香港向来是传统的粤剧重镇，1949年之后，因为政治动荡，红伶戏班更多以港为基地，粤剧粤曲人材，新老结合，阵容鼎盛。很快，香港转型，粤曲粤乐跟着转型，它走的路，跟新兴的电声媒体，息息相关。

首先，部份粤剧团队艺人因为市场相对兴旺，加上拍电影容易带来收益，而表现因循，演艺停滞不前。

同样条件，却促使另一部份团队艺人，借助电台和电影的技术和平台，钻研粤剧演艺。他们刻意发掘新兴电声媒体的潜力，积极灌录唱片和制作电影，并因应这些媒体的特性，创造新的表演美艺，延续自三十年代已经开始的粤剧现代化改革。

黄湛森自幼多听粤曲、常看粤剧，在舞台、银幕和大气电波，透过红线女、马师曾、任白和唐涤生等人的倾情演出，亲身体会粤剧现代化的细艺和感动。

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
