Truly great during that decade!



[Shoknifeman]

I like this better than the American original! ^_^

[fhlew]

Singapore's version / song is different from American's.

[Shoknifeman]

@fhlew - Well, there are a few words difference , but, it's otherwise pretty much the same song ; either way, I like this one better :D

[fhlew]

Cheers !!!

[Shoknifeman]

@fhlew - Just remember , she's got to be close to 70 by now! :D haha

[fhlew]

Yes, if Susan Lim is still alive.

Susan Lim was picnicking of the East Coast of Malaysia when she disappeared on Feb 8 1970, presumably drowned. The untimely and tragic accidental drowning of Susan in 1970 ended a wonderful recording career and partnership.

@fhlew - oh, how very sad :( (Terrible end for such a beautiful and talented girl )

[fhlew]

Yes! What a pity.

@fhlew

Was she the original singer of this song? I remember Rita Chao did a Mandarin version The Quest on EMI Columbia label EP equally good. She and Sakura Teng were the undisputed A-go-go queens of the 60& 70s.

[fhlew]

If I'm not wrong, The Boy Next Door is an original song from The Crescendos.

[Shoknifeman]

@fhlew Actually, the original (1963) was done by a group called THE SECRETS, from Philadelphia, USA. Written and produced by their friends, John Madara and David White, best known for their song "At the Hop";

The Creshendos covered it, later the same year.

[fhlew]

Thank you, Shoknifeman !  Sheer good work! Appreciate it very much.

[Shoknifeman]

@fhlew NP, but, I like this one better than the original, so its all good

[fhlew]

Anyway, thanks again!

[Shoknifeman]

@fhlew YW :)

[fhlew]

Correction! The Boy Next Door is an original song from US group, The Secrets.
