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。

Misty (1960)

Composer: Erroll Garner
Lyricist: Johnny Burke
Vocalist: Julie London

Look at me
I’m as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I’m clinging to a cloud
I can’t understand
I get misty holding your hand

Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you’re near

You can say that you’re leading me on
But it’s just what I want you to do
Don’t you realize how hopelessly I’m lost
That’s why I’m following you

On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I get misty and too much in love

On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I am too misty and too much in love
