Teresa Teng's last recorded album [Can't forget]
Production and distribution, touching to the depth!
On May 8, 1995, Teresa Teng suddenly left, which made fans around the world sad. Did Teresa teng leave any unpublished works? This has become a mystery. Six years later, the mystery was revealed, and an album called "Can't Forget inoubliable" came out, with the words "2001 Teresa Teng [Final Recording]" on the cover, which is Teresa Teresa's masterpiece. Most of the real Teresa Teng fans of this album know something, but there are probably not many people who are familiar with this album after the 90s and 00s.
CD
It turned out that at the end of 1995, when Teresa Teng's younger brother Deng Changxi was sorting out her personal belongings, he found some recordings that Teresa Teng had not published before her death, and there were songs in both Chinese and English. Deng Changxi thought that his sister had wanted to make an album of old songs and new songs before her death, and he felt that the songs on these tapes might be some of the works selected by Teresa Teng lijun who wanted to make that album. As Teresa Teresa's younger brother and the president of the Teresa Teng Cultural and Educational Foundation, it is naturally responsible for fulfilling Teresa's wishes, and more importantly, to protect these works from being scattered and annihilated with the passage of time. So he approached Li Shouquan and invited him to act as a producer to achieve the production and release of the album.
If Teresa hadn't left suddenly, she might still be the producer of the album
Who is Li Shouquan? Born in Taiwan in 1955, he is a legendary figure in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene. He has produced too many famous albums, such as Li Jianfu's "Descendants of the Dragon", the famous Taiwanese pianist Lin Hai's piano performance album "Seongnam Old Things" and so on. Among them, those selected as one of the top 100 records in Taiwan are Wang Hailing's "Wei", Su Rui's "Hitchhiker" movie soundtrack album, Pan Yueyun's "Sky Sky Blue", "Rouge Beitou", Wang Jie's "A Game and a Dream", and Li Shouquan's "8 and a Half", which can be said to be a rare talented musician. After serving as the producer of Teresa Teng's "Can't Forget" album, Li Shouquan was basically in a state of retirement until 2005, when he once again served as the producer of Teresa Teng's new song + selected album "Singing Reborn".
It's like the "Faint Humor" album production
"Can't Forget" as Teresa's last song, the production is very successful. The album consists of three parts: Chinese songs, English songs, and studio practice. Chinese songs were recorded by Teresa Teng in Hong Kong in 1989, English songs were recorded in Paris, France in 1990, and some were purely practiced and varied in style. Not only to retain different styles, but also to unify and harmonize, the producers have put a lot of effort into beijing, such as inviting the symphony orchestra to orchestrate the orchestra to score parts of Chinese the old songs in the form of orchestras, and inviting Japanese mixer Masazo Motegi, who has worked with Teresa Teresa for many years, to join. With respect for Teresa Teresa, these musicians worked together to release an album that presents an elegant, solemn, atmospheric, warm and modern musical style.

Introduction to lyrics, lyrics, composition, recording production, etc
Tang Changxi guessed that these songs were the tracks of Teresa Teng's old songs and new albums, although they could not be verified because Teresa teng left suddenly, so there was no definite explanation in the origin of album production. But the author believes that Deng Changxi's conjecture is correct.
First of all, the 11 songs, whether in English or Chinese, are old songs, and none of them are from the late 80s and 90s. English songs such as Smoke Gets In Your Eyes is a 1933 song by Roberta, adapted Chinese as Smoke Fills Your Eyes; "What A Wonderful World, which was sung by Louis Armstrong, who died on July 6, 1971; and Let It Be Me", written in 1955. Chinese song: "No Love" was composed by Tao Qin and composed by Wang Fuling, and was created in 1961. "Peach Blossom with Human Face", Chen Dieyi lyrics, Yao Minqu. The lyrics are based on the poetry of Tang Cui Hu's "Title Capital City Nanzhuang", "Last year today, in this gate, the faces of people were red with peach blossoms. People don't know where to go, and peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze." Judging from the description of the war in the meaning of the words, when it was composed in the late 1940s and 1950s, Because Chen Dieyi only began to write lyrics after 1945. The lyrics and songs of "Hate Not Meeting and Not Marrying" are yao min, and the poetry comes from Tang Zhang's "Festival Women's Yin" "Returning the Jun mingzhu with tears, hating not meeting when not marrying". "Little Window Acacia" Situ Mingzi, Yao Minqu; "Three Years" Li Junqing Lyrics, Yao Minqu. Yao Min died in 1967, so these songs were used before. The lyrics and music of "Don't Forget Tonight" are chen gexin, Chen Gexin (September 19, 1914 – January 25, 1961), a famous composer. His representative works include "Rose Rose I Love You", "Phoenix Yu Fei", "Night Shanghai" and other famous songs, he is the father of Chen Gang, one of the composers of the violin concerto "Liang Zhu". Therefore, it is certain that the above songs are old songs.
Secondly, Teresa Teng does have some innovations in singing, although it is only some unfinished late works and even practice singing, but compared with the original singing, in terms of English songs, Teresa Teng has added her own understanding and played the characteristics of her own voice. "Let It Be Me", sung by the famous American singer Phil Everly, is full of vicissitudes, while Teresa Teresa sings a soft feeling, "What a Wonderful World" is first sung by jazz superstar Armstrong, Teresa Teresa's singing is very different from it, softly pouring out, but less jazzy. Chinese songs, Teresa Teresa is not only different from the original song, but also has a greater change compared with her own Polygon period and Japanese song period, limited to the level, I can not accurately describe Teresa Teng's singing skills changes, but the overall style, obviously more than the mood, the sound, the lyrics of the mood. It's light, but it's warm; it's not very hard, but it can penetrate your heart and move your heart; you don't feel skilled, but it's very enduring, I've heard it dozens of times myself, but I still have new feelings every time I listen. The old song was sung, and Teresa Teresa met her own expectations. These works may not be more brilliant in business, but at this time, Teresa Teng has no need to prove herself through commercial success. Whether it is "Light And Quiet" or these old songs and new songs, Teresa Teng is creating, creating works that truly belong to Teresa's mature period, which is extremely precious to the majority of fans and even for the Chinese music scene.
The Scythians have passed away, and the sound is still in the heavens and the earth!
Teresa Teng's charm lies in her kind smile, in her sweet voice, in her singing style of "clear water out of hibiscus, natural to carve", in her witty, lively and wise hosting art, she is deeply rooted in the times, and leads and transcends the times. As a fan, her greatest charm is to soothe our hearts with gentle songs and words. Her singing is always full of sincere emotions and has always been deeply loved.
Even in these final recordings, although some are only practicing singing, Teresa Teng is very serious and enters the mood of the song. What is particularly precious is that the three songs of "Hate Not Meeting and Not Marrying", "Three Years" and "Little Window Acacia", Teresa Teng personally reported the name of the song when she practiced singing. Producer Li Shouquan once said, "When you listen to this album quietly, you can vaguely feel her amiable smile, it is so warm, as if there is a picture that we have been missing for a long time." In these songs, Teresa Teng seems to be telling so many affectionate stories with her singing, and we fans, in her calm and powerful singing, see the picture of her recording, practicing singing, and singing with true feelings! See how those melodious, intoxicating songs circle the beams! How to be born!
Friends, I hope you have the opportunity to listen carefully to this album. "Can't Forget" will really make you "can't forget"!
