英语翻译
Eugene Wilde was another in a string of briefly successful male soul crooners in the mid-80s.While possessing a solid,appealing voice,Wilde was generally stuck (sometimes self-imposed) with uneven,fairly one dimensional material that prevented him from achieving the kind of sustained success that was expected after his quick rise to fame.
Born Ron Broomfield,Wilde grew up in Miami and sang in a family group for most of his teen years,working under various monikers such as Tight Connection,La Voyage and Simplicious,and achieving some modest regional success.
He later changed his name to Eugene Wilde and in 1984 was signed by the small Philly World Records label.By then he had developed into a photogenic young singer with a strong,expressive tenor voice.At Philly World,he provided backup vocals for his underrated labelmate Cashmere,but more importantly wrote and recorded what would be his first smash hit,"Gotta Get You Home Tonight." Incredibly,it shot to #1 on the Soul charts and took Wilde's eponymous debut album into the top 20,despite the general mediocrity of the disc.
Wilde immediately recorded a follow-up album,the better Serenade,and released the single "Don't Say No Tonight" in late 1985.While the song also went to #1,it was a virtual knock off of his first hit,and hinted that he may not have staying power as a singer/songwriter.Interestingly,the disc's second single,the piano ballad "Diana," was much stronger,and demonstrated a musical and vocal depth generally not otherwise found in his earlier material.The album also included the fine midtempo number,"There's No Way," and the catchy electronic dance cut,"30 Minutes to Talk," which became a minor hit.
Strangely,Wilde never had another hit.As Philly World folded and he moved to MCA,his career hit a dead end.He sang with the group Cabo Frio in 1987 before releasing his next LP,I Choose You (Tonight) in 1989,and three years later released How About Tonight.Unfortunately,his recording career ended before he could cut a disc that didn't have the word "Tonight" in it.
Wilde now runs the independent label Wilde City Records in Florida and is also working with his son,Du'Juan,who has released the single "Girl Let Me." In 2008,Wilde began working on his "comeback" album,entitled Compositions.He released a limited number of copies but is currently developing it further for full release,hopefully in 2011.In the meantime,he has provided guest vocals on the new Cool Million album,Back for More (listen to video below).

Eugene Wilde was another in a string of briefly successful male soul crooners in the mid-80s.While possessing a solid,appealing voice,Wilde was generally stuck (sometimes self-imposed) with uneven,fairly one dimensional material that prevented him from achieving the kind of sustained success that was expected after his quick rise to fame.
Eugene Wilde是八十年代中期许多昙花一现的名男歌手之一.Wilde在瞬间成名后,尽管拥有浑厚、带有感染力的嗓音,但他固守(偶尔自我设限)的参差不齐,相当单一的作品阻碍了他获取众望所归的持续成功.
Born Ron Broomfield,Wilde grew up in Miami and sang in a family group for most of his teen years,working under various monikers such as Tight Connection,La Voyage and Simplicious,and achieving some modest regional success.
Wilde原名Ron Broomfield,在迈亚密长大;少年时期在一个家族组合里唱歌,以各种不同的组合名字出现,例如Tight Connection、La Voyage及Simplicious,也曾获得一些区域性的成功.
He later changed his name to Eugene Wilde and in 1984 was signed by the small Philly World Records label.By then he had developed into a photogenic young singer with a strong,expressive tenor voice.At Philly World,he provided backup vocals for his underrated labelmate Cashmere,but more importantly wrote and recorded what would be his first smash hit,"Gotta Get You Home Tonight." Incredibly,it shot to #1 on the Soul charts and took Wilde's eponymous debut album into the top 20,despite the general mediocrity of the disc.
较后他改名为Eugene Wilde,并与一家小唱片公司Philly World Records签约.这时候他已成长为一个相当上镜的年轻歌手,带有一副强劲、充满表现力的男高音.在Philly World公司,他为同属公司被低估的组合Cashmere充当伴唱歌手;但更重要的是他编写及录制了最终成为他第一首畅销歌曲的"Gotta Get You Home Tonight".该曲难以置信地冲上热门灵魂曲排行榜榜首,同时也将Wilde那原本很一般的首张同名专辑推上了前20名榜.
Wilde immediately recorded a follow-up album,the better Serenade,and released the single "Don't Say No Tonight" in late 1985.While the song also went to #1,it was a virtual knock off of his first hit,and hinted that he may not have staying power as a singer/songwriter.Interestingly,the disc's second single,the piano ballad "Diana," was much stronger,and demonstrated a musical and vocal depth generally not otherwise found in his earlier material.The album also included the fine midtempo number,"There's No Way," and the catchy electronic dance cut,"30 Minutes to Talk," which became a minor hit.
1985年末,Wilde随即录制了一张较好的后续专辑,Serenade,而且发行了单曲"Don't Say No Tonight".尽管该单曲也名列榜首,但实际上与第一首畅销曲相比差距甚远,这已暗示也许他没有当歌手/作曲家的持久魅力.有趣的是,专辑的第二首单曲,钢琴歌谣"Diana"显得更强劲,它所展示的音乐与声乐深度,在以往的作品中是找不到的.专辑里包括一首精美的中板节奏曲 "There's No Way" 以及获得小成就的"30 Minutes to Talk",这是一首朗朗上口的电子舞曲.
Strangely,Wilde never had another hit.As Philly World folded and he moved to MCA,his career hit a dead end.He sang with the group Cabo Frio in 1987 before releasing his next LP,I Choose You (Tonight) in 1989,and three years later released How About Tonight.Unfortunately,his recording career ended before he could cut a disc that didn't have the word "Tonight" in it.
Wilde往后就耐人寻味地再没有畅销曲.随着Philly World公司的倒闭,他转移到MCA公司,他的事业已至末路穷途.1987年他是Cabo Frio组合的成员,接着在1989年发行了
I Choose You (Tonight)专辑;三年后又出了一张专辑How About Tonight.不幸的是,在尚未再发行一张不带“Tonight”的专辑之前,他的歌唱事业已寿终正寝.
Wilde now runs the independent label Wilde City Records in Florida and is also working with his son,Du'Juan,who has released the single "Girl Let Me." In 2008,Wilde began working on his "comeback" album,entitled Compositions.He released a limited number of copies but is currently developing it further for full release,hopefully in 2011.In the meantime,he has provided guest vocals on the new Cool Million album,Back for More (listen to video below).
如今,Wilde在福罗里达州经营一家独立的Wilde City Records公司,并于他的儿子Du'Juan合作发行其单曲 "Girl Let Me".2008年Wilde东山再起,致力于命名为Compositions的‘复出’专辑.他曾限量发行过,但目前正加紧润色,希望能于2011年正式发行.与此同时,他为Cool Million的新专辑Back for More中客串演唱.(请听下面的视频)
