She is considered one of the popular and most influential singer in Chinese music. Everywhere in South-East Asia you could hear her songs being played at stores or radio etc.
She came up in the same time as Yao Su Rong came up, in Taiwan, there's some old records where they're both on that record.... And some of her records are worth serious money, a thousand dollar and more, crazy, haven't been all that lucky finding her stuff as she' still quite popular here in Indonesia too so if any records from her become available here they're very quickly picked up....
Yes around the time frame but during the 60s she is not well known. Yao Su Rong and Teresa both actually recorded under Life Records before. Teresa Teng records are also damn expensive i saw a new pressed record before in Singapore which cost 120 SGD and its picture disc. Her Polydor pressing are also highly sought after i have only one Polydor LP and 2 Life Records LP 5 Life Records EPs
Heh :) Everything I have from both of them is on the blog now.... Kinda wonder how much the Teresa Teng records that I have are worth :) It gets crazy with P. Ramlee records too, last time I was in Kuala Lumpur a few years ago they were offering his lp's, the 10" albums...starting price was 250 dollar US, those were the "cheap ones"....
P. Ramlie records are also asking a huge price. Actually malay eps in Malaysia usually costs a lot due to the rarity in Singapore i saw many of them Malay Eps cost 30SGD some to 100SGD record hunting in Asia is not really worth. European countries i seen selling as cheap as 1 euro. Garage sales also can find good copies for a reasonable price.
I discovered Teresa Teng about a year ago, and I was absolutely blown away. What a wonderful singer she was. I'm looking forward to this. Thank you.
