Li Delin
In January this year, Li Delin (the fifth brother), the initiator and founder of Tianjin pop music and the captain of the Tianjin Roadside Guitar Team, launched a new album "Mo Yan Disappointed". The album was produced by musician Wang Bao, and the songwriter was excellent. The album contains both new songs and nostalgic old songs, and it takes people back to the simple, sincere and pure 80s.
When Li Delin was a child, his family lived in the southwest building of Hexi District, and there were adults singing in the nearby Jianshan Park, he was fascinated by Lajinghu, came into contact with guitars when he was in junior high school, and in the late 70s, he heard the songs of Teresa Teng, Liu Jiachang, Liu Wenzheng and Peter Chen through the radio shortwave, and began to play popular songs.
At that time, there were more than a dozen groups of people playing the piano in Tianjin, and everyone sang similar songs, "Love", "The Place of First Love", "Afraid of Separation", "Only You Don't Have Him in My Heart", "The Road of Love", and the theme song of the Japanese movie "Pursuit", "Witness", and "The Street of Amen". The best singer is Li Delin, not only has a clear voice and high pitch, but also has various decorative notes, vibrato. The guitar is also played differently from others, the original hook playing technique, how to play handy, is jokingly called "Southwest Building Flamenco". Slowly everyone knew Li Delin, calling him brother five.
Boyhood Lee Delin
In the early 1980s, pop music flourished, and many art troupes and professional musicians of formal groups emerged in Tianjin, playing the lute and changing the guitar, playing the accordion to the keyboard, and playing the song. The TV station also set up a radio art troupe and found Li Delin to perform with them, Wang He, Liu Guojuan, Zhang Die, Wang Xiaoqing, Zhang Hongsheng, ren Qiuhong were all members of this troupe, and later these people became famous.
Li Delin's first official appearance on stage was at the Yangtze River Theater in Qiandezhuang, where he was inverted three, rehearsed three songs, and had a wooden guitar and no electric sound. He burned his explosive head, wore a toad mirror, and held a guitar on stage, just went up because of nervous legs, but the audience under the stage looked at the shape, immediately exploded, even applauded, Li Delin sang eight songs, the audience went crazy, and the next two actors could not perform.
The next day to the Hexi Gymnasium, Li Delin changed the finale. He grew up in Hexi, and many people in the audience knew him and shouted "one or two Li Delin" in unison. After coming down, drummer Wang He said: "Is this singing, it is a football game." Then he performed at the People's Stadium, the announcer announced Li Delin's name, and the audience applauded and sang "My Chinese Heart" on stage, with six or seven applause in the middle of a song.

Soon after, he went to the four suburbs and five counties of Tianjin to perform. During the performance at the Jixian Auditorium, people from the Galaxy Audio and Video Company found Li Delin and asked him to record, and without signing a contract, he produced three album tapes. At that time, being able to record tapes was simply a myth, and even if you wanted any money or money, you didn't dare to mention it. Later, how many tapes were sold, Li Delin himself did not know.
The Yingkou Song and Dance Troupe came to Tianjin to walk the cave and perform at the Zhongshanmen Theater. Li Delin and his friends brought their own tapes and cover posters, went to the background to introduce themselves, mentioned the name, the other party actually heard of it, he knew that the tape sold very well in the northeast. It went well with the hole. At that time, the cave was running all over the country, there was a salesman who played the front station, after the contact was completed, the brigade rented a big car and lived in the theater guest house, Li Delin was the main actor, and the cave head lived in a room.
Zhu Xiaolin, who is popular throughout the country with a song "Mother's Kiss", is also in this group, Zhu Xiaolin is a big name, when this group "sold Zhu Xiaolin's tickets and watched Li Delin's plays", Li Delin sang seven songs on stage each time, the effect was particularly hot, a program for two hours, he had to stare at it for 20 minutes. Two or three times a day, when there is no rest, sometimes the throat is inflamed, go to the hospital to get a drip, come back and play immediately. A drill can earn 30 yuan, and the performance venue is a gymnasium, the price is doubled, 60 yuan a show, three or five days to settle the money. Soon after, Li Delin wrote a letter to his family: "We are ten thousand yuan households. ”
Published tapes
Li Delin has been walking for five or six years and has cooperated with Fushun, Fuxin, and Liaoning Opera House. There was one thing he would never forget. One year after walking back to Tianjin, I went to Liu Zhuang's friend Minge's house to listen to Zhang Xing's tapes, "A Road" and "Late", Delin would sing, but still loved to listen, over and over again, and heard the dawn before leaving. First back to the home of the southwest building, my mother made a bowl of noodle soup for Delin, and after eating, she went back to Liulin's own home, where she packed her bags and went to Beijing to join the Yingkou Song and Dance Troupe. During the performance, my mother died of a sudden heart attack. At that time, the information was particularly unobstructed, and the family sent an urgent telegram to Delin, but the performance location was always not fixed, and the telegram was received after two places, so he quickly asked for leave to go home.
To play music, you must first have a feeling. How to practice the day after tomorrow, there is absolutely no feeling. Some people have not practiced at all, but they have a feeling with one mouth. When Tianjin singer Xie Jin participated in the "SkyOcean Cup" competition, Li Delin was a judge, and Xie Jin's mother Yan Yongli looked for Li Delin: "Delin, you take a student." Sherzin was not yet 16 years old at the time, and as soon as she began to sing, Delin felt that she was absolutely ok, from the recognition of her voice to the style on the stage, all right, refreshing. Li Delin people are in the jianghu, and they are particularly moralistic in their dealings with the world, and they can help their friends if they can. In 1986, he took Xie Jin to participate in the exchange concert of outstanding singers in eight major cities across the country.
Li Delin's new album cover
A friend took Li Delin to the home of the Beijing composer Martin. After listening to Lidlin sing, Martin said that his voice and feeling were like Michael Jackson's, and he was particularly optimistic about him. At that time, Li Delin had no idea who Jackson was, and he didn't think much of it, and he didn't dare to become famous, as long as he could sing. Later, Li Delin finally heard Jackson's song and immediately liked it. After Jackson's death, Americans formed a team in honor of Jackson on a global tour, and when they performed in Hong Kong and Macau, Li Delin went to see it several times.
After the cave-walking trend passed in the early 1990s, Tianjin opened its first song hall, Alice. Li Delin went to Alice to sing and slowly went from singer to manager. In 2006, he started his own bar, also to have a place to sing and party. He worked for 15 months in Richmond, Luoyang Province, then at the Kaidelin Bar on Jiefang North Road until May 1, 2014, when he was 59 years old.
Many people say that Li Delin sings better now than when he was younger, and his voice has not changed much, but there is a foundation and precipitation, unlike the blind pursuit of singing high notes in the past. Playing guitar is Li Delin's hobby, but he is more persistent than others. From playing guitar on the side of the road in the late '70s to today, he can still sing and still produce albums, and he says he's content. Everyone's happiness is different, the needs are also different, when singing the stage friends can listen carefully, can feel that he sang well, this is his happiest thing. (Text: He Yuxin)
