Gordeeva & Grinkov 被称作“史上最完美的冰上搭档”,自1986年起,尽管狄米特里耶夫等强敌环伺,G&G在大大小小的比赛中却几乎从未败过,并成为惟一复出后又获得金牌的花滑选手。从搭档、世界冠军,到恋人、夫妻、初为父母,一路行来,成就一段传奇。The man I love是他们1995年的表演节目,节目正如歌词所述表达的是二人忠贞不渝的爱情,不幸的是同年11月28日,28岁的格林科夫在一次平常的练习中心脏病突发逝世,从此,留24岁的高蒂娃冰上独舞。
乔治·格什温(George Gershwin,1898–1937年),美国作曲家。以节奏感强的流行歌曲和古典音乐作品著称。他的很多作品都广为传唱,《爱人》(The Man I Love)、《妙不可言》('S Wonderful)、《有你相拥》(Embraceable You)、《我把住了节奏》(I Got Rhythm)是其中几首。他把爵士乐与古典音乐的元素相结合,创作了《蓝色狂想曲》(1924年)和歌剧《波吉与贝丝》(1935年)。
格什温生于纽约布鲁克林。曾在美国流行音乐大本营廷潘胡同(Tin Pan Alley)为一家出版商推销歌曲,从此开始自己的音乐生涯。1919年凭借一首《斯万尼》(Swanee)蜚声全国。他为多部音乐剧谱过曲,其中包括:《小姐,对我好点吧》(Lady Be Good)(1924年)、《奏起乐队》(Strike Up the Band )(首创于1927年,1930年作了修改)、《甜姐儿》(Funny Face)(1927年)和《疯姑娘》(Girl Crazy )(1930年)。
其它在音乐会演奏的作品有《F大调钢琴协奏曲》(1925年)和音诗《一个美国人在巴黎》(1928年)。此外还有歌曲《有人爱我》(Somebody Loves Me)、《迷人的节奏》、《他们不能从我这里拿走那个》(They Can't Take that Away from Me)、《我唯一的》(My One and Only)、《雾日》(A Foggy Day)。
"The Man I Love" is a popular standard, with music by George Gershwin and lyrics by his brother Ira. Originally part of the 1924 score for the Gershwin government satire Lady, Be Good as "The Girl I Love", the song was deleted from the show as well as from both the 1927 anti-war satire Strike Up the Band (where it first appeared as "The Man I Love") and 1928 Ziegfeld hit Rosalie after tryouts. As with many standards of the era, it has become more famous as an independent popular song than as one from a Broadway musical.
歌词
When the mellow moon begins to beam,
Ev'ry night I dream a little dream,
And of course Prince Charming is the theme,
The he for me.
Although I realize as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true,
For/To me it's clear
That he'll appear.
Some day he'll come along,
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong,
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay.
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand ;
And in a little while,
He'll take my hand ;
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not ;
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two,
From which I'll never roam,
Who would - would you ?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love
