When I messaged Stephen to ask if I could post his interesting story from Facebook he immediately relented. He's been a regular feature on this blog.
Mr and Mrs Stephen Han.
"Keep posting your blogs cause without them
it’s a little boring during the lockdown."
Thanks again Stephen for your cute little anecdote which many seniors from the 60's could have experienced i.e., the antics of Tan Swee Leong and Larry Lai when they were forever on stage at the Odeon Cinema in town, giving off their best with their comedic chats and flawless spoken English.
Forward the clock and read what happened in 2002.
A different venue though.
Stephen Han on stage carried by Vernon and Jay during the show "Colour Me 60's". The National Heritage Board organized the “Colour Me 60's Show“ at Raffles City Singapore in 2002. This act featured local singers, Jay Shotam and Vernon Cornelius, radio and TV personalities, Tan Swee Leong and Larry Lai and one half of the famous Blue Diamonds, Riem de Wolfe. Brian Richmond was there too and while he was interviewing Tan Swee Leong, the subject of the “Yes/No contest was brought up. Five volunteers were called up on stage to try and beat the master, Swee Leong by refraining in a little game to say, “Yes and No” when he posed some questions. I happened to be the last one. The first person was floored when he said, “Yes”to the first question posed. The next three contestants did not fare well too.
When it was my turn , I felt excited and a little nervous. I had to psyche myself not to use the forbidden “Yes/No” answer . I did well by not mentioning the banned words for sometime.
As the game carried on after a long while, I was caught saying, “Yes “when Swee Leong asked whether I like my sons. I thought I had lost, but Larry Lai came up and said I had beaten (exceeded) the five-minute mark. I was elated and happy and was able to defeat the master of this “Yes /No “ game😊.

Larry Lai (left) and Tan Swee Leong when they were at Rediffusion Singapore in the 1960's as Disc Jockeys and compering shows all over the island. Swee Leong (right) passed away a few years ago. He was also a very good pianist and a generous friend. You can check them out almost everywhere on this blog. Cheers.
Jay Shotam passed away on 4th October 2019 Age 71 Lead singer, composer, songwriter and bass guitarist/keyboardist with The Surfers and The October Cherries with several music albums to his credit. A loving husband and father, he leaves behind his immediate family, relatives, friends, and fans to mourn his loss.
Tribute From Stephen Han: I remember the Surfers, with Jay Shotam in the lead, were always practising their songs in a book shop opposite the former Amber Mansion. My house was facing the back of this shop and I enjoyed the music played.
However, someone who stayed at the Cathay Building and didn't appreciate music complained to the police that the noise was a nuisance. As the Surfers were playing within the eleven pm hour they were only told to lower their volume.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jay again at a concert organised by the National Heritage Board in 2002 at Raffles City. The Back To The 60s Show also featured Riem De Wolff (The Blue Diamonds), Vernon Cornelius, Larry Lai, Silah Kassim, and Tan Swee Leong.
Jay Shotam was an easy-going guy and I'm glad to have met him. RIP Jay.
Written by Jay Shotam and Peter Diaz. Peter sings 'Far Away Now' with the October Cherries. Thank you. This tribute is written in good faith with positive intention. If there is any objection, please write on the comment page and the post will be deleted immediately. Thank you.
Peter Diaz read a copy of my posting about '60s Music Aging Pop Stars And Their Book Biographies'. Since he did a biography too (available on Kindle) I agreed to post his summary on the book.
Peter echoed that 60s musicians are all getting on, "Well, I for one, certainly am but I am quite contented with my lot and very grateful to God for the blessings bestowed upon me. You take good care mate. Best regards.
So You Want To Be In A Rock Band: Peter Diaz (Published 2017) "Singaporean musician Peter Diaz recounts with panache and unbeatable positivity his career as a rock musician in this laugh-out-loud autobiography, "So You Want to Be in a Rock Band".
