An all-girl group made history when they became the first ever Afro-American ladies to record it. The Shirelles did a song that hit the roof in 1960. It was written by Carole King who only recorded it in 1971. 

There were more than thirty covers sung by numerous pop singers like Andy Gibb, Bee Gees, Ben E. King, Brenda Lee, Cher, Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield, Four Seasons, Francoise Hardy, Helen Sharpiro, Linda Ronstadt, Roberta Flack, Smokey Robinson and a host of others.

But here, for the first time on YouTube, is another cover of the same song by a Singaporean whose rendition I think can hit the charts if given that golden opportunity.

Accompanied by singer/actor Mel Ferdinands on keyboard, Ms Angela Leow (images) sings, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, with so much feel it will make your heart tingle. Then you start wondering why she was never discovered earlier.

With just two days on the Net, she's garnered nearly 100 viewers. Hey you pop lady singers in SG, move over...

Come on everyone, thumbs up for Angela.

Comments too!

Ms Angela Leow asks 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?'. Yes we will. Just record more songs on YouTube.

Mel n Joe Ferdinands: My, How They've Grown!

Mel agreed to meet Andy for a personal interview but everytime they fixed a date, one of them got too busy. They had postponed it a few times but since Mel and his brother Joe would be launching their book soon, all decided that blog readers should be given a peek of the book instead. It's not out for sale yet but here's a morsel from the blurb:

"Stalwarts of the local music scene, Mel & Joe have played, sung and done it all. Household names since they first appeared on television in 1971, Mel & Joe are not only two of Singapore’s best-loved musical talents; they are living proof of our rich musical past and vibrant present.

From the early days of Talentime and the black-and-white broadcasts of RTS (Radio Television Singapore) to their glorious heyday with one of Singapore's top bands, Gypsy, they continue to rock on with passion.

Throughout their musical journey, family support – parents, siblings, wives and daughters – has been instrumental in giving them the love and inspiration that was needed to strive to continue to be the best they can be musically.

Music brings the brothers even closer, and at the same time, continues to forge a strong spirit of camaraderie that they share with their audiences.”

Did You Guess? Who's This Guy?

Why it's Willie Nelson. Did you guess? But his voice remains intact. You can always tell.
