Favorites In Original said...

Interestingly, about 2 years ago, I posted the same 3 posts on the same day too, I just feel that they give me the same kind of feels and I like to put them together.

Between 短暫的浪漫 and 幸運是個夢, I actually like 短暫的浪漫 more. In fact, I feel that 余劍明 deserve more than just 1 album, I really love her voice. Jim Glaser's original is equally wonderful.

Shit, my comment is gone ;( It took me a long time!

Hmm, at your first post you said:
...改自86年Jim Glaser一首作品叫「The Lights Of Albuquerque」,...
and now: 1983 Album: Man In The Mirror

But it's 1986 single "The Lights of Albuquerque" album "Everybody Knows I'm Yours"

IN 1985, JIM GLASER RECORDED "THE LIGHTS OF ALBUQUERQUE".
BUCK JONES, BOB MCDILL AND DICKEY LEE WROTE THE SONG.

I also prefer Lucina's! Susanne's is a kind of weird: It either her poor technique/performance or the poor/not rhyming lyrics!

320kbps version here:

幸運是個夢
＞Jones、Mcdill、Lee曲
＞小華詞
＞Joey Villanueva編
Joey Villanueva: 香港樂壇傳奇人物，亦是前EMI吉他手/編曲人/監製; 香港音樂界廣為人稱的Joey V.

So it was not the arrangements! Then it's her poor technique/performance + the poor lyrics (who the f..k is 小華?)

On the other it can't go wrong with Andrew Tuason's arrangements, Hacken's lyrics & Lucina's great voice+technique!

短暫的浪漫
曲:B. Jones/B. McDill/D. Lee
詞:李克勤
編:杜自持

Jim Glaser - The Lights Of Albuquerque 4:25
何嘉麗 - 幸運是個夢 4:58
余劍明 - 短暫的浪漫 5:31

So both ladies weren't covered/inspired by Jim's original! I kept on searching & found Mandarin version (冷冷的夏):

王芷蕾 - 冷冷的夏 4:29 1986

麥子傑 - 冷冷的夏 4:57

孟庭葦 - 冷冷的夏 4:31

劉罡/王浩 - 冷冷的夏 4:05 2004
http://www.tingyinge.com/music/2/2173/55255.htm

家雯 - 冷冷的夏

栗天亮 - 冷冷的夏

So the closest is 麥子傑 - 冷冷的夏 4:57! He was also one of the first main land artist who signed HK Polygram! Only if his version was released before Ho/Yu! I didn't find any other covers/English versions beside Jim's origina;. So we have to look for the inspired-by in China/Taiwan!
