''Come Upstairs'' is the singer-songwriter Carly Simon's tenth album, and ninth studio album, released in 1980. It was the first of her three albums for Warner Bros. Records and it has a harder, more rock-oriented sound than her previous albums. Whereas those earlier records were prime examples of the singer-songwriter genre, with soft-rocking arrangements primarily built around piano and/or acoustic guitar accompaniment, ''Come Upstairs'' uses electric guitars and synthesizers prominently. In the vernacular of the time, ''Come Upstairs'' was a "new wave" album, and it followed the lead of newer bands such as The Knack and Talking Heads. The first single released from the album was "Jesse", an acoustic ballad that was more in the style of Simon's earlier work rather than an example of her new sound. "Jesse" was a major hit, it remained on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 singles chart for 6 months, peaking at #11,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Carly Simon - Chart history | Billboard )〕 and was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of more than 1,000,000 copies in the United States alone. "Jesse" also reached #12 in Canada, and #4 in Australia and became her biggest hit there since "You're So Vain".〔Carly Simon discography〕 ==Track listing== All tracks composed by Carly Simon and Mike Mainieri; except where indicated Side one # "Come Upstairs" — 4:18 # "Stardust" — 4:13 # "Them" — 3:44 # "Jesse" — 4:15 # "James" — 2:28 Side two # "In Pain" (Simon, Don Grolnick, Mike Mainieri) — 6:10 # "The Three Of Us In The Dark" — 4:14 # "Take Me As I Am" (Simon, Mike Mainieri, Sid McGinnis) — 4:50 # "The Desert" — 4:44 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「Come Upstairs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