Focusing on his remarkable career as singer/songwriter/guitarist with the October Cherries in the late 1960s and 1970s, Diaz writes for today’s generation of budding rock stars about the trials and tribulations of being a musician in Singapore and going on to seek fame in Europe during the flower-power period of social change and nation-building.
Peter Diaz EPK (Electronic Press Kit): A short video by students from SAE Institute Singapore, pursuing their Diploma in Audio Engineering, featuring a local musician.
With charm and unfailing humor, he describes early days at school when he self-learned three chords on the guitar and then “found” others. As a teen, he competed in a Malaysian Talent Time contest – the equivalent of The Voice or You’ve Got Talent. The experience was exhilarating and rather than “become something” as his dad orders, Peter leaves home (in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) in search of a career in music with fame, fortune and Ferraris (did they even have those back then?) in Singapore, 1967, with $20 in his pocket and no address of relatives to stay with.
With no family to make life easy, and after a brief “career” selling Encyclopaedia Britannica door-to-door (4 sets sold, although 2 orders cancelled!), by luck he auditions and joins The Surfers – later renamed the October Cherries and embarks on 6 years in the band with all of the ups and downs that comes with being young, “wet behind the ears”, naïve – really naïve, rock enthusiasts driven by testosterone and determined to make it big.
And make it big they do. First as The Surfers, then as the October Cherries, the foursome signed with EMI Records and saw huge regional fame with hits including “Far Away Now”, “Beautiful Sunday” and “All Things Work for Good to them that Love God” (is that a title, or what?). With a wonderful eye for detail and hilarious turn of phrase, Peter describes the band’s beautiful successes and devastating failures in Bangkok, Tokyo, Singapore and Malaysia, and then their attempts to take their psychedelic rock music straight into “the lion’s den” of London, the UK in 1971.
Without a Plan A or B, the Cherries end up living in Belgium where EMI Records signs them to four albums. But not before almost starving, living off Leo chocolate and driving all the way to St. Tropez for a gig that isn’t booked! The craziness of their gung-ho optimism and how serendipity keeps them intact endears the reader to Peter’s unflagging optimism and inspires today’s music hopefuls and anyone who remembers “old-school” items such as “vinyl records” and even CDs!
Even though the band’s rock style is influenced by the Beatles and other psychedelic groups of the late sixties, the Cherries never aspired to the drug-taking, booze-drinking, sex-crazed stereotype of rock musicians. Instead, we get to know four dedicated young men whose biggest transgression is growing their hair beyond their collars – learning the ropes of life, love and music as they go. On tour in Karachi, Pakistan, they even learn to keep playing the same song 20 times for a gang of gun-wielding drug lords until said drug lords are too drunk to yell for another encore!
From near-death experiences in the skies and hanging out of a toilet window, to dealing with a tour gone wrong in India, Peter tells it like it really was to be a rock band in the sixties and seventies. You couldn’t make this stuff up!"
(I grant Andy Lim my permission to post the Amazon Website where my Kindle book 'So you Want To Be In A Rock Band' can be found. Thank you for helping me to publicise my book.) Thanks very much Peter for sharing. I hope readers will buy a copy to experience what you did as a rock singer those years.
A smartphone SMS communication dialogue becomes a publication piece. I must thank Richard Khan of the October Cherries for this short article about the above vinyl. This recording was done during the early years of the October Cherries. As it stands this particular vinyl sold reasonably well but the songwriting and recording, according to percussionist Richard Khan, got better with *Dreamseller (image below right). Please Love Me and I'll Wait was produced in 1969 after the group came back from their first stint in Bangkok. They left EMI changed their names from The Surfers to October Cherries and manager Bal hired a studio and each one took charge of recording.
Richard remembered coming up with the drumbeat for Please Love Me while he was walking with Jay Shotam, vocalist and bassist, singing the first verse on the way. This incident happened near the Orchard area, very close to the Istana around Penang Road. They also made new suits with high collars for the occasion which they donned for the sleeve cover (image).

