前面说到B.B.King的琴叫Lucille。
而Little Richard有首歌也叫《Lucille》。
这两者有什么关系吗?

下面是《Lucille》歌词。
Lucille, won't you do your sister's will?
Oh, Lucille, won't you do your sister's will?
Well, you ran away and left, I love you still.

Lucille, please, come back where you belong.
Oh, Lucille, please, come back where you belong.
I been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone.

Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart.
Oh, Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart.
I slaved for you, baby, and gave you such a wonderful start.

I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight.
I asked her friends about her but all their lips were tight.
Lucille, please, come back where you belong.
I been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone


关于这首歌,有这样一些八卦:
·Originally, this was a ballad Richard wrote called "Directly From My Heart to You." He sped up the song and changed the woman's name from Queen Sonya (the name of a real Macon, Georgia, female impersonator whom Richard knew) to Lucille.
·This was released at a time when Richard was hot - he sold 32 million records in 1956 and 1957.
·The Everly Brothers matched Richard's #21 peak position with their version in 1960. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for above 3)
·B.B. King's guitar is named "Lucille."
·According to the movie Little Richard, which debuted on NBC in 2000, this song is about a breakup between a girl named "Lucille" and Little Richard. (thanks, Zeb - Charlotte, NC)


虽然八卦里提到了B.B.King的琴,但好象两者还是没什么关系。
