Adeste Fideles, It Came Upon A Midnight Clear Christmas Songs With Pat Boone In Singapore

In the 60s Pat Boone is one of the biggest names in popular music and his vinyls sell so well that the record shops in North Bridge Road, Singapore will have many copies of his songs.

During the Christmas season everyone buys Pat Boone's yuletide hits because he is the epitome of the religious and loving family man. Blogger bought this second hand Long Play only a few weeks ago for S$2.00 but the songs are definitely worth more than that.

According to the sleeve, "the songs of Christmas have warmly sentimental words and melodies of grace and purity, and they are filled to overflowing with a wonderfully vibrant joy." Some songs in this album have youthful gaeity, quiet reverence and while others are ages old, some are from recent times. But "they share one magical quality; they reveal our affection for friends and neighbours who surround us."

Pat Boone sings them in his usual gentle, sincere and outgoing way. On Dot Record DLP 3222 Side One are: White Christmas, Jingle Bells, Adeste Fideles, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Silver Bells and Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town.

Side Two has: Silent Night, Oh Holy Night, Hark The Herald Angels Sing, The First Noel, I'll Be Home For Christmas, Joy To The World, and a special one, It Came Upon A Midnight Clear.
The Orchestra and chorus is Mort Lindsey's.

Teoh said...: Andy, I own this album too. I have been listening to quite a bit of Christmas songs of Jim Reeves, Pat Boone, and other singers for the past few days.; 8.12.09
ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. © said...: I am glad you are listening to Xmas songs. They will put you in the festive mood and with your year-end holiday, the season will definitely be a jolly one with your family around you. I guess Xmas songs bring people together somehow.

Nothing like the 60s Xmas songs which are sung with chorus and orchestration.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.; 9.12.09

SINGAPORE'S WESTERN, EASTERN POP MUSIC HISTORY INFLUENCE IN ENGLISH.

I fronted Singapore recording artistes, The Velvetones [Firebyrds], Swallows and Silver Strings for 2 years. Enjoyed the excitement but music is only a hobby for me and took an academic path instead. This blog serves as a MUSIC MEETING PLACE to (a) relive those years, (b) keep enthusiasts posted, (c) encourage stories from you, (d) keep our younger generation, aware of our heritage and (e) help students with term papers or information on topics. I am neither a music guru nor historian. No showing off past glories; completed BA and MA in Eng. Literature. and A. Linguistics; that's why the interest in writing. I welcome mail from readers with similar interest. This blog is neither sponsored nor advertorial or done for financial gains. Most articles, images are acknowledged. Any infringements, do inform for immediate deletion. IF YOU HAVE ARTICLES TO SHARE, PLEASE WRITE TO ME. Huang Ying [欢迎]. Sudi Mampir. நன்றி Naṉṟi. Andy.

BUBBLE GUM MUSIC & THE BAN IN SINGAPORE

Remember bubblegum music from around 1967 to 1972? Or was it bubblegum rock, bubblegum pop, or simply bubblegum. It was a genre of pops with an upbeat sound marketed to appeal to teenagers. Popular groups like 1910 Fruitgum Company, The Ohio Express and The Archies were representative of bubblegum music and the most successful bubblegum song was Sugar, Sugar. Afterwards in 1969 bubble gum singer Tommy Roe came along, sang Dizzy and it became a hit. Bubble gum too was banned in Singapore. JIMMY CHNG [DRUMMER OF DECIBELS SAID: Bubble gum music with their lively and bouncy beat can effectively perk you up whenever you're feeling glum. I believe there was a minister who made a remark in parly probably during the motion to ban the sale of chewing gum here? He likened chewing gummers to cows chewing cud! Incidentally I wonder which type of chewing gum was more popular back then - chewing gum or bubble gum?REMARKS: CLICK PIX TO READ.

A MUSIC PROF. WANTS TO MEET MANY YEARS AGO! I FORGOT! MY APOLOGIES!

find.din3 said... Dear Andy and Vincent, my music professor is interested in getting to know more information about music in the 60s and would like to meet up with both of you (separately if preferred) over coffee or lunch. Please let me know if both of you are able to meet up with him. We are both music enthusiasts and my professor has done many research in the music field and would like to expand his knowledge of music in the 1960s. Please email me at xxx.com and I will leave his contact if the meet up is possible. Thank you so much in advance. :) Cheers to furthering music education in Singapore!

