The Wild Cats

2005年，韓劇〈大長今〉於香港螢幕上播出廣受歡迎後，一股銳不可當的各式各類「韓流」事物及文化，也隨着該劇之餘威，自此湧進及穩步紮根於港澳地區，南韓歌手固然是不在話下。

查實早於上世紀七十年代中期的香港流行樂壇內，已曾出現了一支由四女二男韓人組成的樂隊，獻唱於港島區的夜總會，並獲一所本地唱片公司青睞灌錄唱片，而The Wild Cats (野貓) 也就是其組合名字。




根據筆者可找到這支「野貓樂隊」的有限資料，大都是憑從閱覽了當年兩份本地樂報(《香港青年週報》與《年青人週報》)內容的記憶中、及收存唱片專集封套上所刊載的文字部份；回顧她／他們抵港初期，是駐唱於中區皇后大道中娛樂行內的金寶夜總會(Mocambo Night Club)，其後曾轉駐銅鑼灣畔的某日式夜總會延續獻唱。雖然當年她／他們在港的知名度不高，惟間歇亦有獲邀於一些由政府或私人機構主辦的公眾活動場合中演出。或許其以女性成員為主及兼外籍背境的具市場賣點因素下，吸引了麗風唱片公司(Life Records)於1976至1977這兩年間，邀約她／他們灌錄了三張的長壽唱片專集及兩張合集；而其有關收錄的歌曲，大部份是以演譯熱門的歐西流行及適值當時全球樂壇開始盛行的Disco風格歌曲為主，如The Eagles的"One Of These Nights"、從Grand Funk Railroad原唱"We're An American Band"改編而成的"We're A Korean Band"、Cliff Richard的"Devil Woman"、The Sylvers的"Boogie Fever"及"Hot Line"、Johnnie Taylor的"Disco Lady"、Diana Ross的"Do You Know Where You're Going To"、The Bellamy Brothers的"Let Your Love Flow"、Penny McLean的"Lady Bump"、KC &The Sunshine Band的"Get Down Tonight"、Boney M.的"Daddy Cool"及"Sunny"、The Emotions的"Best Of My Love"、Rolls Royce的"Car Wash"、Andy Gibb的"I Just Want To Be Your Everything"等，另有四首是屬她／他們的母語(韓文)歌曲。
