• Hey David,

  Such a wonderful compilation! I’m also hugely interested in searching for originals of songs covered by HK/Taiwan singers. Your work is by far the best I’ve seen.

  A few points to mention though:

  1. A friend of 鈴木キサブローjust wrote me that Keith Brown is the name Mr. Suzuki used when writing the song “smile again”

  2. A mistake in the song “壯志驕陽”: the orignal song should be Kan’s “愛は勝つ” instead of “悲しみは雪のように” which was covered by 巫启贤 once, if I remember it correctly.

  3. 再愛上妳’s original version is Glenn Medeiros’ Me-U=Blue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQOX7dzQY6w

  4. I have the original version of 你是我今生唯一傳奇 back in my home in China. It is in a compilation CD. I just can’t remember the name. Will check it out later.

  5. I believe “In love with you” was an original song since John Laudon, lead vocal of the former HK band Citybeat whose Chinese name is 刘诺生, used to write songs for quite a few HK singers.

  6. 除了這些 還有…’s original song is “被给予的时间结束(주어진 시간 끝에서)”
  by 玻璃箱子, a Korean duo band.

  7. 二人世界 is another mistake. This should be an orignal song by Richard Yuen (袁卓繁）. The one “二人世界”, whose original song is Timothy B.Schmidt’s So much in Love, should be covered by Alam 林子祥。

  8. 初吻’s original song is Newton Family’s “carnival”.

  9. In the album “祇願一生愛一人”, there is another covered song”Cry”, whose original song is David Halliday “High”。

• Thanks for the comment! I knew people were actually viewing my site quite a bit, but you’re the first person who isn’t a relative or personal friend I know that has actually commented on this page (not even talking about the rest of my site yet).

  I actually have a list of other cover songs done by other artists, and was even thinking of adding a separate page for that too, but haven’t had the time to do so. Now to tackle some of the issues bit by bit…

  1. That is good to know. Hopefully someone will actually read the comments and see that. Learn something new everyday.

  2. “悲しみは雪のように” was from a bad source, and I thought I’d updated it a long time ago to Kan’s “愛は勝つ”. But thank you for catching that.

  5, 7, & 8. I would have to check out and listen to the song myself, before I can actually put down the original title and singer’s information with determination.

  6. Some of the Korean videos aren’t readily available, or are already lost. I have some of the songs downloaded, and haven’t had the time to upload them. I found the particular song you were talking about, but haven’t had a chance to download and upload it here.

  Everything else however, I’ve taken your suggestions and updated my site accordingly. Once again, thanks for your comments. I hope to hear again from you whenever you get some more updates, or whenever you can send me samples and information about those other songs.

  Sorry for the delay in response. Your first post was caught in my spam box, and I haven’t had much of a chance to update my blogs, with semester finals and many other things going on.

  Thank you for posting that URL though. I’ll update the URL as soon as possible, but the information on Timothy B. Smith will stay on there, because it’s who was credited in the original CD. However, thank you once again for clearing that up. Also, “Thank you!” to the many viewers who help me keep this site in check and let me know to update my information.

  May I also add a few correction/addition to your list:
  盡在無言 is a cover song of 井上陽水, the song name should be 新しいラプソディー

  also
  總有一天等到你 is a cover song of Ariel Rivera (a Phillipino singer), the song name is Sana Kahit Minsan from the album Simple Lang. This one you can listen in my blog.

  Anyhow, still think your list is great! Thanks.

  I checked out your site, and it’s pretty cool that you actually have both the original and Jacky’s version to listen to. AWESOME! Maybe you can help me with the broken links I have on here and find the original stuff for the other songs. Hahaha!

  The source I had for 井上陽水’s “新しいラプソディー” merely put in “ラプソディー” I mean… “New Rhapsody” vs “Rhapsody”… I don’t know…

  It’s a good thing you pointed out to me about “Sana Kahit Minsan” though. I’m surprised I didn’t have that song listed on the chart (probably did, and then deleted it on accident, because my computer was getting quirky on me again). But originally, I thought it was a Japanese song like most everything is. But I double-checked, and you are correct, it is indeed Phillipino.

  • Yeah, in his later reprints of the CD, it’s credited to Paul Mauriat (as opposed to “Paul Maunat” as the typo was published in all the orignal jackets). You are correct. Thanks for catching that. But then, in the case of this MV, it’s accredited to 羅大佑.
    http://v.ku6.com/show/0YtHe9SZuNjggKYp.html
    Confusing, yes, I know. But it turns out that Paul Mauriat first made 《臺北之歌》(Song for TaiPei), and 羅大佑 decided to use the music and put in his own lyrics.^*
    Also for the note, the Cantonese version of the song which came afterwards is 迷情, for those who wanted it.

