香港长期是英国的殖民地，经济上对外开放，文化上对欧西特别宽容，西洋时尚，早在上世纪二三十年代，已经由中环一带，向外散播。

1950年代，西洋潮流进一步渗入平民生活。

新一代的潮，由电影带动。日战前洋电影在本地放映的数字每年平均超过二百部。黄湛森抵港后，数字有增无减。慢慢，读番书，看洋戏，玩舶来的呼拉圈和摇摇，在年轻人之中，变得理所当然。

新一代的潮，也由电台带动。多谢前卫主持人Aileen Woods和Uncle Ray的忘情推介，黄湛森和同辈的年青人，天天靠近电台，面向欧西，贴近流行，学懂将Frank Sinatra、Bing Crosby、Elvis Presley与Benny Goodman一起兼听，并且在摇头摆脑之间，确认欧西流行曲在创作、演奏、歌唱、录音，都不是香港或上海所能望其肩背。

电台广播欧西流行歌曲，由听觉开始，经过身躯，制造了新一代​​的口味和人格。

Down the Trail of the Aching Heart (1966)

詹小屏十二岁开始演唱，十六岁时已在第一届星岛业余歌唱比赛欧西歌组得冠军。后来丽歌唱片(EMI的子公司)为她推出第一张个人唱片Far Away，收录了四首歌曲，包括她比赛的得奖歌Down the Trail of the Aching Hearts。詹小屏唱恋爱路途上的心痛，以少年嗓子，唱岀成年韵味，一点也听不出为何老友黄湛森会称她为全港最怯场的歌星。

全碟歌曲，由日后与黄霑合作紧密的菲律宾音乐大师哥诗宝(Vic Cristobal)编曲。收听时，请同时留意那全场温柔地缠着歌声，教人心痛的伴奏音乐。

You told me I was your darlin'
You kept me hangin' around
Somebody else is your darlin'
So lonesome and blue I'll be found

Down the trail of achin' hearts
Where nobody hides their tears
You sent me there where sadness starts
Down the trail of achin' hearts

Once I was passing your window
Under the light of a star
Somebody else played my love song
And played it on my old guitar

Down the trail of achin' hearts
Where nobody hides their tears
You sent me there where sadness starts
Down the trail of achin' hearts

After you've had all your darlin's
Maybe you'll be on the shelf
One of these days, little darlin'
Now you may be down there by yourself

Down the trail of achin' hearts
Where nobody hides their tears
You sent me there where sadness starts
Down the trail of achin' hearts
