어제 불현듯 이 곡이 듣고 싶어서, 2PAC 얼굴이 무시무시하게 찍힌 Juice O.S.T를 집어들어 씨디피에 얹었습니다. 질리도록 들어도 지겹지 않은 바로 그 곡, 뉴 잭 스윙의 교과서와도 같은 곡, Tammy Lucas & Teddy Riley의 Is It Good To You 를 듣기 위해서였죠. 헤비 D의 앨범에 있는 랩 버전보다, 저는 이 보컬 버전을 훨씬 더 아낀답니다. 90년대 중반 마이클 잭슨이 소울트레인 어워즈 등에서 상 받을 때마다 하던 말이 "테디 라일리, 당신은 천재에요~" 이거였다죠. 정말 그 말을 실감케 하는 트랙입니다.
보컬인 Tammy Lucas의 정체가 너무 궁금해서, 다른 곡에는 참여하지 않았는지 뒤져봤지만 헛수고였거든요. 오늘 그 생각이 나서 몇 년만에 다시 검색을 해보니, 이럴수가. 80년대를 주름잡던 혼성 R&B 그룹 Starpoint의 보컬이 아닙니까. ㅠ.ㅠ 얼마전 Starpoint 전집도 구했겠다,(앨범을 총 10장 냈더군요. 3장만 들어봤었는데..) 그녀의 고운 목소리를 맘껏 들어봐야겠습니다. (그나저나 이렇게 뉴잭 스윙을 세련되게 소화하는 그녀, 너무 아깝네요. 이런 스타일로 솔로 활동을 했으면 대성했을지도 모르는데...ㅠ.ㅠ )
Is it good to you? (Oooh, yeah, yeah) Is it good to you? (woo, woo, woo, yeah, yeah) Is it good to you? (oh, oh) Is it good to you?
When my love comes down, I don't have to run around... I've got you and you know just what to do to fulfill all my needs and satisfy me... But I'd like to know if the sexual healing is mutual, do you feel what I'm feeling? Do I please you? Do I fill the need? I know I might sound bold, but I'd just like to know...
Is it good to you? I want to know... Is it good to you? Oooh, I got to know, yeah... Is it good to you? C'mon and tell me, boy, yeah... Is it good to you?
(Yo T.L., kick the verse) Ooh, don't be afraid, when we're makin' love, c'mon and say yeah, tell me just how you like it, I'll talk dirty to you baby, while you drive me crazy... And I'd like to know if that sexual healing is mutual, do you feel what I'm feeling? All my love's for you, all this love is true and I'll never let you go, but I just got to know...
