Like Ernie Djohan and many other Singaporean, Malaysian and SE Asian singing stars of the sixties, NANCY SIT KA YIN (薛家燕), was a big name in Cantopop. She became popular as a teen idol after making a few Hong Kong movies in Cantonese.She made some EP's, recording A-Go-Go or Hala Hala music similar to songs by Sakura Teng, Rita Chao and other Chinese singers. She also became popular because of her recordings of English covers.
Nancy had since made a successful comeback on television and the movies up to the late 90's but was admitted to hospital in March, 2009. She had performed in Singapore and Malaysia a number of times and commanded a good following on the island.
Nancy has always been comfortable when she comes to Singapore and has many friends here. At her age today, she still packs a punch with her singing. Nancy is in her late sixties and celebrates her birthday at the end of March.

Hope nothing serious with her health.She would be much cheered to know that many still remember her fondly.
Yes, there are blogs about her hospitalization recently. Just key in: NANCY SIT HOSPITALISED.
I start to know her from hk drama and realise she sang well.
I like her personality which she portraits herself as cheerful and friendly.
I have started to see her movies since primary schooldays, until now her Hong Kong dramas & movies...Nancy Sit's forever with that so sweet loving face and still so active too. Good article Andy.
Ah yes I forgot to mention together with Fung Po Po, these 2 were my childhood favourite Hong Kong stars 😊
My wife has a picture taken with the young Nancy Sit.She did a good version of “Unchain My Heart”during her younger days.