    But hey, without your help, I wouldn’t have bothered investigating that piece. Thank you very much. I like collaborative efforts like this. Hopefully soon enough, this list will be filled.

• Thanks for your information. I checked Jacky’s albums on Sunday and I did find that “Song For Taipei” was the original song of “思念”

  Well, another song I just found is “單車少女”, whose composers were Elmar Kast and Joachim Horn-Bernges. I thought they were German, and I knew they composed quite a lot of songs for Nino De Angelo. As a result, I checked his albums from 1983 to 1985, and and I found that the original song of “單車少女” should be Nino De Angelo’s “Gar Nicht Mehr”. There is no relative animation in Youtube, so I upload a sample, please check it:

• Well, after confirming the original song of “別讓我發現你在哭”, another song, “一吻=兩心印” became apparent, in that I strongly suspected that its original one should be sung by the same singer, or even in the same album. But I was misled by the Youtube’s animation “Tudo com voce”, which in fact was a different version, but which I thought was the same as that of José Augusto.

  OK, anyway, the original song of “一吻=兩心印” is “Tudo com voce”, sung by José Augusto too, and also published in the same album “José Augusto” in 1990.

• 馬路英雄 is not quite hard, since the name of composer, Tony Clarkin, implied that it should be a song from the British band Magnum. But its original one was not the most famous song of this band. It was “Rockin’ Chair”, composed by Tony Clarkin and Russ Ballard (Not Bullard), from the Single in 1989.

  There is a live version in Youtube:

  A few errors in the list to clarify:

  2. Oh! No!’s original should be “No” by Newton Family
  3. 籃雨 should be 蓝雨
  4. 小姐, 貴姓? is mistakenly repeated.
  5. 俞閒加油站 should be 偷闲加油站
  6. For “In Love with You”, John Laudon is 刘诺生，a HK singer/songwriter. So this should be an original song for Jacky.
  7. 剎那愛’s composer should be 谷村新司
  8. For “Only Something love can do”, shall we put its cover “当我想起你” here? If yes, the original should be Trademark’s Only Love. BTW, lyrics of Only Love is different from “Only something love can do”
  9. What is the original title of “失恋事小”？
  10. Is “我得你“ a cover? I don’t think so since Eric Kwok is also a HK singer/songwriter.
  11. Shall we add his latest Cantonese album’s covers?

    5. I mistyped the 偷 as 俞. But it should be 偷閒, and not 偷閑. But to be sure, I’ll triple check. Thanks.
    6. Thank goodness! One less song that needs to be tracked down. Also, just learned something new. Awesome!
    7. Definately another mistake on my part.
    8. I knew something was strange about the English version of this song.
    9. I have no clue. The CD jacket just had ◯◯◯. So I copied them as is. 😛
    10. Just for the note: I’m glad to see 郭偉亮(Eric Kwok)’s return to the 2-man group Swing. I originally thought that he had a single with the song Osaka. I didn’t realize that it was in a collection. I’ll keep it in the list, but cross it out.

• I think “Hon är Flickan”, the original song of “今晚要盡情”, is the same as “Hon gör allt för att göra mig lycklig”. This is important, in that “Hon gör allt för att göra mig lycklig” was in the album “Tillfälligheternas Spel” in 1990, implying that another song, “夜茫茫”‘s original song, might be in this album (this is Jacky’s strategy, I guess). But which one will be the target? It looks tricky because I do not have this album. In this album, however, I find that only the song “Tillfälligheternas Spel” is in length of more than 5 min, whereas “夜茫茫” is more than 5 min; and accordingly, I surmise “Tillfälligheternas Spel” should be my target. Fortunately, it is!

  There is no relative animation in Youtube, so I upload an animation:

  • Seriously, if only these artists would just come out, and be like, “Oh hey, ____ is my song, and ____ is the original for ____ artist!” It would be much easier. Sometimes, I get so desperate with this, as to think a song like “高! 高!” should simply be from a song with the title “Go! Go!” or maybe “Higher! Higher!”. Too bad.

    Your words are too kind. This isn’t all my work. I just copy and take from other people, and then I put it all in one simple-to-access page. However in turn, other people take from me. I noticed some folks simply copy and pasted my entire table, and left it as is. As far as I know, I’m the first non-Hungarian guy to spell “Newton Family” with its original name of “Neoton Familia” on the web. Funny enough, NOW there’s a wiki page in English about them. Before, I had to make due with a Google translation of the original Hungarian wiki page. But these are all little things. Back to wiki pages though… Did you also notice that my entry for this page in the external links of the Chinese Jacky Cheung wiki page, was removed? I never even got approved for the English one either. Seems like the assholes have gone from the English-speaking world to the Chinese one. Gr…!

