?? Yao Li#36064

??? The Silver Voice

      Yao Lee (??)  (1922-) was born Yao Xiu-Yun (???) in Shanghai.  With her older brother Yao Min (??) an sister Yao Ying (??), the young siblings established a successful performing career in 1930s Shanghai calling themselves Da Tong She (???).  The Trio hosted their own raio show and before long Yao Li was discovered by Yen Hua (??), a popular film star and composer.  Yen invited the young Yao Li to duet with him in her first recording, "The Cowherd" (????),  and was so impressed he then composed for her a song that would turn out to be her first major hit record, "Pledging My Love" (???).  The success of the record resulted in a contract for her with the prestigious Pathe Record Company.  In 1940 Yao Li guest-starred in a film called The Wandering Songstress (????) starring Zhou Xuan.  In the film, Yao performed  "Rose, Rose I Love You" (???????).  The immense popularity of this song confirmed her status as one of the great singers in the Chinese speaking world.  

In 1950 Yao Li moved to Hong Kong with her family.  Initially she recorded with the newly founded Great Wall Record Company (?????), but rejoined Pathé when the label resumed recording upon establishing itself on the island.  By this time, her brother Yao Min had also relocated to Hong Kong where he was to achieve even greater success as a composer.

In the early days, Yao Li had emulated the singing style of her idol, Zhou Xuan, and as a result was known as "The Silver Voice", to Zhou's "Golden Voice."  During her time in Hong Kong, she matured as a performer and her voice took on a richer, deeper tone, influenced by American singer Patti Page.   In this new style she recorded a string of cover versions of Western songs; scoring with "You Belong to Me"??????, "Changing Partners"??????, "That's Amore"???????, "River of No Return"?????? and "You Don't Know Me"???????.  At the same time she was also releasing Mandarin originals that sold extremely well.  

In 1956 She was asked to dub the vocals for Actress Zhong Qing (??) in The Peach Blossom River (???), a small budget musical which, to everyone's surprise, broke all box office records.  Further film dubbing work followed with Yao Li supplying the vocals, her brother the music, and lyricist Chen Die-Yi (???) the words, resulting in the trio being known as The Iron Triangle (???).   The hits from the film musicals that emerged from this partnership were numerous, including "Moonlight Duet" (????) "The Spring Wind Kisses My Face" (???????), "Standing on the Hilltop"  (?????) and "Life is a Play" (?????), propelling Yao Li's career even further.  

Her career and perennial popularity now exceed seven decades and hundreds of recordings, eaisly securing her place as one of the most important figures in the history of Mandarin popular song (???).  We are extremely honored to have her support for this CD release and thankful to her for choosing the songs featured here and for the loan of photographs from her personal collection.  With your support we remain committed to the preservation of thee vintage recordings and making them available to the fans.
