On May 8, 1995, the sudden death of a generation of superstar Teresa Teng in Chiang Mai, Thailand shocked the entire Chinese circle. Over the years, she has used her singing voice and songs to become the most well-known singer in the Chinese, and is also a peak that is difficult for the entire Chinese pop music scene to surpass. Her sudden departure made many fans who like her feel endless sadness. At the same time, it also led to a wave of tribute to her in the form of covers her songs, which has not stopped for many years and has continued to this day.
Among the many cover albums that pay tribute to her, two of them had the greatest influence in 1995. One is "Havesten by Rock " to be shared in this issue, and the other is "Fei Mi Yi" by Faye Wong . It can be said that after so many years, these two albums have been considered by many musicians and fans as the best tribute to Teresa Teng.
This form of paying tribute by cover has been popular in the music industry for many years, either because of a certain event, or because of the departure of a singer or musician. I don't like this form very much, although I have collected some of them in a cliché, and I only like three of them the most. The first one is the "Salute" shared by Leslie Cheung in the 70th episode, followed by these two Teresa Teng's tribute albums. The second one is "Farewell Rock" and the second one is "Feeling the Voice of Fei Mi".
Let’s talk about "Farewell Rock". Teresa Teng's sudden death not only shocked the Chinese circle, but also caused a considerable sensation in Japan where she once moved to. This "Farewell Rock" was planned and facilitated by the Japanese music industry. Judging from the production list, the chief producer, recording, mixing, mastering, artistic director, cover design, photography and small props are all Japanese musicians. It can be said that this grand ceremony to pay tribute to Teresa Teng was jointly completed by musicians from both China and Japan.
domestic rock people who participated in the album, although not neat, they are also highly representative. Specifically, it includes: planning and directors, Shen Yongge, Zheng Jun, , Zang Tianshuo, and Yizhao, Black Panther, Tang Dynasty, Liu Xiaosong, , Zhang Yongguang, , Chen Jin, Zhu Hongmao, Cheng Jin, etc.
can gather so many domestic rock celebrities to pay tribute to Teresa Teng, which shows how deeply Teresa Teng has influenced them, as the record copy says: "For more than ten years, Teresa Teng has gentled many musicians with sweet and bright singing, and has brought a revolution to mainland Chinese pop music. Around us, such a group of brave musicians lived. The first person they met before they met Lennon and Dylan was Teresa Teng. Although, in the end, he finally came into contact with him. We chose another form of music expression and have always been strongly continuing a new music revolution. Their music is loved by many music lovers. "
"For a long time, we have been looking for an opportunity to show their co-creation of music, but we never thought that the theme we created together was indeed such a sad theme. They resang those popular works in their own way, which is our original motivation.
Below, I will share the 10 famous songs of Teresa Teng covered by the album, one by one with my friends, one by one, the list of song creators, cover versions of the rearrangers, singers and musicians, and revisit this classic cover album with you. I and many friends like the rock method, once again pay tribute to Teresa Teng, who has been away from us for 27 years.
1. In the water,
words: Qiong Yao Song: Lin Jiaqing Adapted: Reincarnation (AGAIN)
Lead singer: Wu Tong
Box piano: Zhao Wei Electric guitar : Li Qiang String Bass : Zhou Xu Drum: Feng Jun
Once the sound is opened, Wu Tong's a cappella is enough to make people move. It is difficult for rock fans to resist. Such adaptation and cover have made this old song that I have heard of many times, rejuvenated. When I listen to it, it is nothing more than this.
2, Boat Song
Indonesian folk song Adapted by: Zheng Jun and the performer
Lead singer: Zheng Jun
Special invitation musician
Guitar: Zhu Hongmao Bass: Chen Jin Drum: Cheng Jin
Boat Song, as a common instrumental and vocal musical music, has its own unique melody form, the most typical representative is "June Boat Song" in Tchaikovsky's Four Seasons Piano Set. Zheng Jun and the others have played a lot of new ideas in this song. The melodious taste is not outstanding, and I hear more about perseverance and freedom.
3. Goodbye! My Lover
lyrics: Literature Song: Masao Hirao Adapted by: Zang Tianshuo
Leader Singer, Keyboard: Zang Tianshuo
Saxophone: Hu Zhiliang Guitar: Qin Qi Drum: Ma He
Special Invited Musician
Bass: Liu Wentai Combination: Dai Bing Percussion instrument : Liu Xiaosong
Maybe Teresa Teng's original song is too brain-filled. Although the new arrangement is not much changed, I still prefer the arrangement of the original song. In comparison, Zang Tiansu's voice and expression are much more outstanding. I have always been unable to resist such a male voice with vicissitudes and stories, let alone such a rock.
4, Drunk Tango
Words: Zhang Zongrong Song: Chen Jinming Adapted: Reincarnation (AGAIN)
Lead singer/monopoly/tube/percussion instrument: Wu Tong
Electric guitar/percussion instrument: Zhao Wei Electric guitar: Li Qiang Bass: Zhou Xu
Drums: Feng Jun
Drums, not Teresa Teng's original singer, but the earliest singing was Yang Xiaoping . Later, Teresa Teng, Long Piaopiao, Han Baoyi , Gao Shengmei , etc. have also sung. For friends who like "lounge love songs", most of them may not necessarily think that Teresa Teng performs the best. I like the adaptation of reincarnation very much. Wu Tong's voice, combined with newly added instruments and the rhythm of the arrangement, makes me more useful for my interpretation after reducing the "scent of the world". Especially Wu Tong's long singing of exclamations such as "Wu Hayi Hey, Wu Hayi" is a masterpiece.
