Caught off guard, last night, the Hong Kong media suddenly broke the news of the sudden death of 57-year-old Tang Yicong.
According to Hong Kong media reports, the police received a report from his mother that her son was unconscious at home. After the ambulance personnel arrived at the scene, they found that the man had died, and no suicide note was found at the scene.
After the news came out, the Hong Kong media broke the news through insiders and learned that this person was Tang Yicong.
Later, Tang Yicong's cousin Li Zhongxi confirmed his cousin's death.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Li Zhongxi also just received the news, which is still difficult to accept.
At the same time, Li Zhongxi also confirmed that his cousin Tang Yicong suffered from heart disease, and revealed that it was his cousin who brought him into the industry that year, and many works were also composed by his cousin for him.
I didn't expect that Tang Yicong would pass away so suddenly. Although many younger generations may not know his name, they must have heard of his works.
Speaking of Tang Yicong, I have to mention the hall-level band of the 1980s- the Tai Chi Band.
The band entered the music scene around 1985, and a song "Red Sports Car" won them the gold medal for the most promising newcomer in the 9th Top Ten Chinese.

Later, "Keep Me" and "Labyrinth of Destiny" are also their masterpieces, which have caused a lot of repercussions in the music world.
And this band can basically be said to be the "living fossil" of Hong Kong music bands, they have witnessed the rise of the Hong Kong band tide.
In 1979, musician Lei Youhui and his brother Lei Youyao, together with Deng Zude, formed trinity band, which won the RTHK Singing Competition. Later, lead guitarist Deng Jianming joined in.
In 1980, Lei Youhui and Liu Yida formed the band D.L.L.L. .M. Later, Liu Yida formed another band.
In 1983, Wong Ka-koo, Wong Ka-keung, Deng Jianming and Zhu Hanbo formed the Laser Band, and another member, Tang Yicong.
Tang Yicong, who likes to sing since he was a child, has always had a musical dream and has worked piano, jazz, electronic organs, etc.
As an adult, he became friends with Lei Youyao, Lei Youhui and others because of similar interests. When he first started making music, his career was difficult, and he couldn't even afford to rent a house at the worst time, so he had to live in the homes of Lei Youyao and Lei Youhui.
On October 15, 1984, Tang Yicong formed a Tai Chi band with Sheng Danhua, Liu Xiande and Zhu Hanbo. At Sheng Danhua's suggestion, Tai Chi merged with Trinity Band, with Lei Youyao as the captain, and Deng Zude as the manager behind the scenes, and The Tai Chi Band was eventually set at 7 people.
In the band, Tang Yicong mainly plays keyboard player.
Several bands at the same time also developed, and although there was competition between the bands, they had a particularly good relationship with Beyond, and they were teammates themselves, and they were more sympathetic to music.
In 1991, they also sang "The Voice of the Prodigal Son" on the same stage in Taiqing.
In interviews, they were asked about the band's rivalry that year, and more than once they said they were good friends with Beyond.
However, in the golden age of Tai Chi, the captain Lei Youyao left the Tai Chi Band in 1993 to immigrate, changing the band from 7 to 6 people.
Since 1995, Tai Chi works have begun to decrease, and the members have developed independently, among them, Tang Yicong, together with Deng Jianming and Lei Youhui, has been transferred to the background.
However, the band did not break up, as long as there is an event, it will participate, and it will also hold concerts from time to time.
Among the members of the Tai Chi Band, there are no rumors of discord and so on, and the relationship has been the same for ten years.
In 2017, Tai Chi Band also won the "Golden Needle Award", the highest honor award in the Hong Kong music scene, presented by RTHK Chinese Top 10 Golden Melody Awards Concert, which was presented by Lin Zixiang.
Lei Youyao also returned
Although Tai Chi Band has many songs composed by the whole, and even arranged in the name of the whole, Tang Yicong and Deng Jianming are the main arrangers of the band.
At his busiest time, Tang Yicong only slept three or four hours a day.
And he also likes to use a variety of instruments to mix and compose music.
In addition to arranging and playing, his own singing skills are also good.
Because of his talent, Tang Yicong wrote songs for many stars in addition to writing songs for the Tai Chi Band, including many Tianwang Tianhou.
Brother Zhang Guorong's "Refuse to Play Again" was arranged by Tang Yicong, and the song was born in 1987.

