TVB's "Golden Song" premiered on the evening of October 10, 1981, but recently it was reported that "Golden Song" will officially end the history of 42 years of longevity music programs after the last episode will be broadcast on Sunday (May 21).
Wireless Entertainment News confirmed the news, and yesterday reported that the last episode of "Golden Song" will be played.
About "Golden Songs", it is not only the growth of many people in Cantonese-speaking areas, but also the best witness of the heyday of the Cantonese music scene.
In 1984, TVB began to hold the "Top Ten Golden Melody Award Ceremony", the first ceremony mainly awarded the top ten golden songs, and the following year added the "Most Popular Male / Female Singer Award" and "Golden Melody Award".
In the decades that followed, it became a popular destination for Hong Kong musicians.
It can be said that the opening and ending of one era after another on "Golden Songs", although those memories that have gone away, have still impressed everyone.
Tan Zhang fights for hegemony
In the 80s, the Hong Kong music scene was dominated by the two kings, the principal Alan Tam, and his brother Leslie Cheung. In terms of female singer, Anita Mui is a unique singer, she has a versatile image, leads the Hong Kong trend, and her bold and avant-garde appearance on stage is known as the "Queen of Change".
Alan Tam's first "Most Popular Male Singer Award", presented by his father Tam Jiangbai himself, should be an unforgettable scene for the principal.
Chen Baiqiang, who is a backbone official, won the Golden Melody Award in 1983 for "How Precious Tonight", and also won the "AGB Audience Sampling Survey Most Popular Award". He has always felt shy, and he showed a bright smile.
Taiwanese diva Su Rui won the 1985 Golden Melody Award with the song "Who Can Rely on Each Other", and is the second Taiwanese singer to win the award here after Huang Yingying.
In 1985, Leslie Cheung won the award for "Unruly Wind", which was presented by Chung Chu Hong.
With "Ten Twelve Inches", Lin Zixiang not only won the 1985 Golden Melody Award, but also set off the peak of the Hong Kong music scene in the entire 80s.
With Xu Guanjie's old friend ghost, he even went to the stage, singing while putting each other's shoulders to share the winning moment together.
Leslie Cheung's achievements in 1987 were good, and his song "Heartless Sleep" won two awards: the "Golden Melody Award" and the "Golden Melody Award".
At the 1987 annual awards ceremony, Lin Yilian performed the award-winning song "Gray" on stage, which was full of Taiwan.
At the 1988 awards ceremony, Anita Mui changed four different looks in one night, worthy of being a changeable diva.
In 1988, Ye Qian's diploma "Blessing" won the Golden Melody Gold Award, and she thanked Lin Zixiang on stage (the two were still filming at that time) for composing "Zero Hour Ten" for her.
Four Heavenly Kings
In the 90s, with Tam Cheung's retirement from the music scene, the Hong Kong music scene underwent a change of dynasty, Andy Lau, Li Ming, Jacky Cheung and Kwok Fucheng began to rise, known as the "Four Heavenly Kings".
In terms of female singers, Anita Mui announced in 90 that she would no longer receive any music awards, which made Ye Qianwen, Faye Wong and Zheng Xiuwen form a situation of "three post-victories" in the 90s.
In 1990, the Golden Melody Award was won by Beyond's "Glorious Years".
Dawn, who only won the gold award of the "Most Popular Newcomer Award" in 1990, has already won two golden melody awards in 1991 with "Will You Come Tonight" and "Sorry, I Love You".
Receiving the "Most Popular Female Singer Award" in the hands of Zhang Aijia, Ye Qianwen was very happy, she said that she not only had to sing with the trophy, but also held it to sleep.
Andy Lau won the Golden Melody Award in 91 with "Must Not Believe in Fate", Lv Liangwei served as the award presenter, and the host Dan Ge smiled and said: Lame Hao presented the award to Lei Luo.
In 1992, the conference invited all the candidates of Miss Chinese International to present the Golden Melody Award of "An Unchanging Heart" to Jacky Cheung.
Kwan Shuyi won the 1994 Golden Melody Award for "Under the Stars", and when she delivered her acceptance speech, she was so excited that she kept panting.
At the 1995 award ceremony, Hui Zhian presented the award to Cheng Xiuwen, and the two rarely shared the stage, which made the audience cheer.
Hong Kong singers usually receive music tribute awards only once in their lifetime. Rowan has won this award several times, first at the "Top Ten Golden Melody Award Ceremony" in 1985, and then the "Brilliant Achievement Award" in 1996.
Kwok Fucheng, who has always been unable to win the "Most Popular Male Singer Award", won this award for the first time in 1997, so excited that he couldn't even say words of gratitude.
Faye Wong has won the "Asia-Pacific Most Popular Female Singer Award" six times, making her the most female singer in history. Accustomed to strong winds and waves, even if she learned that she had won the "Most Popular Female Singer Award" at the 1998 Annual Awards Ceremony, her expression was very calm and she maintained her usual COOL style.
These live photos of the "Top Ten Golden Melody Award Ceremony" before the millennium are also more than a decade in the heyday of the Cantonese music scene.
In any case, we always hope that the glory of Cantonese songs can be restored, even if we bid farewell to "Golden Songs", we hope that Cantonese songs can continue to be inherited.
With Cantonese songs, there will be no end of the world.