  Several mistakes I found in your list:

  The composers of “屈到病” (or “Let’s go band”) should be Andy Goldmark, George Lyter and Bruce Roberts (not Brock Walsh)

  The composer of “高! 高!” should be Brock Walsh (not Danny Beckerman) (I also surmised that the name of this original song, or at least, the lyric, would contain the words “go go”. ^_^)

  The composers of “左右為難” should be Andy Goldmark and Brock Walsh (not Danny Beckerman and Brock Walsh, in fact, I found that Beckerman and Walsh seldom cooperated with each other)

  Please check it

  • You’re right. Even on the original jackets, it has the names you put down. Thanks for catching the mistake.

    To be honest, I never liked that song 失戀事小, and after hearing 薔薇の正体, it doesn’t sound much better. But it’s good to know I can finally replace those ◯◯◯s.

• Hi 阿江,

  I think you missed a few cover songs by Jacky:

  1. In the Smile album, “轻抚你的脸” is a cover of 罗大佑’s “穿过你的黑发的我的手”released in 1984.
  2. Also in the Smile album, “丝丝记忆” is a cover of 李恕权’s “每次都想呼喊你的名字” released as early as in 1984.
  3. In 相爱 album, the song “狂傲” might be a cover song since 見岳章 is a famous japanese composer.
  4. In 只愿一生爱一人 album, the song “夕阳醉了” should be a cover of 郑婷’s 谁想轻轻偷走我的吻 written by 童安格 for 郑。

  You can go http://www.xiami.com for the three Mandarin songs mentioned above. : )

  • 1. Album: 家. Cool!
    2. Album: 赤子. Got it.
    3. I’m pretty sure you’re right.
    4. There’s very little information on this singer, but I trust you in this case.

    Xiami isn’t working out for me, so I’ll have to keep it with youtube, unless you have the song located somewhere else.

• I have bought the CD of Face Two Face and the EP of Sally, so now I can share “Celebration” and “夏の日の恋”. Please contact me if you need the mp3s. Thank you.

• Well, I found some mistakes. The original song of 別戀 is not 夏の日の恋 but マイナーコード Heartbreak.

  This is the link of this song:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jko_zzmJ164

  Also, “Celebration” is not the original song of 日出時讓戀愛终结. According to JASRAC, it should be Face Two Face’s “あの夏の風”. So I think I have to buy another CD of this group. 🙂

  • You’re right. mコードにHeartbreak is even identified as the original song in the wiki (I know scholars have issues with wikipedia, and such, but it’s a good enough source for me).
    http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/SALLY

    Good luck on getting the CD. Where do you normally get it from? I try to buy the Japanese originals on Amazon, but sometimes, they want you to have a Japanese address. As for the non-japanese originals, it’s much more rare and harder for me to find. I honestly have no idea where to buy them. My only source would be to ask James in Hong Kong.

  I sometimes contact with the Japanese shops which is able to ship their CDs to other countries, and also, I have Japanese friends and they may help me to buy some CDs.

• Hey guys, with this theme, I didn’t realize that it was trying to pull up the video in a flash window –But it didn’t work. Most of the time, I’d just open up the links by opening things up in a new tab. However, it’s been fixed, and this “new feature” of opening up the video in a flash window is now working. Sorry for not noticing sooner!

• I do the same as you do…want to find the original song!
  but i also want to let you know that, all the songs in Album ‘Private corner’, are written FOR Jacky, rather than just change the language from the original!!

  The song writer, Daniel Nitt and Roxanne Seeman were presented at the press conference as a proof.

  so, don’t think you will ever find the so-called ‘original song’…
  as they are original!!
  cheers!!

  • Although I had originally thought that the songs were written for someone else, I did do some fact-finding long ago, and know that the songs were written for Jacky. However, Jacky even made statements that somehow the Cantonese lyrics for some songs couldn’t match the feelings produced from the original English lyrics. Most of the songs were written in English by the composers, but they ended up being replaced by Cantonese lyrics. So while there isn’t an “original English version” of the songs per se, the songs were not written in Cantonese from the beginning. So with Jacky’s latest album, we’ve hit a grey area.

• Hi 阿江，

  I have found two more originals of Jacky:

  夜深 = El DeBarge – Private Line
  梦里再爱一次 = Anders Widmark – Rock Me

  And we missed an original:

  稀有品种 = 唱反调 (yet I haven’t found who was the original singer)

  • 鉛筆小丁,

    最近真煩,太忙. But my late discovery of your post is like a glimmer of hope. Thanks!

