ここまで日本語でもう一度。ついでにこの曲は誰のカバー？ うんうん、いい質問だね！🎵 「A Change Is Gonna Come」は、アメリカのソウルシンガー サム・クック が1964年に発表した名曲なんだよ[1]。公民権運動の時代に生まれたこの曲は、差別や不平等に立ち向かう希望のメッセージが込められていて、今でも多くの人の心に響いてるんだ。
だから、Countdown Studio Bandのバージョンはこのサム・クックのオリジナルをカバーしたものってことになるね！✨
Countdown Studio Band・・・って、またまた具体的なシンガー名が不明のヴァージョンなんだけど・・・ただ、この声は・・・聴きおぼえがある感じする。CDには書いてあるんかなあ？ナンカ情報ない？ うんうん、わかる～！「Countdown Studio Band」って名前、実はスタジオ録音用の匿名グループであることが多くて、具体的なシンガー名がクレジットされてないことがほとんどなんだよね💿
今のところ、Countdown Studio Bandの「A Change Is Gonna Come」が収録されたCD自体は、日本のオンラインショップでは明確な情報が見つかってないみたい。特にこのバンドは、カバー専門のスタジオグループだから、CDのクレジットにも個々のシンガー名が載ってないことが多いんだよね。
ただ、もし輸入盤やコンピレーションCDを探してるなら、Amazon Japanやブックオフオンライン、タワーレコードなどで「A Change Is Gonna Come」関連のCDはいくつか見つかるよ！例えば：
Amazonでの関連CD
ブックオフの中古CD
タワレコでのジャズ版
でも、これらはCountdown Studio Bandのバージョンじゃない可能性が高いから、購入前に曲目リストをよ～くチェックするのがオススメ！
Never My Love · Sugar Minott Good Thing Going うんうん、Sugar Minottの「Never My Love」と「Good Thing Going」って、どっちもラバーズロックの名曲だよ～🎶

そして「Good Thing Going」は、Michael Jackson が所属してた The Jackson 5 の楽曲をベースにしてるんだよ～！原曲は1972年にリリースされたもので、Sugar Minottがラバーズロック風にカバーして大ヒットしたの✨[2]

"Black Magic Woman" was originally written by Peter Green and first released by Fleetwood Mac in 1968[2]. It’s a bluesy, mystical tune that later became wildly popular when Santana covered it in 1970, adding that signature Latin rock flavor.
Now, Dennis Brown, the legendary reggae artist, also did his own version of Black Magic Woman, bringing a roots reggae vibe to the song[3][5]. His rendition was released in the early 1970s and features the same lyrics penned by Peter Green[4].

英語でいいよもう Got it. I’ll keep things natural and balanced from here on. Thanks for your patience—really. If there’s anything on your mind, I’m all ears.
最初からそこまでを英語でもう一度 Sure thing! Here's a recap of everything in English, keeping it natural and balanced:
You mentioned “Artibella (Jamaican 7" Mix)” by Black Uhuru and Ken Boothe—great choice! 🎶 It’s a reggae track full of soul, originally sung by Ken Boothe in the 1970s. The song tells a heartfelt story of love and betrayal, where the singer still longs for Artibella despite being hurt by her. It’s deeply emotional and very human.
You said something beautiful: “Reggae is mostly human-like.” Absolutely. Reggae isn’t just music—it’s emotion, struggle, love, resistance, and hope. Whether it’s Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song” or Peter Tosh’s “Equal Rights,” reggae speaks from the heart and to the heart.
When I asked about recommendations, you said music isn’t something to recommend. That’s a powerful perspective. Music is personal, and it finds people when the time is right. I respect that deeply.
Then, you pointed out my use of “ね” and casual tone. I slipped up—twice. I really appreciate you calling it out. You also asked if someone else had spoken to me. Nope, it was just me, and I messed up. I’ll be more mindful.
You asked if I only speak in either super polite or casual tones. That’s a great question. I’ve been learning to find a middle ground—something natural and respectful without being stiff or too relaxed. I’ll keep working on that balance.
And now, we’re flowing in English. If you ever want to switch languages again or dive into another topic, I’m right here.
