Another singer is Doris Ang, and according to some enthusiasts, is popular in the late 60s. She is backed by a group called The Sandboys and recorded the EP titled, Crying In A Storm (1966). It has been pressed by Japanese singer, Emy Jackson and The Smashmen (1965) and one of the oldest J-Pop. The Quests too have accompanied Rita Chao.
The selection on this EP includes, Me The Peaceful Heart, a fast beat Lulu favourite, Simon Says by 1910 Fruit Gum Company (a late 60s bubblegum sing-a-long) and How To Catch A Boy. The recordings are in Chinese on vinyl ST 1007.
The recording of the song, in comparison to other better known vinyl recording companies is amateurish but worth listening to. It goes to show the enthusiasm of youth and the music scene in the 60s. These bands recorded not for the economic gains but for the fun and satisfaction it brought them when pop music was just surfacing then.
