《夜来香》是1940年代的民歌。1978年,邓丽君演唱的版本成为永恒经典。但大家不知道的,是一年前(1977年)陈淑桦18岁时录制的《夜来香》,伴奏简单,接近清唱。唱片公司关门后,陈淑桦版几乎失传。
《夜来香》,陈淑桦和邓丽君相同的19首歌之一,将两位华语乐坛巨星联系起来。这里,我们追述她俩职业的关联。
Night Jasmine, a 1940's traditional Chinese folk song, was popularized by Teresa Teng in 1978. Mainland China banned the song for being too bourgeois, which only increased Teng's popularity.
Less known, however, was Sarah Chen's 1977 rendition, performed when Chen was just 18. With rudimentary instrumental, Chen's song left virtually no trace as her record label folded.
One of 19 songs that both Teng and Chen performed, Night Jasmine created an unbreakable bond between the two Mandopop divas. Here we explore their connection and mutual respect.
