1960年第一屆星島業餘歌唱比賽,三十人進入決賽,其中包括因為怕輸而改名黃霑的黃湛森。

比賽分成國語時代曲和歐西歌曲兩組,沒有粵語的組別。整個比賽由初賽開始,吸引了過千人參加,是城中大事。參賽者自選的招牌飲歌,反映了1960年流行聲音的向背。

那一年,黃湛森在歐西歌曲組進入最後十五名後慘被淘汰,成終生憾事。老友詹小屏二話不說,以詹小屏的聲,唱Patti Page的歌,順利奪得冠軍。

國語時代曲組得冠軍的張海韻,學古典音樂出身,唱梁樂音作的《賣糖歌》,用古典技法,唱流行之音,唱出了時代曲站在時代街角的風釆。

然後所有歌手,不論歐西國語,一起向前,行入一個叫做六十年代的新世界。

Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend

Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got
Could be alot if you pretend

You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she'll be there
You'll never be alone

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be your, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