Beside Jay Shotam on bass guitar, Benny Siow and Peter Diaz with their respective lead and rhythm, Richard on drums, other musical objects were used as they were quite experimental during the recording sessions.I'll Wait turned out to be a hit, especially in Malaysia.

Today is 17.7.17. Here's a special posting from Michael Bangar. I would like to thank him again for writing this series. He's just as good with his essays as he is on his guitar. Thank you, Mike: While the music revival was going on in the UK, far far away on this little sunny island we call Singapore; brewing in this huge melting pot was our early 60's, bands. Getting active were The Quests, The Silver Strings, The Trailers, The Dukes, The Checkmates, The Thunderbirds, Mike and The Mysterians, Sunny Bala and The Moonglows (of which I was in the lineup in Sunny B's last phase of the band, before his passing.) In actuality, there were many other active bands to name. Along with these bands came other artistes too. The Van Dort brothers Mike and Herb, The Choy Brothers James and Siva, Keith Locke, Wilson David, Paul (Winston) Cheong, Vernon Cornelius, Winston Walters, Brian Neal, Bobby Lambert, Stevie Lorraine, Sakura Teng, Rita Chao and the list go on.
As a school boy, I used to watch all these stars perform at as many of their shows as I could afford at that age. It meant saving as much of my school cake money to buy the tickets. Concerts were held at the old National Theatre, Victoria Memorial Hall, the Singapore Badminton Hall and even in some school halls.
"Bobby Lambert and the Dukes, featuring Ahmad Murad Bin Sulaiman, Zainal Abidin Bin Sulaiman, Richard Young and Zainal Abidin Bin Akib. Their first record release included titles like First Bend In The River, Rave On, False Alarmand Day Dream, the last two being instrumentals."
For me, these concerts had much influence on my life as a musician. I used to go to watch these shows with eager anticipation and excitement all inside me. I thoroughly enjoyed them. Then in the late 60's and early 70's, mainly in the UK, there emerged a Blues boom that evolved into Rock (heavy metal music as some would call it). The Jimi Hendrix Experience and a bit later, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple surfaced on the scene.
Over in Singapore the same genre bands took roots: Fried Ice (with Ray Anthony - Singapore's answer to Jimi Hendrix), The Straydogs (with twin axemen L.T. Soon and Jimmy Appadurai), Barb Wire with Chris Vardam, Pest Infested with Alam Shah and Vocalist Ernie Koh and Sweet Charity (who later moved on and pioneered Malay Rock in the Malay Music Market. Black Dog Bone followed). The other more renowned bands that need mentioning are The Surfers who later became October Cherries (image below: Richard Khan - drummer), The Western Union Band and The X'periment with Joe Chandran (now known as Joseph Aron) as lead vocalist. Then there was Singapore's premier rock band with the three Jansen Brothers: Heritage. All the bands mentioned bands leant more towards the pop music of the day.
While all this was going on in the UK, in the US another genre of pop music was being created: Jazz Rock which was the merging of Jazz and Pop Rock when brass instruments were added. There were groups with unlikely names like Blood Sweat And Tears, which actually started this genre. Then there was Chicago Transit Authority (they later shortened their name to Chicago), followed by Chase (with Bill Chase as the band leader but this band perished in an aeroplane crash.
October Cherries: World Hits 1972 Video from sholimz Local bands paralleled the trend with The Flybaits (above), Tony Castillo and the Castillians, The X'quisites, The Breed (of which I was with for a short while) and others, too many to name. All these bands worked in most nightclubs in Singapore and abroad. Later, other bands like Gingerbread and Tokyo Square reared their musical heads in the 1970's. For a while, there was even a jazz outfit called the AJL Trio consisting of star players like Albert Ventura, Jayram Shotam and Louis Soliano. They later added saxophone man Stephen Rufus to their line-up.
Michael Bangar with Rickie Chng, Laurence Lim and Andy Young @ Raffles City in 2017. During the same period in the late 70's, another jazz trio got together to form JERAMZEE, consisting of Jeremy Monteiro on the keyboard, Ramli Shariff on bass and Tony Zee (former Trailers) on drums (who later moved on to form Jive Talking with its long residency at The Hard Rock Cafe in Orchard Road. This band is still playing there but most of its original members have left the lineup.