5. The proverbs of love
words: Luo Dayou Song: Luo Dayou Adapted by: Black Panther
Lead singer: Qin Yong
Guitar: Li Tong Keyboard: Feng Xiaobo Bass: Wang Wenjie Drum: Zhao Mingyi
I am a loyal fan of the Black Panther version. After Dou Wei left, they didn’t listen to much songs. Whether it is Luan Shu , Qin Yong, or Zhang Qi , it cannot replace Dou Wei’s position in my heart.
6. Don’t pick wild flowers on the roadside
words: Lin Huangkun Song: Li Junxiong Adapted: Zang Tianshuo
Lead singer, keyboard: Zang Tianshuo
Saxophone/Single voice: Hu Zhiliang Guitar: Qin Qi Drum: Ma He
Special musician
Bass: Liu Wentai single voice: Dai Bing, Xu Tian Percussion instrument: Liu Xiaosong
Like Zang Tianshuo’s adaptation of this song, whether it is the addition of saxophone, Liu Xiaoshuo’s percussion music, or the chorus of multiple voices, in addition to the lively, it adds a lot of wild and uninhibited flavor, passionate but not promiscuous, attractive but not seduced, and the scale is just right.
7, Going to the West Tower alone
lyrics: Li Yu Song: Liu Jiachang Arrangement: Tang Dynasty band member ( Dingwu / Liu Yijun /Zhao Nian)
Tang Dynasty band members
Guitar: Dingwu Guitar: Liu Yijun Drum: Zhao Nian
Special invitation musician
Lead singer: Guo Dawei
Keyboard: Luan Shu Bass: Chen Jin Percussion instruments: three
In May of that year, Zhang Ju 's accident hit the Tang Dynasty a big blow. Although he was still involved in the album recording, it can be seen that the band members did not completely come out of the haze. The person who sang was not Ding Wu, but Guo Dawei, the Scorpio record boss and rock singer who was in love with Jiang Xin and at the time. This is also the biggest regret in the album. The Ding Wu I like did not speak out.
8, Sweet and Honey
Words: Yellow River ( Zhuangnu ) Song: Indonesian folk song Arrangement: Zheng Jun
Lead singer: Zheng Jun
Special musician
Guitar: Zhu Hongmao Bass: Chen Jin Drum: Cheng Jin
Zheng Jun has made great changes to this song " Sweet and Honey ", especially the interlude part, completely without "sweet and greasy". Friends who like rock music should be very helpful. Compared with guitars and drums, I like Chen Jin's bass more, which is enjoyable!
9, Lover
Words: Yang Lide, Han Zhenghao Song: Miki Taku ぁし ( Miki Goku ) Arrangement: Black Panther
Lead singer: Qin Yong
Guitar/Combination: Li Tong Keyboard/Combination: Feng Xiaobo
Bass: Wang Wenjie Drum: Zhao Mingyi
Compared with the previous song "Proverbs of Love", I like Black Panther's arrangement of this song "Love", which has the flavor of old black panther. Although I am not singing Dou Wei, I have a lot of familiar feelings back.
10, Night Scenery
lyrics: Lin Huangkun Song: Xiaoyan (Jiang Rongyi) Arrangement: Tang Dynasty band members (Ding Wu/Liu Yijun/Zhao Nian)
Lead singers: Qin Yong, Zheng Jun, Wu Tong, Zang Tianshuo
Guitar: Ding Wu Guitar/Singer voice: Liu Yijun Bass/Singer voice: Chen Jin
Drum/Singer voice: Zhao Nian Combination voice: Li Tong, Zhao Mingyi, Guo Dawei
To be honest, before listening to this album, I really didn't pay much attention to the song "Night Scenery" that Teresa Teng sang. I found Teresa Teng’s original version and heard it, I had no feeling at all. I had been brainwashed by the rock version and could not tolerate other interpretations at all. The Tang Dynasty's adaptation of this song was very interesting. There is nothing more suitable for the ending of several lead singers to perform the entire album, from being attracted but not being released, then layered, to the chorus that gradually reached climax.
Finally, let me talk about the album version I collected, a box of tapes released by the mainland, 3 CDs released by the mainland in different periods and 1 Taiwanese CD.
The first CD in mainland China is difficult to find now. The master disk production and the pressure plate are completed by the most common PAN AISA pan-sea disc production line in Hong Kong. The master disk code is IFPI L026 and the pressure plate code is IFPI 0920. The cover and back cover of the first version of Hong Kong Ji CD are slightly different from those reprinted later. The cover is printed with "Literature Recording Couplet No. 077" in the upper left corner, and the English title in the lower left corner is printed with Hubei Audio-Visual Art Publishing House 's logo. In addition, the back cover production unit and publication number are also arranged differently. Interested friends can refer to the above photos.
The other two CDs were later reprinted and released in mainland China. One of the master disks was produced by Hong Kong Pan Asia and Beijing Zhonglian Hongyun CD-ROM (ifpi V201). Another one, more later reprinted is Beijing Weidi Electronic Dish (ifpi CA903).
TV version CD was released in April 1999. It is a very common Anvistar (#AVS) CD in Taiwan. The master disk code is IFPI L411, and the disk code is IFPI 7096. The cover and back cover of the Taiwanese version are the same as those reprinted by the mainland. The sound quality comparison of
