1960年第一屆星島業餘歌唱比賽,三十人進入決賽,其中包括因為怕輸而改名黃霑的黃湛森。
比賽分成國語時代曲和歐西歌曲兩組,沒有粵語的組別。整個比賽由初賽開始,吸引了過千人參加,是城中大事。參賽者自選的招牌飲歌,反映了1960年流行聲音的向背。
那一年,黃湛森在歐西歌曲組進入最後十五名後慘被淘汰,成終生憾事。老友詹小屏二話不說,以詹小屏的聲,唱Patti Page的歌,順利奪得冠軍。
國語時代曲組得冠軍的張海韻,學古典音樂出身,唱梁樂音作的《賣糖歌》,用古典技法,唱流行之音,唱出了時代曲站在時代街角的風釆。
然後所有歌手,不論歐西國語,一起向前,行入一個叫做六十年代的新世界。

Composer: Erroll Garner
Lyricist: Johnny Burke
Vocalist: Julie London
Look at me
I’m as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I’m clinging to a cloud
I can’t understand
I get misty holding your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you’re near
You can say that you’re leading me on
But it’s just what I want you to do
Don’t you realize how hopelessly I’m lost
That’s why I’m following you
On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I get misty and too much in love
On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I am too misty and too much in love
