Peter Nelson 彼得尼路遜

上世紀六七十代年的香港流行樂壇,其魅力能吸引一些稍具知名度的非華裔外國歌手來港作長期性發展,在筆者的回顧中,例子並不是太多。然而一位來自紐西蘭基督城(Christchurch)的男歌手Peter Nelson (彼得尼路遜),卻被當年香港繁華五光十色的都市景象所誘使,毅然脫離其隸屬樂隊,隻身來港打算於此闖一番新事業。

    

Peter Nelson的真正姓名是Peter Trebilcock,1963年與家鄉友人Ray Messervy、Don Clarkson、Doug Petrie、David Henderson及Kaye Bassett,組成了一支名為The Diamonds的六人樂隊,並灌錄了一張器樂曲(Instrumentals)的單曲唱片《"Ventures In Paradise"╱"Lucille"》, 惟樂隊的壽命卻很短促。The Diamonds解體後,Peter Nelson夥合上述後四位的舊隊友,連同彈奏主音結他的Len Ormsby,組成了新樂隊Peter Nelson and The Castaways。1965年,當樂隊正要遷移陣地至首都威靈頓(Wellington)之際,隊中的另一主唱Kaye Bassett卻宣告離隊,但樂隊隨即加入了新成員Peter Gillette作為鍵琴手。這新組合於抵達威靈頓後,正式開展其演唱事業,除了在當地電視台的﹝Teen Scene﹞節目中參與演出外,他們也灌錄了三張單曲唱片,分別為《Baby Can I Take You Home╱I'll Never Be Blue》、《Down The Road Apiece╱I'll Go Crazy》及《Down In The Mine╱So Don't Go》。第二張唱片出版不久後,低音結他手Don Clarkson的位置被Doug Rowe替代。1966及1967年,另三張新的單曲唱片《Goin' Out Of My Mind╱Skye Boat Song》、《At A Time Like This╱A Little Lovin' Somethin'》及《Knock On Wood╱Ol' Man Mose》相繼面世後,樂隊在澳紐兩地已聲望日隆。正值他們再把基地移往澳洲之際,Peter Nelson宣佈離隊及前赴香港尋求其個人獨唱事業的目標。

至於Peter Nelson在抵達香港後的持續演唱生涯資料及歷程,筆者可掌握的實是極為有限。僅知悉的是他最早期第一個月合約,是獻唱於九龍半島酒店(The Peninsula Hotel)地窖內的碟仙夜總會(Scene Disco),伴奏樂隊乃是當年本地著名組合的蓮花樂隊(The Lotus);一個月後轉往及其後曾長期駐唱的港島中區希爾頓酒店 Hilton Hotel(現時的長江中心)內之The Den夜總會,而其伴奏樂隊轉為以他個人名字為主導的Peter Nelson and The In People及再後的Peter Nelson and The Renaissance,成員包括了澳洲籍主音結他手Noel Quinlan、鍵琴手Brian Robertshaw、及已過世曾被稱譽為香港鼓王的Steve Tebbutt。於1973年新建成於中區干諾道中一號、惟現時已拆卸及改建為友邦金融中心(AIA Central)的前富麗華酒店(Furama Hotel),他也曾有一段時期在該酒店內的夜總會/酒廊駐唱。此外,在筆者記憶中,他不時穿梭於昔日兩間本地電視台製作的音樂或綜藝節目中獻歌,全皆是以其個人獨唱形像亮相。


    




聲線略帶低沉及以擅唱慢板、R&B、鄉謠風格歌曲為主的Peter Nelson,儘管其知名度在當年的普羅港澳流行樂迷印象中並不高,資深的那一輩樂迷時至今天甚或可能早已忘掉了他的名字。惟他過往多年來在香港樂壇內的努力打拼,最終仍讓他能一圓來港前的願望,那就是其個人獨唱目標取得了一點成績。1976年,他的前伴奏樂隊成員Noel Quinlan創立的好市唱片公司(House Records),為他出版了一張名為《Peter Nelson》的個人LP唱片專集,而筆者相信這亦是他至今唯一的個人唱片。
