gallery_306803_1278_3819

Frankie J是一名歌手兼词典作者,他有着一般R&B歌手所没有的独特背景,他出生在墨西哥的提华纳,在美国圣迭戈长大,作为一个自由风格拉丁歌手签约,以前曾是拉丁流行音乐组合A.B. Quintanilla y Los Kumbia Kings的成员。
他在两岁时随父母一起来到美国圣迭戈,从小一直说西班牙语,受到cumbias、rancheras(墨西哥传统民俗音乐)和bandas(侧重铜管乐器的墨西哥舞曲)等音乐的熏陶,在转向R&B之前,他还听Rap和都市流行音乐。受到家人的鼓励,他在中学就开始唱歌,参加各种才艺表演和比赛。15岁时,他作为自由风格的拉丁歌手和加拿大一家小唱片公司签约,录制了几首歌。1977年,他转向一家大一点的唱片公司签了约,不幸的是他的专辑还没来得及发行,这家公司就倒闭了。
1999年,拉丁流行音乐组合A.B. Quintanilla y Los Kumbia Kings发现了他,他在这个组合中待了三年半,和别人一起担任主唱,并为这个组合写了几首R&B风格的歌。2003年年初,一直想独立发展的Frankie J离开了这个组合,走进了录音棚。当年他的首张专辑R&B风格的《What's A Man To Do》发行,并登上了专辑排行榜,其中的“Don't Wanna Try”也成了热门上榜单曲。不久,他又发行了以自己名字命名的西班牙语LP专辑,向世人展示了他多元文化的一面。



Don't Want To Try - Frankie J

i can’t believe u had the nerve to say the things u said
they hurt so bad that they ended our relationship
i can’t believe it ..4 years go down the drain
oh how i wish things would of happened so differently
i try’d to save it so many times but you still couldn’t see
u kept insistin’ and resistin’ that u would not fall again
and now u tryin’ to tell me that ur sorry
and ur tryin’ to come back home
ur tellin’ me u really need me crying beggin both knees are on the floor
but baby i

don’t wanna try don’t wanna try don’t wanna try no more
u keep insisting when u know our love is out the door
don’t wanna try don’t wanna try cuz all we do is fight and say the things
i hurt u bad to when we both begin to cry
don’t wanna try don’t wanna try i ’bout just had enough its been a rough road
baby just let it go
don’t wanna try don’t wanna try don’t wanna try no more
tell me whats the use of holdin’ on when all we do is hurt our love

u and i had many conversations on the telephone
talks about one day we having a place of our own
wake up in the morning and have breakfast ready on the table
but all of that just seems so far away from me
had to wake up face reality
it all just seem to good to be true after all you put me through
and now u tryin’ to tell me that ur sorry
and u tryin’ to come back home
u tellin’ me that u really need me crying beggin both knees are on the floor
but baby i

(don’t wanna try don’t wanna try)
(don’t wanna try no more)
(don’t wanna try don’t wanna try..oo)
(don’t wanna try don’t wanna try)
(don’t wanna try no more)
(don’t wanna try dont wanna try don’t wanna try no more ooo)
