Retro: Back to the 1940s

suprisingly... am into the oldies recently... perphaps its the cause of recent movies... like 'secret' acted by Jay Chou features the song, [情人的眼泪] by 姚苏蓉 . And in 'Lust.Caution' acted by Tang Wei and Tony Leung, a scene features Tang Wei singing 周璇's [天涯歌女].

after all this attractions, i began to download and listen to the oldies. other than the 2 songs mentioned, am into 夜上海, 夜来香, 不了情, etc.. i noe these song are really old... in fact ur might think Teresa Teng's are far better... but if u really concentrate on these songs, u will find that its nice... really gd... they can really sing, reach the high notes, constant, especially in their 拉音 damn power... Their chinese pronunciation is super... and enough, its not 'eerie' at all...

And here i go... Recalls the song 天涯歌女 'original' by 周璇 (01.08.1920-22.09.1957), a chinese singer/actress in 1930 to 1940, She was known as 金嗓子 and 歌后.

歌曲:天涯歌女
歌手:周璇

天涯呀海角
觅呀觅知音
小妹妹唱歌郎奏琴
郎呀咱们俩是一条心
爱呀爱呀郎呀
咱们俩是一条心

家山呀北望
泪呀泪沾襟
小妹妹想郎直到今
郎呀患难之交恩爱深
爱呀爱呀郎呀
患难之交恩爱深

人生呀谁不
异呀异表春
小妹妹似线郎似针
郎呀穿在一起不离分
爱呀爱呀郎呀
穿在一起不离分