Some Sleeves Speak Vinyl is back with a vengeance and I'm glad I kept my lot, especially the local ones because they have become a rarity these days. While some enthusiasts are buying used vinyl, others are buying newly pressed ones. In 2014 alone more than one million new vinyl has been sold worldwide and up till now, if website figures are correct, up to four million vinyl have left the record racks. A young man who bought a vinyl record was asked the reason why he didn't buy the album on-line. His reply was simple, "The art work on the cover is worth it all..."
Record covers are works of art and if you love the 60's, their prints are emboldened either on large 12 inch LP canvases or on 7 inch EP squares but broad enough to be framed and hung on the apartment or house walls. The record covers below, with drawings of our local stars, are commonly found, even a few years ago, but are hard to come by today. All the figures are hand drawn by artistes unknown but must definitely have been our own local Singaporeans. For this posting I could only credit one artist that I have acknowledged under a sketch. Very sad.
Image 3 The blog images published on this posting are not very clear, coming from the home printer and computer but close enough for you to guess who the singers or bands are. So, just for fun, especially those who are new to local 60's music celebrities, try to guess who the groups or singers are. This particular piece (image 3) was done in black and green, with strong lines featuring the singer's hair, shoes and semi-solid guitar. In the background are smaller drawings of the same person with different guitar poses. The lines are a clear where the black colours meet and sufficient to create the atmosphere needed. A top gun from Malaysia, this singer was a school teacher from Johore Bahru. Great voice, with personality plus, he used to woo the young ladies with his, Woman In My Life, one of his top hits. The photographer and designer is Freddy Ang. It is an EMI Studio Recording.
Image: 4 This next one (image 4) is more a caricature of the group and the drawing features the detailed faces of each member, holding his own musical instrument. The lead singer is sitting on a diamond, symbolic of the group. Hard to tell if they are Asians or otherwise but definitely a neat piece that could be hung on the wall. They did not cut too many vinyl records but first recorded in Singapore in 1965. The boys became local celebrities when they appeared on television and became known on radio and Rediffusion. They have appeared down under in Australia. Apparently the singer's compositions (sitting in the middle) were well known in the Far East. From Philips, the caricaturist is not credited.
Image: 5 A personal favourite (image: 5), it looks like a water colour painting. But it is a subtle piece and uncommon for a local record cover. Colours are relaxing to the eye and of pastel shades. The singers are recognizable. Yes, this group became well known first with one group name and then hit the high notes with another when they were in Europe for many years. The above image shows the four on a record sleeve and they covered a Beatles number and a Bee Gees top hit. The vinyl is a pirated version from King Record and there is no credit given as to who the artist was.
Image: 6 Is this a charcoal sketch (image: 6)? Looks like it. Dark, bold and strongly engraved, the drawing explains the two songs recorded. Yesterday's Sorrows (black colour) and Four Corners of My Life (four heads forming the corners). A strong piece indeed and with very bold lines. This band started in the 60's but went straight on to the 70's stronger than ever. They wrote their own songs. Awell-known group, they had cut quite a number of original hits. Produced by Life Records, this Libra vinyl should have had the artist credited.
Image: 7 The original cover (image 7) shows the sheen on the singer's batik shirt, a beautiful purplish blue. It is well drawn and the facial features are identical to the person himself. The belt looks natural and typical of the 60's. White pants go well with the batik. Very local styling. I like the jacket that looks like leather, carelessly hung on his shoulder. Second prize winner of RTS Talentime 1968, this gentleman was known as The Man From Bukom. Voice, smooth as Johnny Mathis, he captured everyone's heart with his rendition of Born Free and became a regular on radio, Rediffusion and on television. He could be heard singing even during the Malay programmes in Singapore and Malaysia since he is bi-lingual. Again, the artist was not credited but it was an EMI Recording.
