"SUKIYAKI"
十六歲踏足日本樂壇, 成名歌曲是1961年八月十六日, 在日本NHK電視「第十二回紅白歌合戰」, 一曲 "Yume de Aimashou"《上を向いて歩こう》中譯:「昂首向前走」贏得好評。同年十月, 以單曲唱片面世; 至1962年一月為止的三個月, 每月的銷量高佔榜首位置。
1963年, 英國 Pye Records 唱片公司總裁 Louis Benjamin 到訪日本, 每天在不同地方均聽到此曲, 雖然不知其內容, 但有意把它帶到英國唱片市場, 由於歌曲名字的日文難於發音, 而總裁在日本曾一嚐 "鐵板燒 Sukiyaki" 的風味, 因而給此曲在日本以外的唱片市埸, 名為 "SUKIYAKI"。

SUKIYAKI (My First Lonely Night) The Andrew Sisters - 1963
I'll hold my head up high,
looking to the sky
so they won't see all the tears
that are in my eyes.
No one will know I'm going through
my first lonely night without you.
I know the night will hide
sadness I feel inside.
No one will know,
for the smile on my lips won't tell them
I'm losing you and going
my first lonely night without you.
As I walk alone,
the lonely wind seemed to say,
"From this darkness on,
all your nights will be this way."
So I'll go on alone,
pretending you're not gone.
But I can't hide
all the moments of love we knew,
memories of you,
as I go through
my first lonely night without you.
I'm losing you
and going through
my first lonely night without you,
my first lonely night without you.
"A TASTE OF HONEY"
1981年, 美國女子二人組合的英語版本唱片面世, 很快便登上 "U.S. Billboard Hot 100" 第三位之外, 在另外的歌曲榜 "Adult Contemporary Chart" 和 "Soul Chart" 同列榜上首。同年, 香港歌手杜麗莎 Teresa Carpio 翻唱為粵語歌曲《眉頭不再猛縐》; 1989年, 梅艷芳《願今宵一起醉死》。
"A Taste of Honey" 組合之前, 早已經有不同翻唱的版本出現, 除了以音樂演奏之外, 英語有不同歌曲名字和歌詞, 與及不同國家語言歌詞的版本, 至今仍在歐美樂壇面世。
SUKIYAKI - A Taste of Honey 1981
It's all because of you, I'm feeling sad and blue
You went away now, My love is just a rainy day
I love you so, how much you'll never know
You've gone away and left me lonely
Unintentional memory Seemed to depart to me
Of love that's true
That one day turned my gray skies blue
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
I wishin you were here with me
Stop this love that I have for you
Now that you're gone I don't know what to do
If only you were here, You'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine and Once again you'd be mine
But in reality, I know it will never be
Cause you took your love away from me ....