    As for 稀有品種, I’ll have to leave that out for now until we can get more info. I’m assuming if it’s really some obscure artist, it could be someone from Singapore or Malaysia, just like 黃品源’s 小微 was originally 阿弟’s 小微 –or maybe I could be completely off.

    *UPDATE (21:57): According to 稀有品種’s lyricist’s website, the song was made for Jacky. Plus, the lyricist is from Singapore.*

• Hey 阿江：

  No problem la~ And great to learn the info on 稀有品种. Then I wonder from what source this site’s info comes:

  http://www.annie.ne.jp/~knkm/jfile/cd/cd4/02_2.html

  Do you have this CD and if yes, could you check the booklet?

  Actually I also somehow found the original composer of 爱因斯坦 was Kazuo Shiina （椎名和夫）, but I couldn’t go any further. It’s quite possible that the song was an original work for Jacky (based on the copyright info).

  • I don’t know where she got that info from, but I’d really like to know myself. I did check the booklet, and the info matches what everyone else says online.

    As far as 愛因斯坦, it’s good to know the actual Japanese name for Kazuo. I checked the Japanese page for him (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A4%8E%E5%90%8D%E5%92%8C%E5%A4%AB), and if the song would have been for Jacky, it should have said on there, so I think there has to be an original Japanese singer for that song.

• Hey 阿江，

  For the 椎名和夫 song, I don’t think the wikipedia page has a complete list of his works, and the copyright info (©Intersong) indicates that in most cases it should be an original song (you can compare it with other songs in Jacky’s albums).

  And I found that we missed one cover: 一颗不变心 = 黄品源 流浪的心

  • I added the 黃品源 original, but give me a few more days to check up on the 椎名和夫 song. Because I know 渡辺茂樹 is the guy that 編曲. Granted, I’m well aware of 渡辺茂樹 behind many productions, even in Hong Kong, but I’d still want to try to investigate a bit further.

• Hi,

  Was reminded by a friend that we missed two more originals:

  梦中的你 = 黄莺莺 梦中的你（周治平 has a self cover version as well)

  等你等到我心痛 = 黎沸挥 等你等到我心痛（巫启贤 also sang this original version as well).

  • Elsie,

    Thanks! ^_^ Actually, I miss the days when we were listed on the Jacky Cheung Wiki page for English and Chinese. I got a lot of traffic initially from my entries in there, until some a-hole decided to edit my entries out. It’s still on the Cantonese wiki at least, but I’m sure now that I’ve mentioned that, it’ll be taken off as well.

• Updated music videos, and also, corrected the title for 周治平’s 我把心遺落在1989 (originally had it as “遺留”). Updated a few videos, and added some back in. Others aren’t recoverable due to copyright issues and closed accounts.
  Found a replacement for Marc Anthony’s “One Shining Moment”, and added that back in.

  With the new theme, I’m going to add in some images of Jacky’s previous albums and just rotate them out randomly. Got other plans too, but I just haven’t had the time. Took a major crisis to even devote any time to this site.

• To be honest, I’m not too sure about the last entry for “無聲的吉他” (Part of the “不再讓你孤單” soundtrack). I wanted to visit the actual composer’s site (http://www.luncaiemas.com.my) and ask him directly, but it says that the website has been suspended. Any thoughts, anyone?

• Hey, the latest single of Jacky you asked about is a re-cover of Danny Summer’s Cantonese big hit 結他低泣時 in the 1980s. The original should be Malaysia band Search’s Fantasia Bulan Madu (http://blog.yahoo.com/_DF3VZCRGSM2OM62YQZ5DVVMUUI/articles/44759).

• 我看到三處錯誤.
  結束不是你要的結果出自2001年發行的專輯,而挽留出自2002年11月1日發行的專輯,兩首歌作曲都是黃凱,這首張學友應該是原唱,而挽留是翻唱.附資料.http://music.douban.com/subject/1412056/
  該不該出自2002年發行的專輯,why oh why出自2004年台灣偶像劇的原聲,所以張學友是原唱.
  private corner中只有迷你是翻唱,其餘的歌都是當初找人新寫的.

  • 不好意思，這麼久才回應你。關於「結束不是我要的結果」的確是個抄作，沒有經過版權授權協議：
    http://www.southcn.com/ent/yulefirst/200201171171.htm
    官司打了，還輸了。主要的是雖然張佳洵的專輯晚一點發出，可是他公司先請了黃凱，然後張學友的公司沒有搞清楚這個版權的問題。
    在『Private Corner』的確是可爭。不過我為甚麼要把那些歌並列在裡面，是因為作曲的人原本寫了那些歌的確是有英文歌詞。後來為了張學友，才請本地人改了歌詞。
