First, write songs.
The composition of this song is very smooth. 1984, Huang Yihe, the director of the Spring Festival Gala, suddenly felt that there was no decent ending song in the Spring Festival Gala, so he found a famous lyricist, Mr. Qiao Yu, and asked him to write a Spring Festival Gala poem for himself.
At that time, director Huang Yihe told Qiao Yu his own requirements, saying that the content of this poem must be to sing about the motherland, say goodbye to the audience, and show a feeling of reluctance.
Qiao Yu was quickly inspired by Huang Yihe's request for lyrics, and he finished writing the lyrics in two days.
But words are not enough, you have to add music. So Huang Yihe and Qiao Yu found the famous songwriter Wang Ming at that time. After getting this lyric poem, Elvis Presley thought for a long time before writing it.
Second, Li Guyi sings.
Huang Yihe is very excited about this written song. He quickly found the famous singer Li Guyi at that time and asked her to sing this song.
However, before the song was recorded, it was opposed by other TV station leaders, because everyone thought that the tune of the song was sad and soft, and it was not suitable for singing at the Spring Festival Evening.
At that time, many leaders thought that the Spring Festival Gala should end with a cheerful rhythm, but director Huang Yihe didn't think so. He thinks this song is beautiful. Although it is sad, it expresses the truth that the feast must end. Only sentimental mood can make people unforgettable for a long time.
Huang Yihe said that if this song is sung at the Spring Festival Gala, people will have a deeper impression on the Spring Festival Gala, so director Huang Yihe insisted that Li Guyi finish the recording of this song.
Third, what is my opinion?
I think this song is very successful both in lyrics and composition. This song was very popular with the audience as soon as it was sung, and it became the reserved repertoire of the Spring Festival Evening. It has been performed and sung at the Spring Festival Gala for more than ten times in a row, and it has been well received by everyone.
Summary: Unforgettable Tonight was written in 1980s. At that time, people's recognition of this beautiful song was not high. This song was written in 1984 and later sung by Li Guyi.