Later, many singers, like Chen Xiaochun, also sang "Refuse to Play Again", which shows how classic this song is.
Also because the early cooperation was very smooth, Tang Yicong also helped Zhang Guorong record demos, and the two hit it off.
Zhang Guorong liked the music written by Tang Yicong, and the two often discussed the creation together.
In the later period, Zhang Guorong's "Blame You for Being Too Beautiful" was also arranged by Tang Yicong.

Classic works such as "Left and Right Hands" and "Big Hit" were arranged or adapted by Tang Yicong, and the name "Gary Tong" was often mentioned in his brother's musical career.
In addition to arranging music for him, he was also the music director of Zhang Guorong's "PASSION TOUR Enthusiastic Concert" world tour in 2000.
This performance is really a classic within a classic.
By last year, he also participated in Zhang Guorong's adaptation of the album REVISIT, re-arranging his classic masterpieces.
Among them, "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter A Balloon's Journey" was launched when his brother was 64 years old, and used a recording soundtrack that had never been exposed.
On the other hand, many of the works of Tianhou are also written by Tang Yicong, and songs such as Lin Yilian's "Egyptian Rose" and "Rose Love" (co-arranged with Dick Lee) are also composed by him.

When Faye Wong developed in the circle under the name of Wang Jingwen, songs such as "Stuffy Coffee" and "Like the Wind" also had his participation in the arrangement.
Sun Yaowei's "The Story of Love (Part I)" also passed through his hands.
Just in recent years, Tang Yicong has handled many hit songs, and Eason Chan's "Salon" and "Let Me Go" and other songs have his participation in the arrangement.
In recent years, Gin Lee, a little diva that has been popular around the world, has his first book on "Beautiful Man and Cigarettes" and "Happiness Gate".
He also arranged the theme song of the radio drama of radio drama of Radio Television Hong Kong.
Tang Yicong also discovered new people, Li Zhongxi, who played Ah Xi in "Acts 3", was a singer earlier, and he also brought him into the industry and composed lyrics for him.
Mak Ka-yu, a female singer with good singing strength, was also brought into the Hong Kong music scene by him.
According to Hong Kong media statistics, Tang Yicong had composed more than 400 songs before his death.
Behind the scenes, the production staff always gives people a sense of obscurity, and there is very little news.
But Tang Yicong is still active, in order to be healthy, he actively participates in outdoor activities, and often uploads his running information on social platforms, and his body shape has lost a lot of weight compared with before.
Even if he can't go outdoors, he has to do yoga or swim at home.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly received the news of his death now, because the news was too sudden, including Deng Jianming, Mai Jiayu and others felt sad and shocked.
Joey Yung praised him for his talent and low profile, and Zhou Huimin said that he would never forget the words of encouragement he had given her before.
Grasshopper, who has a good relationship with him, Cai Yijie, Cai Yizhi also uploaded a group photo with him to commemorate this old friend.
The most excited is Zheng Zhongji, who posted that he could not accept the death of such a friend, but saw that Universal Records was still sending a promotional tweet of "suddenly wanting to listen to Tai Chi", and immediately burst into a rough scolding "Universal Records Do you XXXX have humanity?!" ”
Later, Universal Records apologized for deleting the article to calm the public anger.
The emotions of these singers and the behind-the-scenes staff are sometimes really very deep, they silently write their works behind the scenes, the aura in front of the stage is all shrouded in the singers, and few people remember that they are working hard behind them.
A song, a song, a word, and even a few notes of the arrangement, can change the fate of the work and the singer, so many times, the behind-the-scenes staff is indispensable.
And such a talented and prolific musician as Tang Yicong, but in this 2021, suddenly passed away... He left behind many classic works, but he could not continue to do more for singers and fans.
He and his brother, after all, met over there and went well.
