In 1984, the Great Famine in Africa, more than 16 million people lost their lives, for world peace, in order to raise funds for the African people in the disaster, people in the music circles of Europe and the United States have gathered together to carry out charity performances, British singer Phil . Collins and Bob. Geldorf created "Do They Know It's Christmas," by pop king Michael Keldorf. Jackson wrote We Are the World. Here, the people in the Taiwanese music circle are not idle, they are led by Luo Dayou and Zhang Aijia to dedicate the classic song that has been sung for 36 years - "Tomorrow Will Be Better" (1985), although the creators are mainly from the Rolling Stones and Flying Saucers, but the distribution rights of the song are given to Taiwan Blue and White Records. Since then, not to be left behind, Hong Kong and mainland musicians have launched "Earth Chorus" and "Let the World Be Full of Love".
Earlier, when I was writing about Taiwanese and Hong Kong music labels, a friend asked me to talk about the blue and white record companies in Taiwan. For this company, my knowledge is limited, and today I also came to understand the scope of the material and my friends to break it, and I hope that senior friends will correct it.
In Taiwan, there are "big labels" such as flying saucers and rolling stones, and there are also many distinctive "small labels" that are slightly inferior in scale but also "I type my show", and these large and small record companies are together, and Taiwan's records are not bustling. Perhaps, friends were impressed by the logos of the Rolling Stones and flying saucers, but at that time, the black and white piano key logo of the keden record and the blue and white cloud logo of the blue and white records were very distinctive.
In fact, Blue & White Records is relatively simple to say, because of the size of the company, you can list the singers' hands can be counted, whether it is he Chunlan, the first singer who was just established and signed by the company in the early 1980s (1983), or Teresa Teng, Feng Feifei, Qianbaihui and other long-established divas in the music world who have released records in Blue & White, and Lin Yun, He Yingda, Jiang Nianting, Huang Yi (singers who were exchanged to Taiwan by Hong Kong New Yibao), Zhu Zhenwei, Li Fuxing and the male singer who insisted on the final period of Blue and White Records (1997) - Wang Zhongping. Speaking of blue and white records, I think everyone's memory stays on the three singers Pan Meichen, Fang Jiwei and Zhou Zihan.
Let's briefly talk about the three singers who have supported the development of Blue and White Records.
1. Pan Meichen
Born in 1969, Pan Meichen is the kind of singer who became famous at a young age, she did not receive much music education from a poor family, but she is a down-to-earth singer-songwriter, almost all of the representative works of her career are created by herself, I have to say that her talent is extraordinary, and her brother Pan Xieqing is also a well-known music creator in the Taiwanese music scene (the classic song "Ice Rain" by Andy Lau is from Pan Xieqing's hand). In 1988, Pan Meichen, who won the second place in the first Youth Songwriting Competition in Taiwan, chose blue and white records among a bunch of well-known record companies and released her first album "Don't Go Don't Go", her masterpiece "I Loved You with My Heart" is from this album, and the lyrics and composing of this song are all completed by Pan Meichen. She stayed at Blue & White Records until the end of 1992 and released a total of 8 albums, of which the song "I Want to Have a Home" from the second album in 1989 became a popular song in the Chinese world in that era. She is also the most recognizable singer on Blue & White Records. Pan Meichen's neutral dress has led a trend, saying that the style of Li Yuchun, a popular singer in the mainland music scene, is borrowed from the diva of the Taiwanese music scene in the early 1990s. Perhaps the more information we read now is Pan Meichen's emotional problems and orientation problems, but she was born into a poor family and is a truly kind and enthusiastic public welfare singer. In 1993, Pan Meichen joined Golden Dot Records, stayed here for two years and then switched to Polly Jiayin, and gradually faded out of the music scene.
2. Fang Jiwei
In the 80s and 90s of the last century, the music scene was rich in jade female singers, whether it was Yang Yuying in the mainland, Zhou Huimin in Hong Kong, Yang Caini, Liang Yongqi or Qiu Haizheng, Fang Wenlin, Yi Nengjing, Chen Mingzhen, Meng Tingwei in Taiwan, in fact, Fang Jiwei of Blue & White Records was also a very well-known jade female singer at that time, she was the second "military lover" after Teresa Teng, and many soldiers in Taiwan's military camps were die-hard fans of Fang Jiwei. Fang Jiwei was originally an artist of Blue and White Records, before joining Blue and White Records, she released her first album "Yesterday's Dream Is Far Away" (1987) at Golden Penguin Records, after coming to Blue and White, the company's senior management continued to package her as a singer when she saw her good appearance conditions, she sang Pan Meichen's "Regret" to become famous, and became a singer trained by Blue and White Records with sweet singing and pure looks, and participated in the shooting of TV series and movies in addition to singing when Fang Jiwei was popular. In 1992, Fang Jiwei, who was popular, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, which made her a little devastated. In 1993, she switched to Golden Point Records with Pan Meichen. In 1996, the rear season faded out of the singing world.
3. Zhou Zihan
The female singers who sang sad love songs in the Taiwanese music scene at that time were not only "Healing Queen of Heaven" Xin Xiaoqi and "Love Song Singing Queen" Li Yijun, but also Pan Meichen and Zhou Zihan of Blue and White Records, and it seems that sad love songs are a "label" of blue and white records. Zhou Zihan is a singer-songwriter like Pan Meichen, from her first record in 1990 "I heard you left him" to the tenth and last record "Love Flower" in 1997, for 8 years, she gave all the blue and white records, thinking of the lyrics in Xin Xiaoqi's song "Don't Ask Old Wounds": Only you are my friend, accompany me to the end. After 1997, Zhou Zihan gradually withdrew from the music scene. Her representative works include "I Heard You Left Him", "Angels Cry in the Night", "Can't Wait for You I Love" and so on. To say that Zhou Zihan's most well-known song is the song "Kiss and Tears" that was sung in the mountainous countryside of the mainland, I think her "Kiss and Tears" and Li Yijun's "Who Did The Lovers Give Their Souls to" are really the kind of songs that make people want to cry.
Because of the limited cognition, today's introduction to the blue and white record label singer is here, welcome senior fans can make more additions in the comment area, thank you very much!
