Biography

American jazz tenor saxophonist. Born November, 21, 1904, St. Joseph, Missouri, USA – died May, 19, 1969, New York, NY, USA. Also known as Bean or Hawk, Coleman Hawkins started piano lessons when he was five. He switched to the cello at the age of seven and two years later Coleman began to work on the tenor saxophone, turning professional by the age of 12. In August 1923, he began to record with [a307323], whose orchestra also featured [a38201] at this time. Following a period working in Europe (1934-39), shortly after his return to New York, he performed his classic version of "Body and Soul" almost by chance at the end of a session for RCA Victor. For the rest of his career, he mainly led his own groups, playing with [a145256], [a64694], [a23755] and [a229498], among others.

LYRICS

Someone that I belong to
Doesn't belong to me
Someone who can't be faithful
Knows that I have to be
Wonder if I am wrong to give her my loyalty

Why should I be a lone soul
Why can't I be my own soul
Alone from night to night you'll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisner of love
For one comand I stand and wait now

From one who's master of my Fate now
I can't escape for it's too late now
I'm just a prisoner of love
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing
Those arms with me
Although she has another
I can't have another
For I'm not free
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Up on my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner of love.
Love.
