Another beautiful song from one of my favorite Taiwanese singer.........................

Taiwanese Songstress Fong Fei Fei 鳳飛飛 also known as the Queen of hats have captures the hearts of millions with her beautiful voice as well as her unique collection of headgear.
She is one of my favorite oldies singer from Taiwan. Not only am i a big fan of the legendary singer, i am also an avid collector of her works. i particularly like her songs from the 70s and 80s, i think some of her best work were from that time.


Here again is one of my favorite song from the Legendary singer......
鳳飛飛 - 《心裡的期待》
Apart from her vast catalogue of popular hits in Mandarin and her mother tongue Holo(Taiwanese dialect), Fong also has a good command of Japanese songs and Western music.
The 56-year-old entertainer’s success and versatility stems from her readiness to embrace the past and present.
Her interest in show business started after she won a championship in a singing competition way back in 1968,she has since then released more then 81 albums, with many of them garnering her numerous awards.

The beautiful and talented Faye Wong 王菲............................

The beautiful and talented Faye Wong 王菲 have been one of my favorite Chinese singers, from the mainland.She is believed by critics and fans alike to be one of the most commercially and artistically distinguished singers in Chinese pop music history, with a following so large and devoted that media in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China often call her the goddess or Diva of Asia.
Born in Beijing, People's Republic of China, on August 8 1969 she was originally named Xia Lin adopting her mother's maiden name because the Wong family was persecuted during the Cultural Revolution (her grandfather was a Republic of China congressman when it governed the mainland). At the age of 15, several years after the turmoil ended, her name was changed to Wong Fei.

Here is Faye Wong in her 2001 concert in Japan singing one of my absolutely favorite.....
人間 - 王菲
She often credits her mother, who was a soprano singer,for her musical talent.
The talented singer also acted in several TV shows and films, most memorably in Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express, a role that garnered her international acclaim. She also won the award for "Best Actress" at the 1994 Stockholm Film Festival.
