"Bleeding Heart" (sometimes called "(My) Bleeding Heart") is a song written and recorded by American blues musician Elmore James in 1961. Considered "among the greatest of James' songs",〔Franz 2003, p. 113.〕 "Bleeding Heart" was later popularized by Jimi Hendrix, who recorded several versions of the song. ==Original song== "Bleeding Heart" is a slow-tempo twelve-bar blues that features Elmore James' vocal and slide guitar. It was recorded during one of his last recording sessions and has session musicians providing accompaniment, instead of James' regular band the "Broomdusters". According to producer Bobby Robinson, it was his idea to record James with a "big band sound" and to hire band leader Paul Williams to arrange the horn section.〔Morris 1992, p. 9.〕 The song opens with one of James' more memorable verses:〔Franz 2003, p. 113.〕 :People, people, people, you know what it means to be left alone (2×) ... :No letter today, not even a call on my telephone Although recorded in 1961, "Bleeding Heart" was not released until 1965, two years after James' death. It was first issued as the B-side to the first pressing of "It Hurts Me Too" (Enjoy 2015), which became a Billboard R&B chart hit and made an appearance in the pop chart. "Bleeding Heart" was later released with "Mean Mistreatin' Mama" (Enjoy 2020). These single versions were edited to 2:37; a 3:05 version later appeared on the ''Elmore James Memorial Album'' and various compilation albums, sometimes with the title "(My) Bleeding Heart". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bleeding Heart (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
