Frances Yip sings 上海灘 from 80's TV show "The Bund"

Cantopop singer Frances Yip performing the song that show her to fame ~ the theme song from the 1980 TVB action series "The Bund"... also known as Shang Hai tan or Shanghai Beach.
Thanks to "sleepyhealer", I finally found out the title and artist of this very popular cantonese pop song. (My husband always hums it to me but he didn't know where he knew it from.) We found this version on a karaoke dvd so I taped it with my camera knowing if I posted in here, someone could help me. (That's why the quality is terrible.)

It is such your kind effort that you tried to capture her live singing. I have never seen Frances Yip singing before, except the title song of the Bund. Thank you for opening my world, I really appreciate.

Go to our Channel - you can even have the Lyrics of the Shanghai Tan The Sequel - and if you have not heard Ms Yip sung in Mandarin then listen to the new one - it is very good too - 20 years more pass
