[2007-6-2]送小屹 还记得“白兰鸽”吗？





这首歌是乔治·贝克组合的经典名曲，从1975年发表，直到今日，仍然可以在媒体中听到。

在上个世纪八十年代，这首歌被重新填词，取名为“白兰鸽”，在国内也是流行过很长一段时间。


George Baker is the stage name of Dutch singer, songwriter, musician Hans Bouwens (vocals, guitar, piano, block flute, organ, mandolin). The group began in 1967 under the name Soul Invention, changing in 1969 to The George Baker Selection, at the time featuring a more rock-oriented sound. By 1974, the group switched to a more European middle-of-the-road style and burst onto the international scene with the single, Paloma Blanca. (The first single in 1969, Little Green Bag, a psychedelic rock-style tune, made it into the high teens of the Billboard American Top 100, but the second release, a more countryish tune called Dear Ann, fared less well, staying on the chart a mere two weeks and peaking at #93. The group seemingly disappeared until 1975 when Paloma Blanca hit the top twenty in the US. But the group had been far from idle. In their native Holland they scored successful single after successful single, racking up sales in the millions with numerous gold and platinum albums. George has gone solo twice, recording his last new album, Memories, that way in 1992. At present he is on tour with the Volendam Music Show with Anny Schilder (ex-BZN) and Piet Veerman, and has recently purchased his own studio.
