2004 was a turbulent year for the American music scene. Not that last year's Grammys were criticized for "pop but no music," or that the merger of Sony Bertelsmann Records led to changes in the music market, or that Britney Spears was married twice, drinking and smoking. , let alone the wonderful duel between Evan Bell and Usher. Rather, it means that both music masters entered the end of their lives, Ray Charles and Luther van der Russ.

Ray Charles himself, he created R&B music, although he was blind, this had no influence on his musical talent. He was one of the first people to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and "Rolling Stone" listed him as the tenth of the hundred greatest entertainers. He is a legendary figure in the history of American music, even Think of him as the dean of black music festivals. Like Elvis and the Beatles, he has influenced a whole generation of musicians. And the legend passed away in June 2004.

Luther van der Russ, a famous rhythm and blues and soul music singer, was once known as the three giants of rhythm and blues together with Steve Wanda and Michael Jackson in the 1980s. It can be seen that his influence has become a singer. The total sales of his personal records exceeded 25 million copies. In his more than 20 years of singing career, his live performances have been called imitation classics. △ He is the representative of black singers. Influence. Last year, he set another career high for "Dancing With My Father (. by winning four Grammys, including Song of the Year. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend the awards ceremony because of a serious illness. And now a year later, Luther van der Russ's condition has not improved at all, but has become more and more serious, which is worrying.

Although it is said that what the music industry needs most is the addition of fresh blood, because only new people join. to keep the music industry alive. But the old group of artists has always been the irreplaceable mainstay in the music industry, because their influence on the music industry is immeasurable. How many people fell in love with rock and roll because of the Beatles, how many people began to learn spacewalking because of Michael Jackson, and how many people were convinced by the music of Elvis, these irreplaceable characters in the long river of music, created classics Even today, many years later, it is still a classic.

The passing of Ray Charles is deeply saddened. Tonight's Grammys featured Alicia Keys and Jamie Foxx, who played Ray Charles in Ray Charles' autobiographical film "The King of Souls." And in order to pay tribute to Luther van der Russ lying on the hospital bed, Evan Bell prepared the next performance.

"To Luther van der Russ, to Ray Charles, to those who left the world in the tsunami, 'Dancing with the Father' to all of you. Thank you." Evan Bell waited for the applause to subside and continued. . No one expected that Evan Bell actually prepared this surprise, which was obviously one of the most moving parts of the evening.

Luther van der Russ wrote the song "Dancing with the Father" when he was in his fifties as a memorial to his father. Luther van der Russ created this song based on his own real experience, the memory of a seven-year-old child, a little sadness, but more of those distant and warm details, pouring out his deep nostalgia for his father through the melody . The elegant piano accompaniment will fully reveal the father's love.

For his father, whether it is in the last life or this life, Evan Bell has missed it. If you want to say that he misses his father, Evan Bell really doesn't have much memory to reminisce. He will never be able to feel the severe and doting emotion between father and son. Therefore, the song "Dancing with the Father" doesn't really resonate much for Evan Bell.

But Evan Bell still chose the song. Because Evan Bell has very deep memories of his mother. Catherine Bell is more than just his mother to Evan Bell. Also his father. Evan Bell uses his eyes of two generations. Watching Catherine Bell take on the whole family with her immature shoulders, watching Katherine Bell go from timid to brave and confident. She used her shoulders and hands to hold up a piece of the sky for the Bell brothers.

In addition, the tsunami in the Indian Ocean at the end of 2004, the current number of casualties has exceeded 150,000, this song is also the medium for Evan Bell to express his regret. May those souls who leave the world rest in peace.

"When I was young, innocent and ignorant, my father would hold me high and dance with my mother and me. Then, hold me in circles until I fell asleep. My father would carry me upstairs. I knew my father loved me deeply If I had another chance to walk with my father and dance with my father, I would play a piece that never ends. How I want to dance with my father again."

This time, Evan Bell did not use the piano according to the original song, but played with the acoustic guitar in his hand. Unlike the cold and sadness of the piano, the strings of the acoustic guitar were more fresh, with a free and unrestrained style similar to that of a bard. But the chord sound that dissipates in the wind hides the sadness even deeper. With a smile on his face and tears in his eyes, the inner tumbling came so strongly.

"When I didn't want to listen to my mother, I would run to my father, and he would find a way to make me laugh and comfort me. But in the end let me do what my mother said. That night when I slept, he Put a dollar under my sheets. Never thought my dad would leave me. If I could just look at my dad again, take one dance step, and do one last dance with my dad, I'd play a song that never ends Song. Because how much I want to dance with my father again."

There is no gorgeous color scheme, no gorgeous accompaniment, no deliberate rendering, everything seems to be a bland narrative poem, flowing out of Evan Bell's guitar strings that tinkle like spring water. Plain, simple, and true, the expression of emotions that return to the basics will not make people collapse, and will not make people realize it, but it will make people smile knowingly and taste the taste in their hearts carefully, only oneself knows.

"Sometimes I'll be outside my mother's door and hear her cries missing her father. I pray for my mother, I pray for my mother. I know I'm asking too much. But can you send back the only man she loves so much. ? I know you don't normally do that, but my lord, how much she wants to dance with her father again. Every night after falling asleep, the same dream recurs..."

When Evan Bell sang to the last part of the song, the timeless and beautiful emotion was conveyed between the lines, which was very moving. Unlike the song "So Beautiful (u'ful just now, it is the most sincere love. I don't regret missing it, it's just an appreciation for beautiful things; and this song is the most sincere family affection, the miss for my father, my heartache for my mother, and the nostalgia for the lost time, enough to move everyone.

When Luther van der Russ performed the song. Just like a gentleman with eyes full of kindness, he spoke slowly; but when Evan Bell performed this song, he was more like a poet, using the strings in his hands and his moving voice to turn it into a poem. Pen and paper, record this simplest emotion and pass it to the heart of each "recipient".

Music is great. It is because it can cross nationalities, cross races, cross cultures, cross languages, and cross everything, and convey the purest emotions in the heart. Obviously, the purity of the song "Dancing with the Father" did this, and Evan Bell's performance made this feeling even better.

After Evan Bell finished singing, he threw the acoustic guitar on his back, walked to the side of the microphone stand, and bowed to the audience for the curtain call. Then he picked up the microphone stand and walked to the left side of the stage. at this time. The audience reacted and the performance was over.

The applause of "Papa Papa" went from low to high ☆ and then filled the entire Staples Center. The thunderous applause was not mixed with any cheers and screams, because everyone's hearts were rolling, and they were still fine. Savor the feeling just now, just touch the sound with both hands to convey the inner excitement, joy, and moving.

Amidst the applause, Evan Bell walked off the stage. Today, Evan Bell gave a performance in the simplest way, without the band accompaniment of the extrajudicial fanatics, without the background embellishment of the dancers, and without the sound enhancement of sound effects. A guitar, performance ♀ is the most original performance, but it will not be less exciting because of the simplicity of its equipment. On the contrary, the simplest way can express the richest emotions in the heart in the most transparent way. Evan Bell used his voice to show everyone that the power of music is not complicated.
