WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE?
好多人由呢首歌曲就想到 Peter, Paul & Mary, 生於60,70年代嘅歌迷就回憶起 [越戰],
直至今天仍然成為反戰嘅歌曲。現在回到時光倒流嘅日子, 並非重提戰爭歴史, 而要將
此曲嘅面世嘅經歴介紹一下。
1955年, 音樂人Pete Seeger 在一次飛機途中不經意地從自己嘅記事部頁脚讀到幾段文句:
"Where are the flowers, the girls have picked them. Where are the girls, they have...."
原來呢幾段係取材於一首烏克蘭民歌, 而該民歌源自一本 Pete 幾年前睇過嘅小說
" And Quiet Flows The Don " 作者係烏克蘭人, 最近已經拍成電映添, 中文片名:
" 静静的頓河 "(自己摷啦)。由此令到 Pete 有意念編一首民歌, 不過只係冩咗開頭
三段之後就冇埋尾, 仲將佢混合埋另外一張唱片中録製。後来到 1960年同音樂人
Joe Hickerson 合作, 仲張埋尾第4同5段編冩完成, 並發表在一本名叫 SING OUT 嘅
民歌什誌。
1961年 The Kingston Trio 將呢首歌録製成唱片放於B面, A面為主打歌 "O Ken Karanga"
並冇將佢哋两人嘅名字放入唱片的 Credited List 中。點知佢哋两位合作嘅歌反為打入
1962 Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
原創: PETE SEEGER
91歲嘅 Pete Seeger 與其孫兒同台演出, 希望佢仲健在 !
