Without You

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Without You" is a song originally recorded by Badfinger for their album No Dice (1970), and written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans and produced by Geoff Emerick. Its verse was composed by Ham, originally titled "If It's Love", but had lacked a strong chorus. Evans had written a chorus without a strong verse, so the duo fused the two sections together. The protagonist of this ballad lets a lover know that they "can't live if living is without you". Badfinger's recording of the song, which is more brusque than its successors' versions, languished as an obscure album track until it was noticed a year later by Harry Nilsson. In an ironic twist to the lyrics, both composers later committed suicide.

"Without You" became a hit single after being covered by Nilsson for his album Nilsson Schmilsson in 1971 (see 1971 in music); it stayed at number-one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks, from February 13 to March 11, 1972. It replaced "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green, and was replaced by Neil Young's "Heart of Gold". The song has been covered by several other artists, including:

Shirley Bassey, for the album And I Love You So released in August 1972 (see 1972 in music);
Cilla Black for her January 1973 record, Day By Day With Cilla;
the rock band Heart, for the album Magazine released in April 1978 (see 1978 in music);
the band Air Supply, for the album The Earth Is... released in 1991 (see 1991 in music);
Mariah Carey, for the album Music Box released in 1993 (see 1993 in music);
Jade Kwan, for the album Jade-2 Special Edition released in January 2003 (see 2003 in music);
Clay Aiken, for the album A Thousand Different Ways released in September 2006 (see 2006 in music);
the operatic pop band Il Divo, for the album Siempre released in November 2006 (see 2006 in music) This version was covered in Spanish under the title of "Desde el dia que te fuiste" (From the day you went way);
Tito Nieves : salsa version (another salsa version is done by Orquesta Corinto)
Klasse Aparte (Sin ti, merengue 1996)
Natalia (Natalia Druyts), for the album This Time released in 2003

Mariah Carey co-produced her cover of the song with Walter Afanasieff, and the production is based on Harry Nilsson's version, making one of Mariah's most soft rock-styled productions. It was released as the album's third single in the first quarter of 1994 (see 1994 in music), and in the United States it was released on January 24, 1994, just over a week after Nilsson had died of heart failure. In the U.S. it was promoted as a double A-side with "Never Forget You" and reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100, remaining in the top forty for twenty-one weeks. Both radio airplay and sales were strong, and it was certified gold by the RIAA. It was ranked sixteenth on the Hot 100 1994 year-end charts.

"Without You" was Carey's biggest hit outside the U.S. (until "We Belong Together") and was largely successful across Europe. It became her first UK number-one single, and still remains her only number one there as a solo artist. It stayed at number one for four weeks and became her third number-one single in Brazil. It was also her first chart-topper in Italy, but was most successful in Switzerland (with ten non-consecutive weeks at number one) and the Netherlands (twelve weeks). It also topped the singles chart in Germany for four weeks and Austria for eight weeks, where Carey's success had previously been limited. It was able to make the top three in Canada, France, Norway and Australia. "Without You" was later included on some non-U.S. pressings of her compilation album #1's (1998).

The single's video, directed by Larry Jordan, is derived from Carey's 1993 concert at Proctor Theatre. In addition to "Never Forget You", the UK CD single for "Without You" included a live recording of "Dreamlover" (1993).

玛丽亚.凯莉砸钱宠老公 2亿美元身家恐被败光


“花蝴蝶”玛丽亚凯莉(Mariah Carey)日前与相识不到一个月、小她11岁的男星尼克坎农闪婚，身家多达2亿2600万美元的玛丽亚凯莉被指豪气砸钱宠老公，百万名车、钻表、名牌包样样买给他，美国媒体揶揄，坎农简直就像中了“超级乐透”一样幸运。

据台湾媒体报道，玛丽亚凯莉被“福布斯”杂志列为娱乐圈第6大富婆，虽然她与坎农签署婚前协议，但友人担心她的亿万家产迟早被坎农败光。凯莉友人爆料：“玛丽亚戴的250万美元结婚钻戒是她自己埋单，她老公根本没那个财力。”

又有美媒爆料，27岁的坎农原来只是小牌明星，娶了玛丽亚凯莉后，出手变得很阔绰，手戴钻戒和钻表，搭名车、拎LV包包。

日前坎农看上一辆价值12万美元 Quattroporte 轿车，后来又去试开法拉利跑车，消息人士说：“他已经有6辆车，但能花玛丽亚的钱让他爽呆了。”

不过，“花蝴蝶”也被讽，10年才找到爱情的第二春，自然对小老公宠爱无度。

剛于四月底與NickCannon 秘密結婚的天后瑪莉亞‧凱莉，居然被踢爆背夫“偷食”！她大前日到夏威夷拍攝新曲MV，搭上MV拍檔T.I.，飛到當地探班的Nick一直被蒙在鼓里。

瑪莉亞‧凱莉似乎對美國饒舌歌手情有獨鐘，老公Nick與MV拍檔T.I.同為饒舌歌手！瑪莉亞跟老公Nick早前因《ByeBye》MV而搭上直到結婚，這次又搭上T.I.。據在場的工作人員透露，瑪莉亞與T.I.在夏威夷小島為大碟《E=MC2》中的歌曲《I’llBeLovin’ULongTime》拍攝MV期間，突然人間蒸發兩小時：“他們好神秘地消失了差不多兩個鐘……當他們返回的時候，有說有笑。人人都看得到他們之間磨出了火花。”其實T.I.與女子組合Xscape前成員兼未婚妻Tameka “Tiny”Cottle已育有兩名子女，名副其實齊齊偷食！

可憐的Nick被拍到于大前日飛抵夏威夷的檀香山準備探班，還在出發去小島前到多間名店選購禮物送給老婆做驚喜。有指他手上拿著一個裝有禮物的啡色紙袋離開名店，可謂十分體貼，可惜瑪莉亞對Nick的心意並不領情，背著他向T.I.主動出擊。

而瑪莉亞在拍攝MV現場大秀身材，穿上黑色性感比基尼，還電了一頭曲發，新造型非常野性，難怪成功俘虜已有未婚妻的T.I.。她早前在日本宣傳大碟時，曾向香港傳媒透露將秘密拍攝新MV，亦會加入新元素，讓觀眾看得開心。
