The third singer is Lisa Lim, who recorded under Precious Urn, a well-known label offering mostly Chinese melodies and once owned by Roxy Music Company at North Bridge Road..
Her choice is the well-known golden pair combination of Guantanamera and San Francisco with Patches (1962), a song about teenage tragedies by Dickey Lee and The Last Waltz (1967) by Engelbert Humperdinck.
.
These four songs are totally different in rendition and Lisa Lim has a knack for providing a special feel for each one. It is difficult to ascertain if she really carries some of these songs but they are oldy goodies. (Image: KEP 522).
.
She has also pressed other covers on Amigo Records with The Stylers and the songs include, Nobody's Child, Proud Mary, Fraulein and I'll Never Fall In Love Again. Quite a repertoire with Proud Mary being in a different category altogether. Lisa Lim sings in Cantonese and has a high powerful voice to sing this selection.
.
Ronnie See and his New Burns may sing his own version of Patches during the Orchid Country Club gig in July, 2009.
