Biography

[b]Kenny G[/b] was an artistic alias of [a=Kenneth Goldsmith], an American poet, music critic, and [l=UbuWeb] founding editor. [b]Do NOT confuse with a smooth-jazz saxophonist [a96114][/b]. Goldsmith primarily used the "Kenny G" alias as a radio DJ, hosting a weekly show at [l=WFMU] independent radio station from 1995 till 2010. In 2003, Goldsmith released one of his Kenny G's radio shows as [I][Link][/i] CD in 2003 (distributed by [l=Soleilmoon Recordings]). It was a live, on-air collaboration with [a=People Like Us], a prominent British sound collagist who used to host several WFMU programs of her own ([i][url=https://discogs.com/release/4777176]DO or DIY[/url][/i], for instance, or [i][Link][/i] with Ergo Phizmiz). While running his WFMU show as 'Kenny G,' Goldsmith received numerous misaddressed emails to his more famous namesake, the [b]"other"[/b] Kenny G (pseudo jazz sax player [a=Kenny Gorelick]). In 2006, he published a book-length collection of unedited "Kenny G Letters" at LA-based micropublisher [i]Make Now Press[/i]. Goldsmith also regularly recited some of the Kenny G letters, both on-air and during public readings, which eventually led to a collaboration with [a369376], an aspiring US composer and experimental artist from Connecticut (who also happened to have a "celebrity" namesake saxophonist, [a=John Zorn]). Kenny and Jonathan recorded [i][Link][/i] online album in Nov 2007, freely available at [l=UbuWeb]. Goldsmith also wrote some album reviews and essays under the Kenny G alias, namely "A Popular Guide to Unpopular Music," initially published in 2000 in the American Music Center's webzine (and on Kenny's WFMU homepage). For this manuscript, Kenneth interviewed [a=Joan La Barbara], [a=David Behrman], [a=David Soldier], [a=Stephen Vitiello], and [a=Morton Subotnick]—analyzing how they managed to combine well-established music careers with professional jobs in the record industry, science, education, etc.

LYRICS

There's been so many times
my heart has been broken into
I kept them waiting in line
coz nobody's heart was true
for every time I gave into love
I would always end up blue
and just when I was about to give up
I found myself an angel call to you


I've been waiting a lifetime for
somebody to love me like you do
(oh yeah,oh yeah)
I was thinking that I'd always
be lonely but God came up
with someone like you
just to think I had made
up my mind love was over
somebody gave me the love
that somebody was you


I told you night after night
I prayed for someone like you
but no one ever was right
they could not compare to you


I wasn't sure if I could endure
if things just stay the same
I didn't know if God had in store
a day without you loving my way


I've been waiting a lifetime for
somebody to love me like you do
oh yeah (oh yeah)
I was thinking that I'd always be
lonely but God came up
with someone like you
just to think I had made up my mind
love was over
somebody gave me the love
that somebody was you


I've been waiting a lifetime for
somebody to love me like you do
(baby)
oh yeah (oh yeah)
I was thinking that I'd always be
lonely but God came up
with someone like you
just to think I had made up my mind
love was over
somebody gave me the love
(somebody gave me the love)
somebody gave me the love
(opened my heart and gave me love)
somebody gave me the love
(somebody gave me the love)
that somebody was you....
