    Songs of Betty Pai - Farewell! Farewell!

    Betty Pai, whose ancestors lived in Dihua, Xinjiang, was born in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, and lives in a family village adjacent to the Shuiwan Air Force Base in Taichung City, Taiwan. During her high school years, she abandoned school due to her parents' divorce and went to Taipei City to participate in a singing competition, entering the show business with first place. After signing a contract with a Taiwanese television company to host a singing programme, she set a precedent for interviewing programme guests in English, Japanese and French, and was known as "the most beautiful programme host".

    On December 7, 1969, Taiwan Television (台視) broadcast a pilot of a self-produced colour television programme called "The Star Club" (群星会), which was the first live programme to be broadcast in colour in the history of Taiwanese television, and the first person to appear on the show was Betty Pai (白嘉莉) who sang "A Rose on the Long" (陇上一朶玫瑰).

    In 1977, Betty Pai married Indonesian tycoon Huang Shuang-an and left acting to pursue a new career with her husband.[6][7] Betty Pai was the first Taiwanese singer to be featured in a colour TV programme. [6][7] Betty Pai hosted The Stars.

    Betty Pai hosted classic Taiwanese TV singing programmes such as "Star Club" and "Galaxy Xuan Gong", and published five albums, including "The Wine I Can't Finish", "Lovely Stranger", "Blue Streetcar", "Goodbye in My Dreams", and "Love in My Heart".

  2. Betty Pai's song "Farewell! Farewell! (released in March 1968 by Universal Records, disc number: ULP-5049, arranged by Tsang Chung Ying) was Carrie Paik's first album, this vinyl was bought in Singapore, "Autumn Sorrows" is the song by Min Wah, "The Hate of Acacia", the following is the text of the album:

    The new star of the singing world, Betty Pai is a bright and beautiful singer, and is one of the most successful programme hosts in the entertainment industry in the province. She has been a linguistic prodigy since she was a child. During her high school years, she participated in various speech contests and was always the champion. Now she not only speaks English and Japanese fluently, but can also speak several dialects. Originally from Wujin, Jiangsu Province, she has the gentle temperament of a southern belle, and is not in the least tainted with the current habits of extravagance. Anyone who is familiar with her will admit that she is very pure and lovely. She is still only nineteen years old, the most energetic and charming age. Her slender, well-proportioned figure shows the rigorous training she has undergone, as she has worked hard at ballet and plain theatre, absorbing a wealth of dance knowledge and learning various plain theatre figures, which has given her a gracefulness that no one else can hope to match. I don't think I need to tell you more about her singing skills, so please listen to her magnetic voice and sing for you here!
