老歌亂談(142)A Little Bit Of Soap

對於香港的西洋熱門樂團來說，這是一首很重要的歌曲，The Fabulous Echoes(回音樂隊)在1963年就憑著翻唱這首歌而一夕走紅，歌曲登上香港、新加坡及馬來西亞流行榜冠軍位置。等於是為香港愛好西洋音樂的年輕人豎立了標竿，因而掀起了一股組西洋熱門樂團的風潮。

TheFabulous Echoes雖然算是香港熱門樂隊，其組成卻是雜牌軍，有斯里蘭卡、蘇格蘭、菲律賓人等。成名之後，他們開始到處演唱，足跡遍及日本、澳洲及美洲等地。在美國賭城登台期間，他們精彩的表演為Ed Sullivan(埃德蘇利文)所賞識，受邀在他所主持的電視節目中表演，因而成功的打入了美國市場。

60年代末，TheFabulous Echoes的成員增至七人，因此索性將樂隊名字改為Society Of Seven(SOS)，後來一段時間，在夏威夷一間著名酒店內的酒吧駐唱，有不少的捧場客。但隨著時光流逝，部份團員有的離隊，有的退休，有的過世，有的……，也不得不團散曲終了。

A little bit of soap
Will wash away your lipstick on my face
A little bit of soap
Will never, never, never ever erase
The pain in my heart and my eyes
As I go through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
Will never wash away my tears

A little bit of soap
Will wash away your powder from my chin
A little bit of soap
Will never, never, never ever begin
To take away the hurt that I feel
As I go through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
Will never wash away my tears

Have you heard when love begins to die
It leaves someone to cry night and Day
Like a bird, you left your robin's nest
And-a just like all the rest you flew away

A little bit of soap
Will take away your perfume eventually
But a little bit of soap
Will never wash away the memory
Of your name in the night
That I call through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
Will never wash away my tears

I'll never lose the memory of your name in the night
That I call through the lonely years
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears,
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears,

我要檢舉
