Thanks for your notes. The memories of those good old childhood days triggered by these Singapore 60's classics are what make these recordings such treasures in our lives. That's also why it's always so much fun to go hunting for these treasures. You never know what you may find.
Thank you for featuring Naomi and the Boys. A Woman's World never fails to bring tear to my eyes. Your channel brings back so many beautiful memories of my childhood for me. Very good lah. The good old days, hahaha!!!

Thank you both for your messages. I must confess that during my short life in Singapore, I was too young and stupid to truly appreciate all the fabulous multicultural and multilingual entertainment that was available to all Singaporeans in the 1960's. I think I was too obsessed with listening to the English language pop songs and I did not pay much attention to the Chinese and Malay pop songs that were also playing on the radio and all over the neighbourhood. A little regret about that now, looking back.
I do like The Stylers very much and I have some of their music. Not much, though. Just enough for me to regard The Stylers as one of my all-time favourite guitar instrumental bands.
I recalled attending Wang Ching Ying's show at a local nightclub a few years ago. Fans presented bouquets of flowers to him and affectionately addressed him as Big Brother Wang. He is still very popular with his following of fans. Others in this category included Lin Seow, Ching Wai, The Travellers, Silver Stones etc.
Ever consider uploading one of his video clips on You Tube ? You may be surprised with the level of support from his fans, probably in the same scale as Rita Chao's "Butterfly".
Regards,
Back then in the 60's, many of our local Mandarin Singers were hitting the airwave too. Singers like Wong Ching Yian, Chang Siao Ying, Lena Lim etc should be credited for shifting the attention away from those from Taiwan and Hongkong. Well after so many decades, just wonder whether they are still performing
on occassions.
The most popular music backing group at that time must be " The Stylers". A very talented group of musician who provided the music for many of the singers then.
Regards
from Taiwan and Hongkong.
Thanks to YouTube, the world is just starting to see there is beautiful music in other parts of the world than where one lives. What better ways than YouTube to introduce Singapore and Malaysia 60's Pop Music and the incredible Indonesian krungkong music?
Indonesia is a sleeping giant. About 240 million people and over 17,500 islands, and practically unknown to most of the Western world.
The Internet has opened up the world. There are already many Indonesian songs and music clips uploaded at YouTube, a sure sign that Indonesia is stirring. Her arts and cultural contributions will make an even bigger impact than the earthquakes and tsunamis that are always hitting that country.
Check out The Mercys on YouTube.
What a wonderful time it was for the music of the 60's and 70's back here then. Besides our Singapore and Malaysian singers, some from our neighbouring country Indonesia also contributed to our local pop scene. Singers like Ernie Johan, Titiek Sandhora, Broery ,Bob Totupoli and others were popular. I still can recall vividly one english song "Gone gone gone" by The Mercy's from Indonesia. It was quite popular over the RTM network then. Well, never been able to hear this song again for the past 30+ years.
Regards
The Blue Diamonds, brothers Ruud and Riem de Wolff, performed in Singapore in 1960, winning many fans with their distinctive harmony.
I was very young at that time, so I did not go to that concert. But I remember my first Blue Diamonds record. It was "Mary's Boy Child" on one side and "Oh Carol" on the other. Oh, how I loved that record. It was an epiphany for this young boy in Singapore in the early 1960's to watch that record go around and around and to read their name, "The Blue Diamonds," on the label.
