A Classic performance................................

Famous in the 60s and 70s and a superstar in Japan, Taiwanese singer / actress Tang Lan-Hwa will definitely be remember along with Teresa Teng as some of the greatest stars from Taiwan during that period. Most Chinese parents will recognize her name. I still have some old VHS tapes of some of her movies that my dad had when we were growing up as kids. Here she is in a scene from the movie "Jilted" The movie that made Tang Lan Hwa an overnight sensation, performing one of my absolute favorite classic Chinese songs called, I am by your side............... 我在你左右 She sang all but one song in the sound track.

Although this was not my time, but there is something about this time and the way Tang lan-Hwa sings that just makes you want to be there. The lyrics to the song is so simple and endearing, No wonder my dad loved it. A lot of memory! Teng Lan Hwa is now a devout Christian

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.
