<DIV><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 18px; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" color=#0000cc>The Cascades（<B style="COLOR: black; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff66">瀑布合唱团</B>）来自加州圣地亚哥，这支乐队是由擅长作曲以及吉他的主唱<FONT color=red>约翰甘莫 （John Gummoe）</FONT>领军的，他在1950年代末期结识了另外四位乐手，由于彼此十分投缘，决定共同组团。他们以类似「屋顶歌手合唱团」（The Rooftop Singers）的流畅抒情曲风，在许多私人的宴会上演出，逐渐打响名声。有一天晚上，他们正在某家俱乐部表演的时候，有一家唱片公司的星探正好在场，立刻决定跟他们签约。1962年底，唱片公司把他们带到好莱坞的录音室，帮他们录制第一张单曲「Second Chance」，虽然并不成功，但是他们的第二张单曲，也就是「Rhythm of the Rain 」， 却得到了爆炸性的成功，在流行榜上获得了第三名，同时更勇夺抒情歌曲排行榜的冠军。<BR><BR>只可惜，他们的运气显然不是很好（或许应该说是生不逢辰吧），接下来的 「Shy Girl」和「The Last Leaf」虽然也还算很受欢迎，却无法再创同样的高峰，加上披头四带来的英国摇滚入侵狂潮，他们的唱片竟然被认为「太美国」而遭到了消费者的冷落，尽管他们继续努力，却依然改变不了过气的命运，团员们先后打了退堂鼓，甚至连负责创作大部分歌曲的约翰甘莫也宣告退出，到了1969年，只剩下萨克斯风手还是原始的团员，当然也就更加的没有东山再起的机会了。不过，虽然他们只有一首真正畅销的歌曲，这首 「Rhythm of the Rain」却成了流行音乐史上最令人难忘的经典之一，不但翻唱的人难以数计，更平均每隔几年就要再流行一次，最近的一次是丹佛格伯（Dan Fogelberg）在1990年推出的版本。而在我国，它也被翻译成国语歌曲「雨的旋律」，同样也是三十多年以来始终大受欢迎。<BR><BR>1988年，澳洲歌手Jason Donovan（杰森·多诺文）被德国“铁三角”Mike Stock/Matt Aitken/Pete Waterman成功包装，以轻快动感的翻唱版《雨的节奏》一炮打响，成为举世知名的青春偶像。从此，国人就把《雨的节奏》和杰森·多诺文划上了等号，全不知原唱者是何人。在各大网站上流行着一个热门音乐贴“《欧美金唱盘》6CD合辑”，第二首就是《雨的节奏》，标明演唱者为杰森·多诺文，实际上，这恰恰是瀑布演唱组的原唱版本，并非杰森·多诺文的翻唱舞曲版。各大论坛上关于此帖的介绍都说此版本是杰森·多诺文唱的，纯属以讹传讹。平心而论，原唱版和杰森·多诺文版真的大同小异，乍一听，真的很相似，只不过杰森·多诺文版更加跳跃、轻快一些罢了</FONT><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" color=#a6a6a6></DIV>

<P>听那淅淅沥沥的雨声，<BR>它好象在说,我是个傻瓜。<BR>我真希望雨停下来。 <BR>让我无望地哭泣， <BR>让我再次孤身单影。 <BR>我唯一在乎的姑娘已经离去，<BR>去寻找她的新生活。<BR>然而，她不知道， <BR>当她离去的那天， <BR>也将我的心带走。 <BR>雨呀，请告诉我，那样公平吗？<BR>她偷走了我的心，<BR>居然毫不在乎。 <BR>我无法再爱别人， <BR>我的心已远远漂向异地。 <BR>雨呀，你就不能告诉她 <BR>我多么地爱她， <BR>请让太阳燃起她心中的爱苗， <BR>让雨滋润她的心田。 <BR>让我们爱情之花重新盛开。 <BR>哦，听那雨声， 噼哩啪啦<BR></P>
