詹小屏 Judi Jim

筆者首次認識詹小屏Judi Jim這名字,全於1967年11月中她在無線電視(HK-TVB)啟播初期,每逢週六晚上九時播出的一歌唱節目『星光晚會』中任主持歌手。其後才知悉她是早已在上世紀六十年代初,參加了一個由某報業機構主辦的公開歐西歌唱比賽中獲得冠軍,繼而獲得當時的商業電台邀約,在求學之餘充任歐西流行曲介紹節目主持。1966年間,她開始為EMI公司灌錄唱片,歐西及國語歌曲並重;憑着一副甜美的嗓子,她首唱已故著名作曲家姚敏的作品"忘不了的你"(英語版:Colours Of The Rainbow),唱片推出後迅即風蜚了眾多的港澳流行樂迷,更成為了當年代的一首經典歌曲。



七十年代初,她前赴台灣,並在當地登台演唱及灌錄唱片,逗留了好一些日子後,回港加入官方的香港電台,除擔任流行歌曲播放節目的主持人外,還開始兼任一些其它節目的編導及監製事務。1972年,她嫁與著名樂評人及當年亦是香港電台同事的梁濃剛,並於同年為無線電視(HK-TVB)演譯了該台第一首、由顧嘉煇作曲的劇集主題曲"星河",可惜此原唱曲似乎並沒有被灌錄成唱片作公開發售(註)。時至七十年代中,她基本上已從其歌唱事業方面退下來,轉移專注於電台的幕後監製工作。


(註:由江鷺演譯及收錄於其個人LP唱片《星河.白蝴蝶之戀火》內的"星河"歌曲,是筆者所能找到的唯一原曲翻唱版本。)

儘管近年來,傳媒已鮮有報導她的狀況,惟筆者估計迄今已差不多接近七+之齡及平素行事低調的她,可能早已與其家人享受着悠閒的退休生活了。

下列是筆者多年間擁有和搜集得來的詹小屏個人唱片及有關曲目資料:

忘不了的你╱友愛 (Michelle)    (EMI (Columbia) Records – 1966/CHK-1016)

  

Side 1 - 忘不了的你    (姚敏曲‧葉雯詞)
Side 2 - 友愛 (Michelle)    (John Lennon.Paul McCartney)


"忘不了的你"



明知道我不該愛你,為什麼好像有聯繫,
我也曾決意想忘記,一轉眼偏又想起你。

明知道我不該想你,為什麼好像有回憶,
我也曾決意想忘記,一轉眼偏又惦記你。

你莫非有魔力總叫我懷念你,懷唸着你的情意,
你莫非有魔力總叫我盼望你,盼望着和你在一起。

明知道我不該愛你,為什麼好像有聯繫,
我也曾決意想忘記,一轉眼偏又想起你。

明知道我不該愛你,為什麼好像有聯繫,
我也曾決意想忘記,一轉眼偏又想起你。

"友愛 (Michelle)"



Michelle, Ma Belle 我要對你小心說明白,明白,
Michelle, Ma Belle 我要對你表示真友愛,友愛。

I Love You, I Love You, I Love You,
That's All I Want To Say Until I Find A Way,
I Will Say The Only Words I Know That You'll Understand.

Michelle, Ma Belle 我要對你表示真友愛,友愛,
I Need You, I Need You, I Need You.

I Need To Make You See,
Oh, What You Mean To Me.
Until I Do I'm Hoping You Will Know What I Mean.
I Love You.

I Want You, I Want You, I Want You,
I Think You Know By Now, I'll Get To You Somehow,
Until I Do I'm Telling You So You'll Understand.

Michelle, Ma Belle 我要對你表示真友愛,友愛,
And I Will Say The Only Words I Know,
That You'll Understand, My Michelle.

"Colours Of The Rainbow"



I Saw The Colors Of The Rainbow
Up There Against The Distance Sunglow.

So I Could Ride That Pretty Rainbow
And Fly Across The Western Sky.
So Come With Me And You'll See My Friend
The Colors Of The Rainbow's End.

I Always Remember Of How We Used To Meet.
I Heard Sweet Songs Up Above.
The Meadow Was So Green When I Sat Down To Dream.
That Was The Time When I Found Love.

I Saw The Colors Of The Rainbow
Up There Against The Distance Sunglow.
One Summer's Days That Rainbow Came
To Chase Away The Morning Rain.

I Always Remember Of How We Used To Meet.
I Heard Sweet Songs Up Above.

