  [歌手简介]

  With his distinctive vocals and blue-collar songwriting skills, Canadian icon Bryan Adams' take on rock 'n' roll basics found a niche that has lasted for over 20 years.

  Adams' solo career was launched with the release of his self-titled debut album Bryan Adams in February of 1980 on A&M Records. Adams had already been touring, recording demos and working as a studio musician paying his rent for a few years, but it was when Adams formed a song-writing partnership with drummer Jim Vallance that things started to happen.

  The first album was not initially released in the U.S. (although "Hiding from Love" was issued as a single and reached No. 43 on the dance chart), so Adams assembled a backup band and embarked on his first Canadian tour as a solo act, spending four months playing clubs and colleges.

  The tour was to be the foundation for his second album, You Want It, You Got It, which was recorded in NYC in two weeks and released in the spring of 1981. The original album title was Bryan Adams Hasn't Heard Of You Either but that title was rejected by A&M as being too provocative. This 2nd album became Adams' first official release in the U.S.

  He toured America for six months, opening for the Kinks and Foreigner and by January of 1982 the album broke into the Billboard charts peaking at No. 118 in 13 weeks. The single "Lonely Nights" became his first Hot 100 entry at No. 84 and peaked at No. 3 on the mainstream rock chart.

  His third album, Cuts Like a Knife was released in January of 1983, with the single "Straight from the Heart", leading the way. It broke his career open, peaking in the Top Ten of the Hot 100 and setting up the LP, which followed. The album also reached Top Ten, selling platinum and spawning further Top 40 hits with the title song and "This Time".

  The album's success was stimulated by Adams' extensive touring in support of it, which began in Canada and continued into the U.S., where he opened for Journey. From there he toured Europe followed by dates in Japan and then back to Canada.

  Adams' fourth album Reckless was released on his 25th birthday, November 5, 1984, and was preceded by the single "Run to You", which reached the Top Ten. It was followed by no less than five Top 20 singles drawn from the album: "Somebody", "Heaven" (which hit number one), "Summer of '69" (Top Ten), "One Night Love Affair", and a duet with Tina Turner, "It's Only Love".

  Reckless reached No. 1 in the U.S. selling five million copies in America and a reported three million more in the rest of the world. Adams also earned his first two Grammy nominations, Best Male Rock Performance for the album as a whole, and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group for "It's Only Love". As per usual, Adams toured extensively in support of it. His World Wide in '85's tour began in December of 1984 finally wrapping in November 1985. One of the highlights that year included being the first artist to open the American side of the Live Aid concert from Philadelphia on July 13th.

  Into the Fire, followed in March of 1987, prefaced by the single "Heat of the Night," which became Adams' fifth Top Ten hit in the U.S. The album reached the Top Ten in the U.S. and sold a million copies, with another million sold overseas. It also spawned the Top 40 hits

  "Hearts on Fire" and "Victim of Love". Adams' worldwide tour in support of the album went on for more than a year. One of the final shows, in Werchter, Belgium, was filmed for a television special, Bryan Adams: Live in Belgium broadcast in Canada the following year.

  In June of 1991, Adams went back on the road in Europe co-headlining with ZZ Top. This coincided with the release of the single "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" which topped the U.S. charts for seven weeks - the longest any song had remained at No. 1 in eight years. Its international success was even greater; spending 16 weeks at No. 1 in the U.K., making it the longest-running chart-topper in the history of the British charts.

  Adams began to look forward to his next studio album, but in the interim released a hits compilation, So Far So Good, in November 1993 featuring the single "Please Forgive Me," a new Adams/Lange track. The song would also find its way into the Top Ten. Then came the Adams' theme song for the movie The Three Musketeers, "All for Love", recorded with Rod Stewart and Sting, which hit No. 1 in the U.S. in January of 1994. That same month, Adams embarked on an ambitious tour of the Far East, including countries like Vietnam that were rarely visited by Western pop artists.

  At the beginning of 1996 Adams released a new album 18 'Til I Die. The album featured the flamenco-tinged "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" from the Johnny Depp/Marlon Brando film Don Juan DeMarco. Adams was rewarded with yet another No. 1 hit, as well as a Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and his second Oscar nomination for Best Song.

  Adams returned in the spring of 2002 collaborating with Hans Zimmer on his first full-length song score for a film, the animated DreamWorks feature Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. The soundtrack made it into the Top 40 and Adams and Zimmer earned a Golden Globe Nomination for their collaboration.

  His most recent work is entitled Room Service, which was released in September of 2004 where it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard European Top 100 albums Chart. Room Service is currently pending a US release in 2005.

  Adams 出生在加拿大,在他事业的初期,他一直担任前 Prism 乐队 Jim Vallance 的助手。Adams 当时为很多加拿大乐队写了很多歌曲,其中有 Loverboy、Bachman Turner Overdrive、Bonnie Tyler 和 Kiss 等乐队。Adams 在 1981 年的时候与 A&M 唱片公司签约并在年底推出了他的处女作《Bryan Adams》,但遗憾的是,这张专辑并不十分成功, 甚至没有能够成为打榜专辑。但第二年,他推出了他的第二张专辑《You Want It, You Got It》,这张专辑终于不负厚望,登上了全美排行榜。

  Adams 在商业上的转机出现在1983 年推出的专辑《Cuts Like A Knife》之后,其中民谣《Straight from the Heart》在专辑推出前就登上了 Top 10 排行榜。 当然,这张专辑一经推出也登上了 Top 10。在 1984 年底,Adams 以其嘹亮的、中速的“Run To You”(跑向你)第2次进入了 Top 10。 同年发行的专辑《Reckless》也是一张很成功的作品。由于这张唱片的作品在广播节目中大量播出,使 Bryan Adams 成了家喻户晓的名字。专辑连续二周高居美国专辑排行榜榜首,并有超过500万张的销量。其中,《Heaven(天堂)、《Summer Of 69”》(1969 年夏天)、《Somebody》(某人)、《One Night Love Affair》(一夜情)和与 Tina Turner 合作的《It s Only Love》(仅仅是爱情)均榜上有名。

  1991 年,Adams 带着新歌“Everything I Do, I Do It For You” (我做的一切都为了你)回来了。这首歌是电影《罗宾汉》的插曲, 电影取得了票房上的胜利,歌曲则获得了巨大的成功。这首歌重新奠定了 Adams 主流摇滚的地位,并为其1991年推出的三白金唱片《Waking Up The Neighbours》(叫醒邻居)打下了基础。
