After black girls saw this field, with their edification in the church's gospel since childhood, those with great talent among them began to devote themselves to it, and gradually emerged and attracted attention. Their voices are so beautiful that even if they only appear in a limited singing part as a harmony, they are of great interest to audiences who have never heard this form of singing before. Once the market is interested, their time will come. .
In view of the current social situation at the time, black people and black music belonged to a field that was not very popular in the mainstream. Proud white people probably did not want to see a black man popular among girls and young women; they also did not want to accept the voice of black girls. The line completely compares many white girls. But what's nice is always appealing and can't be the center of the halo, what about twenty feet away? Yes, people can accept them out of the spotlight. Their voices fill in the gaps of the lead singers very well, making the whole song full and energetic. All of a sudden, all the big stars and bands wanted them, and yes, they were in their golden age.
Some of them are so talented, they seem to be born for music, they can freely control every part of their voice, interpret the same lyrics in different ways and different emotions, they have infinite energy, Can sing almost non-stop. After rock and roll, a form of performance that made everyone's most incisive, became popular, they were ecstatic, performing without limits, freely showing their voice and emotions, it was like giving them new life.
They are so good at singing that the lead singers have to look at them differently, their interpretation of the song is like the second creation of the song, they are more than just harmony, they become part of every song, They got into the heart of the music and became part of the free soul.
Because it is so popular, and they are so talented, the idea of wanting to develop on their own begins to grow in their hearts. Yes, why not? Why can't the singing that fascinates all beings sweep the world? Because music is popular, and popular is very expensive and well-mannered, but they know very little about other parts except for their unparalleled voice.
Don't you see the songs I sing, others lip-sync, I record albums and others come to the charts, the so-called contracts are just a piece of waste paper, even to make a living, I have to do house cleaning for people, and my golden songs came on the radio , and no one knows or even believes that that is my voice, that is who I really am. Don't you see the hardships of going solo, spending a lot of money on albums, supporting a family and supporting a band, obviously I can sing as well as the Rolling Stones, why can't the album be a little better?
the reality is cruel. You have done your best, you have pushed the development of music, and even you have entered a very good field in art, and in their eyes, you are just harmony. Your performances are excellent, the audience likes them very much, and the sales volume is increasing, but they just want you to be "delicious and not expensive", just take the money and leave. You've been treated unfairly, you've said that you have nowhere to go, you're disheartened and ruthless, and what kind of bitterness is there when you clean the house? The pressure was too much to bear, so I switched to teaching Spanish. Time passed and I looked back. You said that you were never worse than anyone else, but you buried your talent all these years. Are you willing? You are super talented, you made your own album with all your heart and you want to show everyone your beautiful sound goods, but you don't know why no one wants to spend money to buy it home and enjoy it. You who are underappreciated, don't know where to go.
Gradually, the golden age passed. Your talent has brought you many friends, and hear what they have to say. Whether a singer can succeed or not depends on the works and productions she gets, as well as her luck. You can't get good works, even if you have an invincible voice, you can't make a deep impression; you are not popular, although the works you participated in have already been popular all over the world, but no one remembers your name; you finally showed up, But with that explosive head and slag costumes, coupled with a less than devilish figure and an unbeautiful face, the audience will not buy your account.
I don't know what the odds are of a hit and gold production favoring an obscure backing vocalist, but I know how hard it is to get the masses to buy your record. The masses are always blind and preconceived. Maybe some people don't like black people, maybe some people don't like your style, maybe some people think you are not cool at all, maybe in their eyes you have no personality at all, and they reject you at all. Is there anyone who can ignore all the ancillary factors and just enjoy your music and be impressed by you? Of course, there are such people who appreciate art, but the vast majority of the public just follow the fashion. The popular ones are cool enough, gimmicky enough, prettier, better run, or better luck. Look at last year's sixto rodriguez, you can write and sing, and the songs have depth, but no one cares about them, and they work hard to make a living? I'm writing as emotionally as I am now, but before I watched this documentary, I didn't have any impression of you. Even if I heard your voice before, I probably wouldn't take it to heart. This world has never been equal, this society has cold rules, and everyone obeys it and becomes a part of it.
The wheels continue to turn. People are no longer so new to harmony, more and more singers' bands no longer need harmony, and many harmony players can't find jobs; the development of technology has also made music more and more deviated from music itself, a pentatonic sound. Incomplete beauty can be repaired to the point where the public sighs as a goddess. Harmonies with wonderful voices are no longer known to the world. How unwilling to be selected by MJ to be on the same stage, but still have to sing for a singer. Don't worry girl, you look as great as MJ, how can you be slandered in front of and behind? What a sigh, I have participated in the creation of countless business legends, but no one remembers them in the end. Don't worry, after all, so many of you have been singing happily together for so many years, and you can still cooperate happily. What a pity, the Grammy winner and the lead singer are amazed that she still sings harmony, but she knows nothing about music and can't deal with everything except music. Rest assured, God is fair, and the gift he gave you is so superhuman that you are a little worse in every other way. These girls or aunts, after going through the vicissitudes of life, are remembered, appear in this documentary, or reunite with friends, or tell their hearts alone, and return to the studio of the year. A few songs to express the melancholy emotions in my heart and recall the glory of the past.
The field of harmony is probably like this, some people come and some go, some people are happy and some people are sad, neither big nor small, neither good nor bad. There is still no shortage of voices handed down to the world, and it is still not remembered by the public.
For them, probably the best position is twenty feet from the spotlight, not about fame or fortune, playing pure music in a simple position. Forget about the troubles around you, don't be driven by desire, just for the reason you stood here in the first place, you are born to love music.
Let the market belong to the market; the art belong to the art.
Finally, let's close our eyes and imagine that we are immersed in Lisa Fischer's gentle, sensitive and charming singing, forgetting the mundane and leaving only the sounds of nature.