"淚痕"



月光遮上浮雲,就不分明,
人間天上,都有陰有晴,誰也說不定。

心上多少怨恨,怎能平靜,
長夜已盡,只留下夢境,幾時能清醒。

淚珠兒流過我眼睛,還流不盡,
淚珠兒洗得亮晶晶,分外靈敏。

愛情只有真愛,只有真情,
人間天上,就雨過天晴,月色照眼明。

人間天上,就雨過天晴,月色照眼明。

你使我永遠難忘                (EMI (Pathe) Records – 1969/4-36413)


Side 1 - 你使我永遠難忘 Forever Remember You (冼華曲‧辛梵詞)
Side 2 - 我在遠方 Far Away (葛士培曲‧辛梵詞)

"你使我永遠難忘"



一夜纏綿太痴狂,
你又匆匆離去到遠方。
一朵小花留下了在我身旁,
你使我永遠難忘。

那夜月影太迷惘,
我倆匆匆相聚意茫茫。
今夜月光又靜靜照到窗上,
你使我永遠難忘。

我和你曾經無語相望,
許多話在心底隱藏。
不敢問未來和以往,
只能夠低迴徬徨。

從此不會再痴狂,
美夢跟隨你去到遠方。
一朵小花留下了在我身旁,
你使我永遠難忘。

"我在遠方"



我在遠方,夜夜是月如霜,
怎能把月光,傳送到你身旁。

我重到遠方,天邊的雲悽惶,
怎能把雲彩,飄送到你身上。

我流浪天涯,情意多徬徨,
只覺得人生太渺茫,
一陣陣心頭惆悵,
到那裏去尋找希望?

我飄泊遠方,舊時夢更難忘,
怎能把相思,連結在你心上,
怎能把相思,連結在你心上。

"珊瑚戀"




那一天,偶然在,
海邊遇見了,
像魚兒,一樣活潑,
快樂又逍遙,
從懷裏,掏出了,
潔白的一個珊瑚,
悄悄地,走向前,
默默地送給了我,
就是這樣的情景,
就是這樣的迷戀,
使我時常在回憶,
永難忘記,說是情,
彷彿缺少,
說是愛還嫌太早,
就像是,春天的風,
静靜吹過我心胸。

當夏天,已來臨,
踏上了我的歸途,
他好像,要對我說,
揮着手大聲呼喚,
一刹時,無情海浪,
捲走了他的生命,
從此後他的人影,
隨海浪模糊看不清,
在那年的冬季,
忽然我又感到,
他又重回到海邊,
愛戀的地方,
為什麼,這愛情,
生命這樣苦短,
像一場褪色的夢,
深深留着回憶。

"再會吧,香港"試聽版﹕




說聲再會香港,我又遠去他方,
可是我走遍千里萬里路,也想重回香港。

我也曾在那渡船上,眺望那夜色多神往,多神往,
那山上燈光最情長,夜夜為我長燃亮,長燃亮。

說聲再會香港,我又遠去他方,
可是我走遍千里萬里路,也想重回香港。

那太平山上好風光,留給我難忘好印象,好印象,
青山和白雲伴海洋,總教我心裏歡暢,心歡暢。

說聲再會香港,我又遠去他方,
可是我走遍千里萬里路,也想重回香港。

巍巍的樓房多堂皇,漁村的景色更難忘,更難忘,
神秘美麗的天后誕,也教我夢裏常懷想,常懷想。

說聲再會香港,我又遠去他方,
可是我走遍千里萬里路,也想重回香港。

這分手時候最惆悵,眼看要離開好地方,好地方,
幾時才能再來一趟,再重回人間小天堂,小天堂。

說聲再會香港,我又遠去他方,
可是我走遍千里萬里路,也想重回香港。

Dyn-O-Mite Disco - Chris Babida & The Bang Bang Boogie Band

Chris Babida 鮑比達,一位在香港出生及已享譽港、台、中三地樂壇三十多載的資深音樂人,或許當年剛出道的他,其名字可能只限見聞於香港的專業樂師及歌唱界圈子內。惟他於七十年代後期與著名女歌星鍾玲玲的一段婚姻關係,大大地促增了他在普羅港澳樂迷中的知名度。儘管他過往在作曲、編曲、及各式音樂會中任指揮等工作方面所顯示出的個人才華與取得的輝煌成就,聽眾早已有目共睹及毋須筆者多言,但或許樂迷們可能早已忘掉了他昔日首張以個人及其伙伴樂隊名義灌錄的唱片,竟全都是為順應當年潮流及市場需求而收錄的「的士高」節拍樂曲產品,由已息影的港產片性感女星葉玉卿胞兄葉志銘所創立的Bang Bang繽繽唱片公司於1976年出版、一張名為《Dyn-O-Mite Disco》的LP。

Santana - Gold Disc (70's)

