«A night to remember» fue uno de los clásicos de Shalamar, un grupo disco-funk norteamericano creado por el agente Dick Griffey y cuyos miembros eran Jody Watley, Jeffrey Daniel y Howard Hewett.
En 1982 publicaron el disco “Friends” (número 1 en las listas R&B), del que salieron los éxitos “I Can Make You Feel Good”, “There It Is”, “Friends” y el que nos ocupa la entrada “A night to remember”.
“A night to remember” es una canción melódica que llegó al puesto 8 de las listas R&B y al 44 de la lista estadounidense, aunque ha pasado a la posteridad como un clásico del género disco de este grupo.
Aquí está el hilarante vídeo (a día de hoy) donde vemos las cualidades de baile de Jeffrey Daniel, que me he enterado que incluso ya bailaba el “Moonwalk” antes que Michael Jackson.
Shalamar – A night to remember (letra)
When you love someone it’s natural, not demanding
And that’s one thing I’m proud to say I found in you
I’m so glad we reached an understanding
Now I know my heart is safe with you, hoo…
So now my love to you, baby, I surrender
Get ready tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (Oh, baby) tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember
Celebrations and my heart could stay united
And there’s nothing in this world to come between me and you
We’re together and it keeps me so excited
To think of what the power of love can do, ooh…
And I’m filled with a love that’s, oh, so tender
Get ready [Baby] tonight [Girl]
I’m gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready [Get ready] tonight
I’m gonna make this a night to remember
Make this a night to remember
Get ready tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready [Get ready] tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (Baby) tonight (Darlin’)
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (Darlin’) tonight (Baby)
Gonna make this a night to remember
This night you won’t forget
Gonna make this a night to remember
‘Cause your love I won’t regret
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready [Baby] tonight (Darlin’)
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready [It won’t be like the past] tonight (I will make it last)
Gonna make this a night to remember
Tonight
Make this a night to remember
Tonight
Make this a night to remember
Let’s make a toast to those who helped make this occasion
They turn their back on love and that’s what drove you straight to me
Now to you I make a lasting dedication
I’ll show you all that love and life can be, hoo…
And each day that I live I will deliver
Get ready (This night you won’t forget) tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (‘Cause your love I won’t regret) tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready [Baby] tonight (Darlin’)
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready [It won’t be like the past] tonight (I will make it last)
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready tonight
