Christmas Songs Made In Singapore: Naomi, Thunderbirds, Quests, Stylers


UP TO 1,700 VIEWS

This posting has been rejuvenated. Merry Christmas 2023 
to all friends, readers and contributing writers.

Christmas In Style with the Stylers 
one of their best albums for the holidays.

Spend Christmas In Singapore By Listening To Christmas Songs, Singapore Style, 2021.

Christmas has always been an international holiday, with millions of people celebrating it. Songs about Christmas too can come by the hundreds of thousands and the vinyl records produced, since the time such companies were set up, could come into millions.

Singapore produced some of these records and the bands involved included, the Stylers, Quests, Naomi and the Boys, Thunderbirds, Travellers and, as the years marched on, many many more. 

I am glad to note that friend Kevin Mathews has a song in a specially made album about nine years ago, for the Rare Disorder Society entitled, Christmas Dream... with other local artistes on the list too. 

The loveliest of sights in Singapore, 
Orchard Road during Christmas.
Now in December, 2021.

Two videos below with the popular group, Sam Willows singing, I'm Gonna Be Loved This Christmas and good friend Albert Louis with Merry Christmas Singapore, a cheerfully recorded one with his group, Culture Vulture.

At this juncture and with Covid-19 still spreading, we need that Christmas dream - that the unpleasantries will end soonest.

A Merry Christmas to all.
