    Kok Sok Fong was one of Malaysia's most famous singers in the 1970s, and was voted one of Malaysia's top ten singers in a national poll organised by Kwang Hwa Daily in 1975. She was one of the most popular female singers in the Dah Luen Organization at that time, with a beautiful singing voice and a tall and pretty face, she had a lot of fans. I remember her cover of the song "I miss you a lot" was a sensation at that time, sang very charmingly and had a high radio hit rate.

    Some Back Grounds
    In the 1960s, many saw the lucrative business potential in the local Chinese pop music market which led to a mini boom in the industry. Small recording companies sprouted, attracting many aspiring singers. By the 1980s, Singapore rivalled Taiwan as the Mandarin pop capital in Asia, with its quality recording and production facilities.

    As someone who prefers Crazy Horse to Neil Young, I'm interested in the backing band.
