香港向來是傳統的粵劇重鎮，1949年之後，因為政治動盪，紅伶戲班更多以港為基地，粵劇粵曲人材，新老結合，陣容鼎盛。很快，香港轉型，粵曲粵樂跟著轉型，它走的路，跟新興的電聲媒體，息息相關。

首先，部份粵劇團隊藝人因為市場相對興旺，加上拍電影容易帶來收益，而表現因循，演藝停滯不前。

同樣條件，卻促使另一部份團隊藝人，借助電台和電影的技術和平台，鑽研粵劇演藝。他們刻意發掘新興電聲媒體的潛力，積極灌錄唱片和製作電影，並因應這些媒體的特性，創造新的表演美藝，延續自三十年代已經開始的粵劇現代化改革。

黃湛森自幼多聽粵曲、常看粵劇，在舞台、銀幕和大氣電波，透過紅線女、馬師曾、任白和唐滌生等人的傾情演出，親身體會粵劇現代化的細藝和感動。

All for the Love of a Girl (1959)

Composer: Johnny Horton
Lyricist: Johnny Horton
Vocalist: Johnny Horton

Well, today I'm so weary
Today I'm so blue
Sad and broken hearted
And it's all because of you

Life was so sweet dear
Life was a song
Now you've gone and left me
Oh where do I belong?

And it's all for the love
Of a dear little girl
All for the love
That sets your heart in a whirl

I'm a man who'd give his life
And the joys of this world
All for the love of a girl

And it's all for the love
Of a dear little girl
All for the love
That sets your heart in a whirl

I'm a man who'd give his life
And the joys of this world
All for the love of a girl
