乐单介绍
高胜美（1969年1月27日—），台湾原住民布农族女歌手，曾拿下第4届金曲奖最佳国语歌曲女演唱人奖。
简介
高胜美是1980年代出道的台湾原住民歌手，但当时台湾社会歧视原住民观念甚深，所以她一直到1990年代后期张惠妹出道，把原住民浪潮推向高峰，大家慢慢对原住民有不一样的想法，原住民歌手的接受度也增高许多后，才承认自己有原住民血统。作为比张惠妹更早出道的原住民歌手，高胜美红极一时，曾唱红了多部八点档连续剧主题曲等，有“高八点”之称，也是原住民歌后级人物。
高胜美母亲为高雄县桃源乡布农族人，以父系社会来说，她不算很严谨的原住民。小时候并没有得到原住民该有的优惠及补贴。高家有四个小孩，高胜美为幺女。一到五岁随父母在高雄县凤山市四处租屋，后搬至高雄县冈山镇德南村保安警察第五总队宿舍，冈山国中第27届毕业。高胜美前往台北市投靠在秀场当小歌星的姐姐高芊𬞟。18岁那年，台北市新成立的上格唱片招考歌手，高胜美陪朋友前去应试；没想到那天，高胜美的朋友很紧张，所以唱得不理想，还当场哭了；上格唱片老板吕燕清见高胜美外型不错，便邀请她试试看。从此，高胜美正式踏上歌坛，成为上格唱片签下的第一位歌星。1985年，上格出品高胜美首张专辑《缘》。短短几年间，高胜美就成为台湾歌坛炙手可热的明星；上格也随高胜美由老板吕燕清、美工萧青阳外加一位企划的三人小公司，茁壮成为台湾主要唱片公司之一。高胜美与演员高尹辰的母亲为姊妹。
高胜美于1977年（8岁）在高雄市参加歌唱比赛获得季军；又曾在华视训练中心歌唱训练班学习了2年的歌唱，1992年荣获第4届金曲奖最佳国语歌曲女演唱人奖。她曾多次主唱琼瑶小说改编电视剧《青青河边草》、《哑妻》、《三朵花》、《望夫崖》、《海鸥飞处彩云飞》的歌曲，及台视《新白娘子传奇》片头曲、中视《一代皇后大玉儿》片头曲等曲目，备受瞩目。
1980年代，高胜美从演绎老式情歌闻名，她的演唱既有较早期台湾女歌手的韵味，又吸取了1930年代上海女歌手的温婉甜美。
之后高胜美转往中国大陆发展，以供养在台北的房子跟父母。一度在上海古北置产，接受媒体采访时，曾经表示后悔太晚才进入中国大陆市场，“这里像我第2个家，环境和气候都像台北，走路去买东西也方便。”
直至2016年，久未在台湾露面的高胜美在第51届金钟奖担任表演嘉宾，除了演唱经典八点档电视剧主题曲外，还与新生代饶舌歌手熊仔、以及无解乐团以【跨世代戏剧交响曲】主题代表世代交替合唱，前所未见的合作颇受多数网络乡民好评。

Sammi Kao (Chinese: 高勝美, Bunun: Malas Kao; born 27 January 1969) is a Taiwanese singer. In 1992, she won the Best Female Mandarin Singer at the 4th Golden Melody Awards for her album Selected Classics 1.
Early life
Kao was born on 27 January 1969 in Fengshan, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Her father was a member of the special police. She is the youngest of four children. Her family moved around Fengshan until she was 5, when they settled in Gangshan.
After graduating from Kaohsiung Municipal Gangshan Junior High School, she joined her older sister, also a singer, in Taipei to pursue a music career. In 1987, she accompanied a friend to audition for the newly-formed recording company What's Music. The executive noticed her and asked her to audition as well. The company ended up signing her as their first singer.
Career
In 1987, she released her first album Yuan.
In 1988, her album Speak of My Dream gained popularity in both Taiwan and Mainland China. The album Where Seagulls Fly, Colorful Clouds Fly was published in February 1989.
In December 1992, she released a theme song for the TV series New Legend of Madame White Snake, "Waiting For A Thousand Years", which was particularly popular.
In 1992, she won Best Female Mandarin Singer at the 4th Golden Melody Awards for her compilation album Selected Classics 1.
In the late 80s and early 90s, Kao recorded the themes to several TV shows adapted from Chiung Yao's romance novels, such as the song "Where Seagulls Fly, Colorful Clouds Fly." Chiung once asked Kao to play the lead in her show, but she declined by saying "[she's] afraid that acting would distract her from singing at full strength". Since 8 p.m. is a popular prime time block for which she had frequently appeared, she earned the nickname "Eight o'clock Kao".
In June 2005, she held a solo concert in Beijing.
In 2016, she performed at the 51st Golden Bell Awards. Besides singing classic TV show theme songs, she also performed with Kumachan, Bii, and No Solution.
