Not too many people are keen with this Saint and Singapore connection but I'm grateful to you all for more connections.<br /><br />I have inserted the LESLIE CHARTERIS, Singapore connection = Thanks to Horace Wee.<br /><br />I could not get the PEGGY TANN recording but = Thanks to Henri Gann.<br /><br />I was given the LISA PATTIS connection and have just put it up. =Thanks to Dr Steve Farram.<br /><br />The Lara recording is posted elsewhere a few years ago. I shall connect it to this posting too.<br /><br />Looks like Roger Moore and especially James Bond will live forever.<br /><br />Research helps and it all came from my good friends. I've met all three personally, STEVEN, HORACE and HENRI, in that order.<br /><br />Thanks again.ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-56083954679565464882017-08-02T11:07:58.041+08:002017-08-02T11:07:58.041+08:00Hi Andy,

After The Saint he was also in a show with Tony Curtis for a few years in the early 70s called The Persuaders. Did you get that one in Singapore?<br /><br />You Only Live Twice was cut as an instrumental by The Trailers, but they also backed singer Lara doing the vocals in Chinese (Mandarin, I think). <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ-LPNw-btU<br /><br />And ex-pat Lisa Pattis also recorded it in Singapore. <br /><br />https://www.discogs.com/Lisa-Pattis-You-Only-Live-Twice/release/3076523<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-84910729033764509092017-08-01T19:46:39.098+08:002017-08-01T19:46:39.098+08:00Leslie Charteris (12 May 1907 – 15 April 1993), bo...Leslie Charteris (12 May 1907 – 15 April 1993), born Leslie Charles Bowyer-Yin, was a British-Chinese author of adventure fiction, as well as a screenwriter. He was best known for his many books chronicling the adventures of the charming anti-hero Simon Templar, alias "The Saint."<br /><br />Charteris was born in Singapore to a Chinese father, Dr S. C. Yin (Yin Suat Chwan, 1877–1958), and his wife Lydia Florence Bowyer, who was English. His father was a physician, who claimed to be able to trace his lineage back to the emperors of the Shang Dynasty.chakap chakapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-34465361615956375872017-08-01T19:26:16.380+08:002017-08-01T19:26:16.380+08:00How can ST comment on the Saint when he is also Th...How can ST comment on the Saint when he is also The Saint (ST) Song Teck.

The ones that had cousins Bau and Brent were never shown here. Don't know why!<br /><br />PS: Would have been nice to watch.MICHAEL BANGAR (RHYTHMIST SILVER STRINGSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-77457973318211303592017-08-01T14:58:43.331+08:002017-08-01T14:58:43.331+08:00An interesting writeup on Roger Moore, one of my f...An interesting writeup on Roger Moore, one of my favorite 007. And, I like what you wrote about the "Singapore girls adore men with blue eyes and worship them like gods." Is that why<br />Peggy Tann, Singapore's legendary jazz pianist, had included 2 Bond tunes ( You Only Live Twice and Casino Royale ) in her Lps. Whatever the reason, it was definitely a sign of the time and she was surely greeted with applause from her ladies fan when she played the Bond movie themes at the tea dances.henri gannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610861099580326249noreply@blogger.com
