Louie Castro 賈思樂

金電視#74 P71「賈思樂」彩色照片

賈思樂,一位來自澳門的土生葡人,於1974年當地的粵華中學畢業後,離澳往港開展他人生旅程中的新一頁。

在港初期,他曾參加當時TVB為發掘新一代歌星而製作的〈聲寶之夜〉節目歌唱比賽,憑一曲Cliff Richard原唱的"Congratulations"晋身決賽階段,惜最後未能獲得前三名的位置。

1976年,他獲當年任TVB節目編導及同樣來自澳門同校的學長甘國亮所賞識,加入TVB成為合約藝員,並在甘國亮編導的〈少年十五二十時〉劇集中担男主角,初試蹄聲。而該劇的其他演員,記憶中有殷巧兒杜琪峰林奕華吳孟達吳浣儀余安安何貴林、李志中、羅志強、苗嘉麗、梁碧玲等,還有兩位可愛的童星鄭大衛鄭麗麗。同年五月,TVB推出了一系列由他與森森斑斑姊妹及李振輝(Robert Lee)合作演出的〈四樂士特輯〉歌唱節目,大大提高了他的知名度,亦憑此獲EMI簽約成為旗下歌星,於該年下旬至1979年間灌錄了合共四張個人歐西歌曲LP,其中一張是與May Cheng鄭寶雯合錄。

除了在歌視圈的發展外,賈思樂在1978至1979年間,也曾往台灣拍了三部由當年著名導演丁善璽執導的電影〈永恆的愛〉、〈小小世界妙妙妙〉及〈我愛芳鄰〉,全都是與恬妞分任男女主角,並為當地的海山唱片公司灌錄了一張與電影〈我愛芳鄰〉同名的十二吋長壽唱片專輯。

1985年,在港拍了他至今唯一當男主角的港產片〈摸錯骨〉,女主角是當年的名模古嘉露,但該片的票房成績其差。

可能是基於體型所限,賈思樂始終在娛樂圈中未能有所大突破。大部份的本地觀眾對他的印象,只流於八十年代他在TVB歡樂今宵〉節目中的趣劇﹝蝦仔爹哋﹞,扮演着「蝦仔」這角色。但他温純的個人性格, 卻為他在圈內廣結不少善緣。不論是已息影的或是現時還在演出的藝員,如露雲娜狄寶娜摩亞陳玉蓮余綺霞(已故)、鄭裕玲甘國亮林奕華羅慧娟廖安麗等,皆是他多年的知己好友。至於近年他的個人狀況,筆者除了知道他在2000年代初期在新城電台任DJ及灌錄了一張個人中文歌曲CD外,其他的已不大清楚了。

The Shocking Blue

  



  

  

  

  

  

  

來自荷蘭海牙,於1967年由結他手Robbie van Leeuwen牽頭組成的The Shocking Blue (屬勁部)四人樂隊,他們成功結合了富節拍感、搖擺怨曲(R&B)及帶迷幻成份的演譯方式,加上奇特的製作技巧,並憑着Robbie van Leeuwen的一首傑作" Venus",在1969年12月6日攀上美國Billboard Hot 100流行榜第一位及停留在榜的十位內達八星期之久。至於當年代(1967至1974年)樂隊灌錄的其他著名或暢銷作品歌曲,還有"Long And Lonesome Road"、" Mighty Joe"、" Never Marry A Railroad Man"、"Shocking You"、"Blossom Lady"、"Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind"、"Inkpot"、"Eve And The Apple"等。記憶中,"Venus"、" Blossom Lady"、"Out Of Sight Out Of Mind"及"Inkpot"這四首,都是筆者在中學時期,港澳兩地電台熱播的西洋流行歌曲,其後"Inkpot"更被用作電視直播六合彩攪珠開獎時的背境音樂。

The Shocking Blue最初期的成員組合,包括有主音結他手Robbie van Leeuwen、主唱歌手Fred de Wilde、低音結他手Klassje van der Wal及鼓手Cornelius van der Beek。1968年,Mariska Veres加入取代Fred de Wilde成為了隊中的主唱歌手。她加入不久後,憑着她獨特的聲線、耀眼的個人魅力、以及Robbie van Leeuwen出色的作品"Venus",終令樂隊踏上平步青雲之路。1970年,Leo van de Ketterij加入成為樂隊的第二結他手,但不久後退出。1971年,原低音結他手Klassje van der Wal離隊,由Henk Smitskamp替代。到1973年Robbie van Leeuwen不再担任樂隊的主音結他手,改由Martin Van Wijk頂上。終至1974年6月,The Shocking Blue宣佈正式拆夥。

從有關的資料顯示,Mariska Veres是位多種族混血兒,其父親是吉卜賽祖先的匈牙利籍小提琴手,母親則是德國出生的法俄裔後人。雖然一頭黑色長髮、外觀充滿野性及被當時的異性視作為性愛象徵的她,。但現實上,在身處當年充斥着性愛、毒品及樂與怒音樂的社會風氣環境下,她卻意想不到的是位頗害羞、從不沾唇煙酒及十分喜愛貓兒的女子,每當樂隊出外巡迴演出時,她最大的嗜好便是喝茶。1974年6月樂隊拆夥後,Mariska Veres開始了她的個唱發展,但卻不太成功。直至1984年,樂隊曾成功復合,但不久後又因Robbie van Leeuwen以個人理由而再度解體。1993年,Mariska曾與四名爵士樂手成立了一支名為Mariska Veres Shocking Jazz Quintet的組合及灌錄CD; 至年終時分, 在獲得Robbie van Leeuwen的同意下,她沿用The Shocking Blue這名字組成了另支新樂隊及延續其歌唱事業生涯。惋惜的是,一向以來未婚及沒有子女的她,於2006年12月2日因癌病離世,享年59歲。至於樂隊的另一位主要成員、領班兼寫作了所有樂隊原創歌曲及歌詞的主音結他手Robbie van Leeuwen,離隊後曾自行組成一支名為Mistral的樂隊作灌唱及演出的發展,但只維持了幾年的時間。及後他前往盧森堡過着隱士式的獨身生活達十二年,直到1996年才返回荷蘭居住及結識了一位女友,開始他生命中的新一頁。

在以往沒有亙聯網的日子裏,筆者的印象是本地報章及音樂刋物,鮮有報導一些有關The Shocking Blue及其成員的資料,曾有的只僅是介紹他們是來自荷蘭及把樂隊的名字譯為"屬勁部"等。儘管樂隊在七十年代當紅時期,也曾來過香港演唱,但他們在本地的受歡迎程度,就遠不如較他們後點兒出道的另一支歐洲組合Abba。1986年,英國三人組合Bananarama,重新演譯了他們原作的"Venus",歌曲推出後仍大受歡迎,並在同年再次登上Billboard Hot 100流行榜首位。 雖然未能隨着該長青歌曲的重生,帶出新一代樂迷對他們的注意及欣賞。但他們在當年灌錄的不少動聽金曲, 至今仍是歷久常新似的,也深深烙在如筆者輩般年紀的樂迷腦海中。