七十年代初剛步上英文中學時期的筆者,除了是一名徹頭徹尾的波牛外,還開始迷上了收聽歐西歌曲這嗜好。當然,早期那只能限於每天下課後,在家中收聽電台播放的流行歌曲,惟日子久了,喜愛程度也加劇了,遂頓生要把購買唱片這念頭付緒實行。回憶中,筆者當年把每週由父母給予的有限零用錢省下,經一些時期累積起來,只僅可購買一張盜版的歐西歌曲LP而已,但能滿足了把自己熱愛的歌曲收藏過來這小小心願,自那天起始到如今仍是我個人一大賞心樂事的。而從購買盜版過渡往購買原裝正版唱片那階段,更要厲行省吃儉用政策以求早日達標。有時儘管省下的零用錢已儲足了,但在購買的那一刻卻常居於有限資源的心態下,往往仍需費煞思量一番那一張才是自已最佳的選擇,故通常個別所喜愛歌星或樂隊的精選或金曲集,很多時會理所當然地成了我的最終購買決定。而回顧往昔這些眾多的精選金曲唱片,其中不得不提的一張,也亦是當年筆者身邊大部份的樂迷友輩皆必曾購有,那就是由日本CBS/Sony唱片公司約於19721973年間出版、內有猛曲如雲的《Santana – Gold Disc》.....

    Smile (For tribute to the Late "King Of The Pops" Michael Jackson)

    200978日的零晨時分,筆者一如全球數以億計樂迷般,坐在電視螢幕前,觀看於洛杉磯Staples Center擧行的一代流行曲之王Michael Jackson追悼大會現場直播。在眾多著名樂手為紀念MJ而獻上他生平曾演譯的歌曲過程當中,筆者最為難忘的,就是由他兄長Jermaine Jackson演唱深情的一曲"Smile"......





    這首MJ生前很喜愛的"Smile",是已故喜劇之王差利卓別靈(Charlie Chaplin)1936年製作的影片《摩登時代Modern Times》中的插曲作品,曾演譯該曲的著名或巨星級歌手或組合,可謂多不勝數,除MJ外,還包括了Nat King ColeNeil SedakaEric ClaptonSammy Davis Jr.Johnny MathisDean MartinTony BennettRod StewartJerry ButlerRoger WhittakerElvis CostelloMichael BubléEnnio MorriconeMantovaniBert KaempfertJudy GarlandTimi YuroSkeeter DavisPetula ClarkPeggy LeeRickie Lee JonesBetty EverettBarbra StreisandDiana RossDionne WarwickSandie ShawNana MouskouriAnne MurrayMaureen McGovernFerrante & TeicherSimply RedThe Lettermen....等。至於在華人樂壇層面上,多年來筆者只能找到僅有的一首演譯,同時說來也有點摸不着頭腦,那竟然是由一支我們可能預料不到的組合...七十年代的Jade玉石樂隊來擔綱,於1977年以輕快形式灌唱及收錄於他們最後一張的同名LP內。


    Smile (Charlie Chaplin/Geoff Parsons/John Turner)

    Smile Though Your Heart Is Aching.
    Smile Even Though It’s Breaking.
    When There Are Clouds In The Sky You Get By.
    If You Smile With Your Fear And Sorrow.
    Smile And Maybe Tomorrow.
    You'll Find That Life Is Still Worthwhile.
    If You Just

    Light Up Your Face With Sadness (Gladness).
    Hide Every Trace Of Gladness (Sadness).
    Although A Tear May Be Ever So Near.
    That's The Time You Must Keep On Trying.
    Smile, What's The Use Of Crying?
    You'll Find That Life Is Still Worthwhile.
    If You Just

    Smile Though Your Heart Is Aching.
    Smile Even Though It’s Breaking
    When There Are Clouds In The Sky You Get By.
    If You Smile Through Your Fear And Sorrow.
    Smile And Maybe Tomorrow
    You'll Find That Life Is Still Worthwhile
    If You Just Smile.

    That's The Time You Must Keep On Trying.
    Smile, What's The Use Of Crying?
    You'll Find That Life Is Still Worthwhile.
    If You Just Smile.

    葉麗儀Frances Yip (EMI唱片年代‧外語歌曲)

    葉麗儀Frances Yip於19701973年效力麗風唱片公司期間,共為後者灌錄了差不多廿張的外語及國語LP唱片,七吋Single及EP還未計算在內。雖然這數字在當年的港澳樂壇來說,已是+分驚人,但卻未能足以令葉麗儀攀上最頂級女歌手的層面。

    1974年,她轉投EMI唱片公司,開展其歌唱事業的新一頁。初期除順着當時的本地樂壇大勢,以演譯歐西流行曲為主外,還開始嘗試灌唱粵語及其他亞洲國家方言歌曲。


    下列是她於19741983年間為EMI灌唱的外語歌曲:
