经典老歌《It never rain in California Southen》
《It never rains in southern california(南加州从不下雨)》,此首作品是70年代的乡村民谣,曾横扫过全球流行乐界,他演唱者Albert Hammond(亚柏特.汉蒙),1942年生于英国伦敦,成长在直布罗陀。60年代中期,他和好友一起组建了Family Dogg乐队。1969年的首张专辑《A way of life》一推出就获得成功,更是产生多首上榜曲目,但不久后,Hammond就离开了乐队,独立发展自己的歌唱事业。1972年,单曲《It never rains in southern California》一发行就进入美国音乐榜前五,第二年初出版同名专辑。第二张专辑《the free electric band》也在这一年发行,词曲创作及吉他演奏全由他一手操办,“I'm a Train”是其中的上榜歌曲。在接下来的十几二十年中,Hammond保持着他多产的步伐前进,最终以他的词曲创作力闻名。在为自己创作的同时,他还为众多歌手写过歌,Leo Sayer 1977年的榜首歌曲“When I need you”、Diane Warren的热门曲目“Nothing's gonna stop us now”以及Chicago的“I don't wanna live without your love”都是出自他的手笔。Hammond的儿子Albert Hammond Jr.继承父业,以吉他手的身份在2000年初于Strokes乐队中初露锋芒。
记得去年央视热播的韩剧《人鱼小姐》中也用这首歌做的插曲。
