"Please Send Me Someone to Love" is a blues ballad, written and recorded by Percy Mayfield in 1950, on Art Rupe's Specialty Records label. It was on the R&B chart for 27 weeks and reached the number one position; it was Mayfield's most successful song. It has been called a "multilayered universal lament".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=West coast artists - Percy Mayfield )〕 Mayfield sang it in a soft ballad style. Its appeal lay in the sensitivity of its lyrics in juxaposing an awareness of a world in conflict, with a personal expression of the need for love. Sung in Mayfield's gentle, suave vocal style, the lyrics were a combination of a romantic love ballad and a social message against discrimination. ==Cover versions== The song was covered by Ruth Brown for her album ''Black Is Brown And Brown Is Beautiful'' (1969) and B.B. King, with Mick Hucknall singing, on King's 1997 album ''Deuces Wild''. 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「Please Send Me Someone to Love」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
