顧嘉煇的心血精華

顧嘉煇，是香港流行音樂最響當當的名字。他的成就，絕對空前。而且，至今無人可望其肩背。

從前，粤語流行曲，不登大雅之堂，地位比國語時代曲差遠了。
然後，顧嘉煇站了出來！
到了今天，不過是短短十餘年，但上至皓首窮經的大學教授，下至牙牙學語的黄口小兒，誰都可以随口哼出幾首粤語流行曲來。
是顧嘉煇令粤語流行曲，變得雅俗共賞，變得家傳戶曉，變成香港人生活的一部份。
當然，電視媒介的大力推廣，也是重要原因。
不過，沒有了顧嘉煇的好作品，再大力宣傳，粤語流行曲也未必便成氣候。我自己也寫過不少電視主題曲，可是比起顧兄，始終還是有所不及。
所以，我敢肯定的說，香港粤語流行曲的地位，是顧嘉煇一手確立的。
在香港，流行音樂界的朋友，一提起顧嘉煇，莫不肅然起敬。这不單是因他是個人盡皆知的好好先生，待人接物，谦恭随和；也不單因爲他是香港唯一獲得MBE榮銜的作曲家，亦不單因爲他努力不倦，屢次突破自己過往成績。我們對顧嘉煇，心口俱服，是因爲他的作品，的確是一流水凖，和世界各地的流行音樂相比，絕無避色。
這張音樂唱片，結集了他十多年來創作的心血精華。不但代表了他個人從事作曲多年以來的成就，也代表了香港這十多年來的流行音樂。所以，這該是張在中國流行音樂史上，很具重要性的唱片。
因此，我以萬分摯誠，向每位愛好流行音樂的朋友，推薦顧嘉煇的這張唱片。

—— 黃霑

The name Joseph Koo rings loud and clear in the Hong Kong music scene. His accomplishments in music are legendary, and as far as I can judge, unsurpassed.
Before Joseph Koo came to the scene, Cantonese pop music was inferior to Mandarin songs and had only a very limited following. Some years ago, Joseph Koo started putting his musical genius to work on Cantonese pop music. And now, it has suddenly matured into the most predominant music artform in Hong Kong, commanding an unprecedented vast audience that spans all spectrums of society. Cantonese music has finally made it. And it is largely Joseph Koo's doing.
One cannot disregard the support of the television medium in this popularisation, of course. But without Joseph Koo's brilliant work, Cantonese pop music could never have gained such dynamic momentum. Television theme songs are not exclusive to him alone. The writer of these notes had, in fact, written many pieces of TV theme music as well, but they never came even close to Joseph's work.
So I am saying this without prejudice or exaggeration: it is Joseph Koo who promoted Cantonese pop to its present high standing.
The mere mention of Joseph's name draws respect and admiration from the music circle in Hong Kong, not only because he is a kind and modest gentleman, nor because he is the only Hong Kong composer that has been honoured with an MBE. We respect him for his unfaltering attitude towards music and for the high standards that his compositions have achieved.
This record puts together the gems of his creations for over a decade. It presents all his major works and represents the best of Hong Kong's pop music.
I recommend this record without any reservations.
