To be honest, not much had written about 李逸 in English, yours is probably the most detailed write up about him that I have read so far. I had known Lee Yee since about 1975, he and Ting Ting moved into their new house only meters from our house when they got married in mid 1975. Still remember clearly it was soon after the release of the famous concert play " 唐伯虎点秋香' and his probably most famous and popular No 3 album "唱首情歌给谁听”。 They are still thousands of fans following and listening to his music on Youtube, Facebook etc. There are up to a dozen of his fan group on social media, some boosting more than 10K members。<br />李逸和婷婷的朋友, 苏先生https://www.blogger.com/profile/01236987915784945071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-25335163136568792222022-02-04T11:54:20.128+08:002022-02-04T11:54:20.128+08:00Thank you NKCHEW for your comment.

His voice is superb, well-modulated and clear, with much feeling put into his songs. <br /><br />I enjoy some, the well-known, LOVERS' TEARS (qing ren te yen lei) and 3 YEARS (san nien). You can find them on YouTube.<br /><br />Again thanks for your feedback.

Also, am sad to hear that Lee Yee's singing career ended so early at a young age but I heard those songs in that video back then. During the 60s and 70s, I was more inclined listening to English pops and hardly know some Chinese singers. Also, we did not have the privilege of the internet then to do searches. But it's still a good idea to highlight those singers who had done well in their heyday and to share with all of us.
