Historical significance of the eraThe album features works by legendary musicians such as Joseph Koo,James Wong,Richard Lam,and Lo Kwok-chan. Among them,"A Voice" was the theme song for the District Council elections at the time,profoundly reflecting the social development background of Hong Kong and possessing high documentary and sentimental value.
