Gracie Rivera 利慧詩

Gracie Rivera (利慧詩)是於七十年代中期，繼Teresa Carpio (杜麗莎)後，能成功在香港建立了知名度另一位菲藉女歌手。

筆者沒有Gracie的詳细個人資料，只記得她最初是憑翻唱Mary MacGregor原唱的"Torn Between Lovers"後才為當時的本地樂迷認識， 跟着又翻唱了法藉女歌手Marie Myriam在1977年全歐歌唱大賽的冠軍歌曲"The Bird And The Child ("L'Oiseau Et L'Enfant") "，而收錄這曲的《Gracie》個人LP專集在其效力的EMI唱片公司推出市場及經電台熱播後，迅即登上當年的每週西洋流行曲榜首，而該LP的銷量更獲1978年度本地IFPI頒發的金唱片獎。其它在她當红時期灌錄的受歡迎"翻唱"歌曲，記憶中還有"You Light Up My Life"、"Don't Cry For Me Argentina"、"All You Get From Love Is A Love Song"等。

自1977年至1979年，Gracie Rivera為EMI灌唱的個人LP專集、及與EMI旗下歌星和樂隊共同收錄的精選LP合集如下：

The New Topnotes 新特樂樂隊

The New Topnotes 新特樂樂隊是在七十年代中，前D'Topnotes 特樂樂隊的鍵琴手Danny Chung 鍾定一及結他手Majid Rahman，與樂隊骨幹成員的Samson姊弟班(Christine，Vikki及Michael Samson)拆夥後，結合其他本地華籍樂手Johnny Ip 葉振棠(低音結他及主唱)、Elisa Chan 陳潔靈(主唱)及兩位外籍樂手Andrew Oh(吹奏)和Roberto Petaccia(鼓及敲擊)所組成。Johnny Ip 葉振棠來自澳門，他是在位於崗頂現時已結束的聖約翰英文中學畢業後，才往香港發展的；到港初期曾以教人彈奏結他為業，其後獲朋友介紹，在灣仔的酒吧當低音結他手及兼任歌手。而Elisa Chan 陳潔靈則出身自無線電視(HK-TVB)的天才觀眾演藝節目〈聲寶之夜〉，年僅十五歲的她，於1970年9月中的節目總决賽贏得冠軍，惟掄元後卻未如葉麗儀般獲HK-TVB重視或被唱片公司青睞；其後她駐唱於九龍尖沙咀區的碧瑤(Bayside)夜總會，並曾在1973年末麗的電視(RTV)歌舞節目〈青春旋律〉中，與澳洲籍歌手Ben Leeman(李文賓)共任節目主持及常駐歌手。

1975年，EMI為The New Topnotes出版了樂隊首張的LP，由前星洲樂隊The Quests (六傑士)成員Reggie Verghese負責製作。

樂隊拆夥後，隊中的三位主要成員Johnny Ip葉振棠、Elisa Chan陳潔靈及Danny Chung鍾定一，很自然地各自去尋找他們在本地樂壇的發展及出路。 葉振棠於樂隊解散後不久，和前Ming樂隊的女鼓手Maria Wu鄔瑪莉及獨立鍵琴手黃正光，組成了一支名「馬正棠」的三人樂隊，駐唱於數間本地大酒店內的酒廊。EMI在1979年曾為他們出版了一張全粵語歌曲的LP，但唱片推出後，市場反應一般，其後這組合也告解體。

1980年，葉振棠以獨立歌手身份，首次在麗的電視(RTV)製作的武俠劇集〈大內群英〉，主唱該劇的主题曲。歌曲於螢光幕播出後大受歡迎，及後並繼續成為RTV多套電視劇主題曲及插曲的主唱者。1982年，他加入無線電視(HK-TVB)成為合約歌星，憑Chris Babida (鮑比達)作曲及鄭國江作詞的一首"再等待"，榮獲東京音樂節82'國際大賽「亞洲特別獎」。同年他主唱HK-TVB電視劇〈蘇乞兒〉的主題曲"忘盡心中情"，更同獲香港電台(RTHK)主辦的〈十大中文金曲〉及HK-TVB的〈勁歌金曲〉節目全年最佳歌曲獎，讓他走上了其歌唱事業生涯中的高峯，自此更奠定了他在當年代本地樂壇的崇高地位。

而Elisa Chan陳潔靈離隊後，亦以個人歌手身份活躍於本地樂壇。1982年，她為粵劇名伶阮兆輝經營的喜韻唱片灌錄的一張粵語歌曲LP，碟內的多首歌曲如"星夜星塵"、"今晚夜"、"白金升降機"等，推出後迅即大受樂迷歡迎。其後她加盟華星及重返華納，進一步延續了這實力派女歌星在本地藝壇的歌唱生涯1986年，她和葉德嫻及散芬芳合唱團合唱的"千個太陽"，更是當年膾炙人口的金曲。

至於Danny Chung鍾定一，他離隊後專注於唱片監製，至今仍是本地樂壇的重量級人仕。

1996年，EMI挑出了樂隊當年灌錄的十八首歌曲，出版了首張The New Topnotes的個體CD精選專集 《Let Their Music Play》。

Let Their Music Play               (EMI Music - 1996／724385553127)

Johnny Ip，Danny Chung & Elisa Chan於1997年更破天荒與The Wynners (温拿樂隊)合作拍了一輯MV，合唱了他們在七十年代曾各自灌唱Seals & Croft的著名作品"Windflowers"。

回顧當年的The New Topnotes，他們和The Wynners及Jade(玉石樂隊)，廣泛地被認為是本地流行樂壇鼎足而三的最受歡迎組合。在翻唱了不少受歡迎的外國普及流行歌曲之餘，The New Topnotes也有翻唱了好些極富水準的騷靈及慢板歌曲，如Stevie Wonder的作品"C'os We Ended Up As Lovers"及"Harmour Love"、Lou Rawls原唱的"You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine"、Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr.的"You Don't Have To Be A Star"及"Two Of Us"、The Manhattans的"Kiss And Say Goodbye"、David Pomeranz的"If You Walked Away"等。而筆者尤其喜愛Johnny Ip葉振棠那帶濃厚鼻音及富滄桑感的嗓子.....

不知不覺間，The New Topnotes已拆夥了接近廿年，其間從未聽聞他們如同期的The Wynners那般，偶爾復合舉辦演唱會，讓當年的歌迷懷缅一番。惟期盼透過最近Johnny，Danny & Elisa在上述MV的结合舉動，促使The New Topnotes能夠在不久的將來，再次在舞台上重現他們昔日的風采。
