попался мне тут на глаза дисочек (давно его записал, но все как-то не послушать было) -
Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. много там всякого-интересного. вот, решил продолжить выкладывания ретро-исполнителей.
Sonny and Cher - I Got You Babe
итак, стартуем с дуэта тогда еще супругов Сонни и Шер... нечего и добавить!

[HER:] They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
[HIM:] Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
[HIM:] Babe
[BOTH:] I got you babe I got you babe
HER:] They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
[HIM:] I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
[HIM:] Babe
[BOTH:] I got you babe I got you bab
[HIM:] I got flowers in the spring I got you to wear my ring
[HER:] And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
[HER:] So let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
[HIM:] Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
[HIM:] Babe
[BOTH:] I got you babe I got you babe
[HIM:] I got you to hold my hand
[HER:] I got you to understand
[HIM:] I got you to walk with me
[HER:] I got you to talk with me
[HIM:] Igot you to kiss goodnight
[HER:] I got you to hold me tight
[HIM:] I got you, I won't let go
[HER:] I got you to love me so
[BOTH:] I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
Bill Withers - Ain't no Sunshine
песня, перепетая множеством людей, мне она больше известна в версии DMX (хотя последний изменил там текст).

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.
Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Box Top - The Letter
на счет этой группы ничего не могу сказать... толком мне неизвестна. просто у солиста выражение лица странное.

Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone
I'm going home, because my baby just wrote me a letter
I don't care how much money I’ve got to spend
I’ve got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone
I'm going home; my baby just wrote me a letter
(x2):
Well she wrote me a letter, said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister, can't you see I’ve got to get back to my baby once more?
Anyway, yeah, give me a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone
I'm going home, because my baby just wrote me a letter
My baby just wrote me a letter
