Roaming the 80s: Good Days of Listening to Cantonese Songs (Revised Edition)

The 1980s witnessed the rise of local popular culture, particularly Cantonese songs. This book delves into the origins of Hong Kong's music scene, drawing from newspapers, magazines, and personal experiences. It explores the decline of English songs, the emergence of Cantonese songs, the popularity of TV drama theme songs, and the success of artists like Roman Tam, Leslie Cheung, and Anita Mui. Additionally, it examines the development of singers, notable albums, and the music industry's peripheral aspects in that era. The revised edition includes insights on movie theme songs, radio station music selection, and the expanding influence of Cantonese songs.
