Rita Chao: Butterfly [Singapore]
RITA CHAO, a very popular recording star from Singapore in the 60's and 70's, released both Mandarin and English records in Singapore and Malaysia. She also gained fans in Japan.
Ling Ying to her Mandarin-speaking fans, Rita enjoyed the accompaniment of The Quests, EMI Singapore's top band in the 60's, and together they recorded several hits for Rita.
Her fans still remember Rita Chao very fondly in her hip 60's A-Go-Go boots and miniskirts and also her bell-bottoms.
Here's Rita from 1973, performing in Mandarin, "Butterfly," a cover of Danyel Gerard's song.
This video clip made possible with help from Vernon Cheong and Georgiana Glass. This is for all fans of Rita Chao to enjoy!
The Sundowners (Singapore) - Bengawan Solo [*Audio*]
Singapore 60's Pop Music.
The SUNDOWNERS - "Bengawan Solo" (1963).
I remember staring for hours and hours at this brown box with the golden mesh, and listening to all this amazing pop music coming out.

The SUNDOWNERS comprised:
Tony Seow
Lawrence Seow

The TITBITS: I Believe [1968 (Singapore) TV Newsreel Clip]
Here is a 30-second television newsreel clip of The TITBITS from 1968. I also slowed it down to their recording of "I Believe" so you can enjoy this rare video clip a second time.
The TIDBITS were SERENE WEE (13 yrs old), her sister MERLINA WEE (12) and their cousin BERNEDETTE DE SOUZA (12).
When the three young girls won the RTS Talentime Competition of 1967/68, they created quite an excitement in Singapore. They drew crowds by the tens of thousands everywhere they made a live appearance.
They won the Finals with "I Believe." The grand prize, a recording contract with RCA. The song was released on their first EP record, backed by The Trailers.
"Tiga Serangkai," Malay for three-leaf clover.
The Stylers (Singapore) - Di Tanjong Katong - Slide Show
Music is from The STYLERS' "Visit Malaysia 1990" album.
This prolific recording group began in the 1960's and thrived through the 70's and beyond, releasing a long string of popular guitar instrumental dance music.
I found these old photos at the National Archives of Singapore website: http://picas.nhb.gov.sg/picas/public/...
The STYLERS' "Di Tanjong Katong" is perfect for this little slide show that shows life in Katong and Joo Chiat area in the early 1960's as I remember it.
Katong Beach and Joo Chiat was where I grew up in the late 50's and early 60's. The area has changed a lot since then, as the slide show also shows the neighborhood as it looks today.
My beloved Katong Beach is no longer where it used to be, but has been moved farther south.
