Nobodys Child sung by Karen Young
Karen Young (March 23, 1951-January 26, 1991) was a disco singer best known for her hit "Hot Shot". Well-known for her ability to scat-sing and deliver vocals with ferocious energy, Young was also a gifted pianist and songwriter. Once again an icon of the disco-era is virtually ignored. And once again there is little to no information about someone that gave disco one of its most enduring hits. Best known for her 1978 international dancefloor hit "Hot Shot," Philadelphian Karen Young initially debuted in 1969 with a U.K. hit, "Nobodys Child." The disco era allowed her to resurface after a long hiatus, and she went on to record a number of disco and rock-oriented singles until the mid-80s, shortly before her untimely death. Her recordings for West End, Atlantic, Sunshine, Ariola, and Boardwalk Records are among some of discos most enduring classics. The content spans surefire disco, "Hot Shot," "Dynamite," and the saucy "Baby You Aint Nothin (Without Me)," bluesy ballads (a cover of Sam Cookes) "A Change Is Gonna Come," AOR "One Sure Way," and pop/rock "Deetour" and "Expressway To Your Heart." Her most consistent numbers are the dance ones, benefiting from Youngs peppy delivery and Walter Kahns clever production. The more rock-style entries suffer from arrangements lacking in direction in most cases, though "Expressway" is notable for its meshing of a bright, R&B horn arrangement and rock guitars. However, Youngs enthusiastic improv and heartfelt style are the strongest aspects throughout. Karens health problems plagued here throughout her career and in January of 1991 she succumbed to a ruptured stomach at the young age of 39. Her raspy, often growling voice is missed. But thanks to her million-selling hit "Hot Shot" she lives on in our hearts and ears! THANKS TO WILL P. CLARK FOR THIS GREAT INFORMATION & MP3 ========== NOBODYS CHILD Karen Young As I was slowly passing an orphans home one day And stopped there for a moment just to watch the children play Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry Im nobodys child, Im nobodys child Just like a flower Im growing wild No mommys kisses and no daddys smile Nobody wants me, Im nobodys child People come for children and take them for their own But they all seem to pass me and Im left here all alone I know theyd like to take me but when they see Im blind They always take some other child and I am left behind Im nobodys child, Im nobodys child Just like a flower Im growing wild No mommys kisses and no daddys smile Nobody wants me, Im nobodys child No mommys arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry Sometimes it gets so lonely, I wish that I could die Id walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see And just like all the other kids thered be a home for me Im nobodys child, Im nobodys child Just like a flower Im growing wild No mommys kisses and no daddys smile Nobody wants me, Im nobodys child Nobody wants me, Im nobodys child =========== PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR ORPHANS AND HELP THEM SOMEHOW IF YOU CAN ============
