Rowena Ng - 4

Ng Ming Sin started singing English songs as Rowena 鳴茜. She recorded under Diamond Records with slow and haunting romantic ballads like Sweetheart tree, Moment to moment, If you were the only boy, Crying in the chapel and Shadow of your smile. Her wide appeal on HK Rediffusion TV and expansive repertoire (incl. Mandarin and Cantonese songs) would make her a popular playback singer in various Chinese movies like the song 青年人的夢 (Dreams of the youth) in 小雲雀 The lark (1965) and the theme song of 公子多情 (My darling wife) (1965). Rowena Ng left show business in the 70’s and is now retired in Canada.

(SWEETHEART TREE)
Come along with me to the sweetheart tree
And your love will be true evermore
They say there’s a tree in the forest
A tree that will give you a sign
Come along with me to the sweetheart tree
Come and carve your name next to mine
They say if you kiss the right sweetheart
The one you’ve been waiting for
Big blossoms of white will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore
Come along with me to the sweetheart tree
And your love will be true evermore
They say if you kiss the right sweetheart
The one you’ve been waiting for
Big blossoms of white will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore

The Lotus (with Sam Hui)

July 10, 2009

The Lotus - 1

They were called Bar Six but renamed as The Lotus after Sam Hui joined as lead vocalist in 1966. They were signed by Diamond Records and recorded “Just a little” which became a hit in Hong Kong in 1967. They became the hosts of the popular TV program for TVB called The Star Show. After the group disbanded , Sam Hui continued as a solo act and released the very successful “Time of The Season” with Polydor in 1971. (When the mood and taste of music shifted in HK, Sam Hui started singing in Chinese, popularizing Canto-pop by the fusion of Cantonese with Western popular music.)

The Lotus: Sam Hui (lead vocals, acoustic & electric guitar), Wallace Chow (lead guitar), Albert Lee (rhythm guitar), Danny So (bass), David Cheung (drums).

(JUST A LITTLE)
I can’t stay, yes I know
You know I hate to go
So goodbye, love was sweet
Our worlds can never meet

Can’t you see how I feel
When I say love’s unreal
But goodbye, it’s been sweet
Even though incomplete

Every night I still hear
All your sighs very clear
Now love’s gone, gone away
As I once heard you say

* So I’ll cry just a little ’cause I love you so
And I’ll die just a little ’cause I have to go away
