Yvonne Elliman ♥️

[purplespacekitty]

every now and then, the spirit of angsty rock musicals possesses me and I descend into a cycle of listening to, watching, acting out, talking about and singing Jesus Christ Superstar for about 2 weeks straight. during this time period, the falsettos of Ted Neeley and Ian Gillan, masterful ad libs of Carl Anderson, sorrowful balladic notes of Yvonne Elliman and all those who came before and after them consume my every waking thought. I become compelled to listen to every version of “Heaven On Their Minds” and “Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say)” I can find, even the ones recorded with shitty iPhone cameras and mics. my voice goes hoarse singing along with Judas’ lament over blood money and Simon’s overenthusiastic powerpoint to Jesus about how great he is. I obsess over how cunty Judas’, Herod’s, Caiaphas’ and Pilate’s outfits are by production. I weep over the kiss of betrayal as Judas and Jesus are separated for the last time. I learn new stuff about the singers and productions every time.

I soak up the inevitable poetic tragedy of it all and then I go back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Yvonne Elliman (1951-) solo Songs: "If I Can't Have You," "I Don't Know How to Love Him" Propaganda: see visual

Big Mama Thornton (1926-1984) solo Songs: "Hound Dog," "Ball and Chain" Propaganda: "known for her swagger and larger-than-life presence, big mama thornton was a blues and r&b singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who was a key figure in the lineage of rock & roll. a self-taught musician, she started touring as a teenager and was quickly dubbed "the new bessie smith". to quote the rock & roll hall of fame: "Thornton’s live performances were legendary. Standing just as tall – if not towering over – the men with whom she shared the stage, Thornton not only sang harder than her male contemporaries, she reportedly also outperformed and outdrank them nightly." inspired by seeing her perform, songwriting duo jerry lieber and mike stoller wrote "hound dog" for her which became a hit, topping the r&b charts for seven weeks and selling over half a million copies (three years later it became an even bigger hit for some guy named elvis). she also wrote the song "ball and chain" which janis joplin covered and popularized in the 60s."

Lyrics:

Love me

Just a little bit longer

Love me

I remember times my love

When we really had it all

You were always there to make me smile

To help me when I fall

Ooo, I can't believe you're leaving me

When there's so much more to say

I can't let you go

Ooo, every time I look at you,

I still can feel the glow

Let it be, let it grow

[Chorus: ]

Ooo, love me, please

Just a little bit longer

Together, we can make it

Our love is much too young to break it

Oh all I ever wanted was

To have you to myself

Then I see you standing there

In the arms of someone else

Ooo, you know a girl can stand so much

And it's more than I can fake

I can't let you go

Ooo, every time I look at you

I still can feel the glow

Let it be, let it grow

Love me, please

Just a little bit harder

Never even tried to see things my way

It's hard on a woman

When love ain't no love at all

And when you walk away

From me baby you're gonna be sorry

I'm begging you please

Love me, please love me, love me

Just a little bit longer

Together we can make it

Our love is much too young to break it

Songwriter:

Love me, please just a little bit harder

Just a little bit harder (just a little bit harder)

Together we can make it

Our love is much too young to break it

Love me, please just a little bit longer

Galt Macdermott / John Guare
