We're going up up up
Going up up up
Going up up up to heaven
We're going up up up
Going up up up
Going up up up to heaven
Don't let go, Don't let go, Don't let go oh (x2)
Elevator ooh (escalator, staring baby)
Ooooh (elevator, the escalator, staring baby)
We can take the elevator, the escalator, staring Baby
to heaven
The elevator, the escalator, the stairs Baby to heaven
