一首黑人劳动歌曲 Po Lazuras

首先，有这么一首黑人的劳动歌曲，是说可怜的 Lazurus被警察追踪的事。

现在能查到 Bob Dylan在50年代写了同一个名字的歌，在Youtube上也能找到，但说实话，不好听。

坊间还流传着一个老录音拷贝，大概也是50年代的，节奏、韵律更黑人，更劳动一些，所以在2000年一个电影制作过程中要找这段素材时，辗转买到了版权并重新制作，大获成功，长期登上排行榜，并获得格莱美音乐奖！

下面这段是在电影中的音乐片段：

其实这也就是这电影的开头。

回到音乐来，得奖之后，他们反复查找当时的资料，包括监狱记录等等，才确认了这是密西西比一些监狱犯人的录音，甚至找到了一个带头领唱的犯人James Carter，现在在芝加哥生活。飞到那里，当面给了他一张支票，他已经完全不记得40年前曾经唱过这歌，曾经录音。

当他听说歌曲热卖，比 Michael Jackson 的记录还强时，他很高兴，说：“你告诉Michael, 我会慢下来，让他赶上。”

这首歌现在的署名是“James Carter和他的狱友们”，因为其他狱友的名字再也找寻不到了。
