Good job Keith. I was barely 15 when my parents bought Frankie Cheah's first album. There was this fast number that I kept repeating it on his LP records. Forgotten its title though. And one day I broke the player's needle. So, for me, Frankie Cheah's, Cliff Richard, Beetles and Bad Company's hits were my 'coolest stuffs' then. Cheerio...
Thank you Keith for a fitting tribute to a wonderful performer and, more importantly, to a gentleman and a good friend. Frankie and I were housemates in the early 70s when I was a US Peace Corps volunteer teaching in Johor Bahru. I'm honored and delighted that Frankie and Ai Lin, my wife and I have managed to keep our friendship going over the decades, including having a wonderful reunion at his daughter's wedding. Thanks for rekindling the memories.
Thanks keith. Brings back memories of youth, segamat, segamat high school and my late friend jaswinder who was frankie's neighbor who used to feed us tales of frankie and his antics.
I was twenty when I first heard Frankie in the radio with the song called YOU it was oh very awesome. Please somebody upload that song. Now I am sixty but I still dig that song by FC.
To me Frankie is the best local talent discovered. His songs are my favourite even to this day since our college days in MTC Penang. l do not think he can remember me. Anyway all my best to him and his wife. Hope to hear more from him.
I'm looking for a Frankie Cheah song which was a top ten hit on the Malaysian charts in the mid 70s. I'm not sure of the title but I think it could be "If I could write a love song". The chorus goes "And I"ll sing sha la la la I love you, Sha la la la I need you, I ain't too good with words, But the meaning would be clear, If I could write a love song". Could someone please upload the song if you have it and also are there any Frankie Cheah cds for sale. Thanks.
My first encounter with Frankie was at a nite outing in Batu Road in the sixties where he was invited on stage to sing a song. Clearly remembered the song he sang was ONE DAY. Since then fell in love with this song and still love it till today. Hello there, if you would refresh us with that song again.
I didn't realize that I could still remember most of the lyrics! Thanks Keith - can you send me the mp3 version please. Thanks dear my email mapholiday@yahoo.com
I started listen to his songs when i was only 11 year when my parents used to play on a a cattridge player, I m looking for cd of him Frankie where can i find them,why emi not release some when they can come out frances yip ,tracy huang all asian singers with great voices,thanks 4 this,
Frankie Cheah was my school teacher in Segamat. We used to look forward to the School Talentime Contests way back then cos he would belt out Engelbert Humperdink's numbers as a guest singer. . that was before he became famous!!
Frankie was a Penang guy who was teaching in Segamat when he became famous. It was a breakthrough then to hear a full orchestra local recording. We were very proud of Frankie and what he went on to achieve in his personal and professional life. Well, at least we know where he can be found, Ah Tuan's Ee Nonya Restaurant in KL and there is even a branch in Jakarta. Thank you Frankie for the great songs. Thanks to Keith too.
@wanlat59 Thank you for watching. Surprisingly, your request for the song 'Butterfly' and Joolmk's 'Magic Eyes' are not on the 2-CD compilation "Memory Hits". Gotta ask the man himself. Maybe I'm too young to remember. But I do have 'Butterfly' covered by The October Cherries.
@tsdentist56 Hi Simon, Welcome back. It's been a while since I last heard from you. To be exact, it's been two years. Glad you remember Frankie too. I don't know about woman in your life but Frankie's greatest hit "Woman In My Life" is at the end of the four-song montage. Be patient. Listen til the end. Cheers mate.
