Al Jarreau: Murphy's Law

Con una voz versatil y original, Al Jarreau se desenvuelve con soltura por la música y las décadas. Ha conseguido 6 Grammys en estilos tan diversos como el jazz, RnB o pop y en 4 décadas diferentes.
Los ochenta fueron su época dorada, con éxitos tanto en discos propios como en tv, muchos recordareís la famosa sintonía de la serie Luz de Luna (Moonlighting). Criticado por los más puristas del jazz por sus devaneos con la comercialidad, la realidad es que este virtuoso de la voz, nos ha deleitado con hermosas canciones como "All Or Nothing At All", "Mornin'" o "L Is For Ever". Pero, aparte de las más conocidas, tambien podemos encontrar temas llenos del encanto y simpatía como este tema de 1984 titulado "Murphy's Law", donde como siempre, conseguía unir eso tan dificil como es la originalidad, comercialidad y calidad.

Un 3x1 al alcance de todos los públicos.


Letra
It's too good
It's too right
So something must be wrong
It's a bubble
That's gonna break
Says Murphy's Law

I need you
I want you
Been alone too long
If it might miss
It's gonna miss
That's Murphy's Law

And the perfect fit just
Rubs my worry stone
But if it works don't fix it
Ya leave it alone

CHORUS:
'Cause you're the only luck I need
You make it go
You're the only luck I need
To make Murphy pass my door

We put something on baby
Didn't we, didn't we, didn't we, didn't we
It's so sweet
I repeat
That something must be wrong
If it might not
Then we must stop
And talk about it

It's a work of fiction
They call it a law
But the contradiction
Is we fooled 'em all

CHORUS:
You're the only luck I need...
...You're the only luck I need
You make Murphy tell and show
You're the only luck I need...
...You're the only luck I need
To make old Murphy pass my door

If it works don't fix it
The winner takes all
You know it's the Murphy fiction
That's due for a fall

CHORUS:
