20 Feet from Stardom Page #9

Try to let it out

So much worse

I never said it

wasn't for me, never.

If I did, I was lying to myself.

It's always been for me, always.

Just do it. Maybe that's one way to get

rid of that gnawing once and for all.

Oh, chance

We all need

We all need, we all need

We all need a little desperation

Let's have a warm, warm welcome

for Miss Judith Hill.

Do you want, do you want

Do you want

Do you want a little inspiration?

'Cause every wound

Every wound, every wound

Really needs a little desperation

There's machines that make people

stars that don't have talent.

They don't really sing live.

Someone could have done that for Judith,

but I think what she has is deeper,

and maybe selling 500 million records

is not the best thing for her.

Let it out

So much worse

if you don't try now

It's more than just leaning on your

talent. You gotta be disciplined.

Gotta get up in the morning.

You gotta go do it.

Take a chance

Take a chance...

Opportunity's knocking.

Open the door. Get going, kiddo.

We all need, we all need

We all need

A little desperation

Can I have, can I have

Can I have

In these times that

we're living in right now,

a lot of it is based on

so many other things

that have nothing

to do with music.

Do you want

a little inspiration?

But, you know, at the end

of the day, it's up to you

to perfect that gift

that you've been given.

Put your spirit into that song.

Focus on the words

that you're singing.

Get into the experience

of what you're singing about

and sing your heart out.

A little desperation

Every time you get up,

you might fall down,

but you gotta get back

up again, you know,

and believe me when I tell you,

it's not easy, especially at my age.

I didn't start my solo

career till I was 40.

Tonight marks the 25th anniversary

of a favorite holiday tradition

here at The Late Show.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

please welcome

the remarkable Darlene Love.

Sometimes in our lives

We all have pain

We all have sorrow

But if we are wise

We know that there's

Always tomorrow

- Lean on me

- Lean on me

When you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

And now it is

my honor and pleasure

to induct into the Rock

and Roll Hall of Fame,

and about time too,

Miss Darlene Love.

Somebody to lean on

Please follow your pride

Thank you,

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I am truly honored and overwhelmed.

Tomorrow

So many of us,

Merry Clayton, the Waters,

we stand on her shoulders.

My mother

told this one lady,

"Oh, my daughter's in New

York now. She's on Broadway.

And they go, "What daughter?" Said,

"The one that used to clean your house. "

- Lean on me

- Lean on me

- When you're not strong

- Lean on me

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

- For

- Lean on me

- It won't be long

- Lean on me

Till I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

I've seen artists come and go,

and I look around on stage

and it's the same players.

They're in the game,

or they've stayed in the game

and they're legends

and they're amazing.

Lean on me

- When you're not strong

- When you're not strong

- I'll be your friend

- I'll be your friend

- I'll help you carry on

- Yes, I will

Singing background,

it helped me find me.

It got back to the love of music.

Somebody to lean

- Lean on me

- Lean on me

- When you're not strong

- When you're not strong

- I'll be your friend

- And I'll be your friend

- I'll help you carry on

- Yes, I will, yes, I will

- For it won't be long

- It won't be long

Till I'm gonna need

We have a gift.

We can hear a song

and find our part

and harmonize with it.

Children on the

corner's doing it.

Little babies do it

when they learn to sing.

It's the gift coming out.

Now, what you do

with the gift is you.

Like the old days.

OK, next session.

My boy!

I've got so much love

in my heart for him,

and I just don't feel like me

when he's not around.

Yeah, there are boys

and there are boys,

- but he's a...

- Fine, fine boy

I wanna tell the world

about the boy I love

Just the kind of guy

I've been dreaming of

He's so sincere

When he holds me tight

When I'm blue

He makes me feel all right

He even takes me places

and buys me things

But love is more important

than a diamond ring

All I wanna do is

stay by his side

Take care of him and

I'll be satisfied

'Cause he's got a sweet,

sweet kiss

And a true, true heart

Something tells me

that we'll never part

He's got a sweet, sweet kiss

and a true, true heart

And he's fine, fine, fine

No, he's fine, fine, fine

Let me tell you

He's a fine, fine boy

- Yeah

- Fine, fine boy

I know he's fine

And he's mine

- He's a fine, fine boy

- Yeah, he's mine

- He's fine

- He's a fine, fine boy

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

He's mine

He's a fine, fine boy

Whoo!

Darlene Love!
