I'LL REMEMBER YOU - Kui Lee



 


KUI LEE (Kuiokalani Lee) 1932-1966
1932年, 生於上海, 父母均有華人與蘇格蘭的血统, 同從事演藝; Kui 五歲喪母, 與父親同返夏威夷就學, 年青時在美國的夜總會任職夏威夷 "Knife Dancer 火棒舞", 與任 "Hula Dance 草裙舞" 藝員的女友 Rose Frances Naone Leinani 於美國本土結婚 ...

.... 婚後返回夏威夷, 妻子 Nani 繼續任舞蹈藝員, 與歌星 Don Ho 同演岀於 Don 的母親 Emily "Honey" Ho 的夜總會 "Honey's Nightclub",  Kui Lee 衹當 "Doorman 司閽", 因此與 Don Ho 熟諗, 兩人開始歌曲創作之外, 亦從事錄音和舞臺演唱工作。1964年他的作品 "I'LL REMEMBER YOU" 經 Don Ho 的現場演譯後, 令 Kui Lee 聲名大噪, 但此時他已身患癌症, 此曲原是早前寫給妻子 Nani 及他的四個子女, 以表痛愛之意的作品。及後再被 Andy Williams, Tony Bennett, Herb Alpert, Roger Williams 翻唱, 不過 Elvis Presley 給 Anita Wood 的版本最為樂迷注目, 可能是當年 Elvis 的羅曼史有關。




I'LL REMEMBER YOU  
I'll remember you
Long after this endless summer is gone
I'll be lonely oh so lonely
Leaving only me to remember you
I'll remember you
Your voice as soft as the warm summer breeze
Your sweet laughter, mornings after
Ever after, Ooooh, I'll remember you
To your arms someday I'll return to stay
Till then...
I will remember too
Every bright star we made wishes upon
Love me always, promise always
Ooooh, you'll remember too
I'll remember you.

1966年, Kui Lee 不敵病魔離世, 終年三十四歲, 骨灰散於 Waikiki 海上以圓其遺願; 及後 Don Ho 每次演唱此曲時均對 Kui Lee 的感謝與表揚1973年, Elvis Presley 夏威夷的演唱會以七萬五千美元成立 "Kui Lee Cancer Fund", 亦以此曲對 Kui Lee 的悼念。2008年, 遺孀 Rose Leinani 亦因癌病去逝
