Back in '76 this guy was the bomb!
From the mid 60's to 90's Sam Hui was the King of Hong Kong's Pop & Film Scene. After China as we know it was formed in '49. Most of the Composers, Lyricists & Musicians packed they're bags and took off for Hong Kong. The Beatles arrived in 1964 and the demand for a local pop scene sprung. Canto-Pop arrived ! The music produced in Hong Kong flowed to SouthEast Asia and soon became a phenomenon. "The Golden Era" of the 80's saw producers covering Japanese songs with Chinese Lyrics. Partnered with Karaoke culture, and The HK Pop beast was unleashed - wonderfully syrupy maudlin pop-tasia!