EDDY ENG: ENTREPRENEUR

"His (Andy) writing is very much similar to his singing - pure, unadulterated and effortless. Even when singing pop songs he has the discernible air of a scholarly gentleman. You are a singer and writer par excellence. Your writing style is highly readable. It captures the vibrancy of youth in that era where our country was still much in the process of nation-building. Please consider to put it down for posterity in the form of an enduring print. Any scholarly research into the early days of our nationhood is not complete without this cultural dimension - the energy and vigour our youth in musical expression. If I tell you that you are such a fine gentleman, I know I am not the first or last guy to say so. Social grace and decorum are hard to come by in our frenzied society. In this sense, you are almost an extinct breed."

REFLECTING GOOD FRIDAY FROM MS. ELAINE SUNG.

MS. ELAINE SUNG [WRITTEN IN 2019]: " Good Friday took on a new meaning 13 years ago when I became a Christian. The Cross became a symbol of God’s grace poured out for me, a symbol of His love. At the Cross, Jesus Christ paid it all…cliché…but so true. The Cross is also a surety that God’s promises will be fulfilled. Our God and King is victorious and our help in ages past, we need not fear. I had the privilege of sharing God’s Word with friends this week and the Holy Spirit brought to mind that The Cross also meant Rejection, Repentance, and Restoration." CLICK PIX TO READ.

ANDY SINGS 'DIANA' N 'RED RIVER VALLEY' [YOUTUBE] - ORCHID COUNTRY CLUB

Explaining the existence of the RED RIVER VALLEY, both river and song and their origins. This blog has been rejuvenated because of additional information. Also the song Red River Valley has been made popular in Singapore in the 2000's. I have been singing a rock interpretation, one which has never been done before (correct me). Only the country n western one and the rock instrumental have been recorded by many pop artistes. I have since included the song which is on You Tube; it is the song after 'Diana' during our concert at the Orchid Country Club Singapore in 2009. Hope you all enjoy it. In appreciation of the years I spent in Winnipeg, Manitoba, near the Red River Valley. CLICK PIX TO READ N LISTEN.

ADVICE FROM JOHN CHER [SILVER STRINGS DRUMMER]

Dear Friends, Facebook or otherwise. Do visit this blog regularly. Andy Lim updates his blog very regularly and there is always something that would be of interest for those who enjoy reading about the 60s scene in Singapore and abroad. Without any professional help, Andy manages the blog entirely on his own out of sheer passion to record whatever he could of a bygone era in SG's music history. My view is that it is a more than noble task! The number of people in this country who is prepared to do something for nothing is very near to extinction and I am both proud and privileged to have in a meagre way contributed towards this entertaining blog. All the best to you in all your endeavours Andy Lim!

A LETTER FROM AN UNDERGRADUATE - 2013

''Hi Andy, I am an undergraduate student majoring in music teaching, and in the course of my studies, I was introduced to and became interested in Singapore's popular music scene in the 60s. Incidentally, "Freedom", was one of the songs played to us during our lesson. I feel really lucky that I am able read the stories of the people who wrote this song, and no less from the lead singer himself. I must thank both Byrt Mallanyk for writing about his experience and yourself for creating this blog. Sadly, as a Singaporean youth, I too share the sentiments that the valuable experiences and personal histories of the past are under-appreciated today. In fact, it had never occurred to me that Singapore actually had a popular music scene in the 60s before I learnt about them in school. I really appreciate your blog as I enjoy the stories of Singapore's music scene that would have been otherwise left undocumented. To me, the lack of awareness of Singapore's popular culture in the past is a very pertinent issue today. I have so many questions that I would like to ask you, and I'd appreciate it if I could discuss them with you via e-mail. Thank You!'' [14.2.13]

And so, I embarked on this google search for the TV program you went on and came upon this blog. I seriously had zero idea you were a celebrity, just that you love to sing a few verses here and there during classes. I'm not doing any researches nor planning to interview you on your vast knowledge on music. But would you have time for tea with me when you're free? Best Regards... [3.11.2016]'' KLIK PIX TO READ.

JOE PETERS said... Yes, it has been a long time. But I hear about you from various people as I meet them. Essentially, I commute with the region because I assist in various music programmes. Your blog is something that could become a reference point. So all I can do is to strongly encourage you to collate the necessary information and present it from your own point of view.
