Joseph Koo 顧家輝

[skylee]

Does anyone here know about this composer?

I was searching for a midi song as ringtone for my mobile phone, and someone suggested I should have 萬水千山縱橫. And this brought back the memory of all the good songs written by Joseph Koo during the 70s and 80s for HK TV dramas. 萬水千山縱橫 is one of his best songs, IMHO, which actually has some 戎馬之聲.

曲：顧嘉煇

詞：黃霑

萬水千山縱橫　豈懼風急雨翻

豪氣吞吐風雷　飲下霜杯雪盞

獨闖高峰遠灘　人生幾多個關

卻笑他世人妄要將漢胡路來限

曾想痴愛相伴　一路相依往返

誰知心醉朱顏　消逝煙雨間

憑誰憶　意無限　別萬山　不再返

萬水千山縱橫　獨闖高峰遠灘

And the lyrics written by James Wong are grand, don't you think? (Well Wong is a very versatile man and writing songs/lyrics is just one of his many occupations.)

yeah, he's working for ad agencies as a creative director in the first place, and then he became a movie director, i guess it mainly becuase he got the filming experience thru shooting TVC, and meanwhile he wrote so many classic songs... a talented (commercial) artist indeed.

BTW, i havent heard about this song yet. but not bad, sounds like the style of the Condor Heroes...

I can't update the OP so I post the updated link to the song 萬水千山縱橫 here -> http://mp3.sogou.com/music.so?query=%CD%F2%CB%AE%C7%A7%C9%BD%D7%DD%BA%E1+%B9%D8%D5%FD%BD%DC&as=false&st=&ac=1&pf=&_asf=mp3.sogou.com&_ast=1262265054&w=02009900&p=&class=1

The song is still great, after all these years.