Image: 8 This particular record sleeve art piece (image 8) is so famous anyone familiar with Singapore music will know who the group is. Possibly drawn for this internationally famed company, the colours and textured patterns take us back to the 1970's. Different coloured jeans prominently featured proves what the company is trying to project and sell. The focus is obvious. It's a beautiful commercial print and I wish I had a larger copy of this picture. The group is the same one that was written about earlier on this posting. Can you guess which one?
So there you are folks, beautiful pieces of sketched memory for you, drawn from unknown artists of the 60's and 70's and now masterpieces (for me that is). You might know who the singers and bands are, but do you know who had drawn the art pieces? If know the artists or if you are one of them please write in. I'd love to meet you. This posting is similar to one done on 23/06/2011 but with a different emphasis.

Whether it's Mary Lou or Corrina, Judy or Diana, pop music has many song titles with ladies' names since most of the songs have romantic themes. From A in Amanda by Rod Stewart to Z in Zelda by Pete Townshend, female names are targeted and the numbers can go up to many hundreds. Similarly with our local band boys and their recordings on vinyls. Checking a personal library there was Henry Suriya who recorded DONNA, The Christones had AURA LEE, our teacher star across the causeway, Frankie Chia sang about his CHERYL MOANA MARIE and the Dukes with their popular original instrumental, SELINA.
The selection made for this posting is hardly sufficient to prove any statistical endeavour but here are five detailed samplings of local pops classics with ladies' names on their titles.
The Checkmates: Recorded at Kinetex Studios in Singapore, lead guitar Benny Chan, with Hann Hussein (rhythmist), Laurence Lee (bassist) and Amir Samsudin (drums), produced four original instrumentals on their EP with one piece bearing a lady's name. Called SYLVIA, it was composed by Lee and Chan. Anyone heard of Sylvia? Beautiful song. And lady too? I have listened to Checkmates many times when we were in shows together in the past. Like other bands they used to play Shadows and other 60's instrumental hits on stage. Their music was always solid, tight and more importantly on this vinyl, original. NB: Lead Benny Chan was in Singapore recently and had just appeared at the Esplanade this month of November with the group. Just wondering if Sylvia came to watch the show. Or was she just a figment of the imagination. Great instumental though.
d'Starlights: Coming from the Philippines, d'Starlights boys were so familiar with Singaporean audiences that they were gladly accepted as belonging to the local community. Famous for their appearances in the El Amigo Nightclub at The New World Amusement Park, they were associated with quality control music. On this EP called, IT'S SOUL MAN, the five boys sang and played, LOUIE, LOUIE. Written by Richard Berry way back in 1955, it was about a Jamaican sailor returning to his island to see his lady love. With this group in control the song is one beautiful and hot soul beat dedication to Ms Louie. And for this lady, at least, we know who she was. NB: d'Starlights were known to have exhibited their karate prowess on stage before their performances. Some of their members had passed away these few years. One or two from the group had written on this blog to make these announcements.
The Quests: A group that needs no introduction is The Quests. Because they were so popular in the South East Asian region, EMI Columbia allowed them to record current covers. So in 1969, they produced four songs for another one of their EPs without any original. The particular vinyl had a note from the group on its back sleeve cover since they were coming home to Singapore that year from their stint in Hong Kong. Together with three other international hits The Quests included PROUD MARY. This fast, hot John Fogerty lady had become such a classic that nearly every Singapore band had performed this Creedence Clearwater Revival hit on stage. The lyrics explained that Mary was born in the Bayou and worked as a washerwoman. CCR made it number one, Tina Turner gyrated with the number, exhibiting her sensual legs, wearing the shortest skirt ever and Elvis Presley wowed every fan with his version. There was a long line of artistes who wooed Proud Mary. NB: In case some readers are not aware, two of the Quests had passed on i.e. Reggie Verghese and Jap Chong. Lim Wee Guan and Henry Chua are still as active with their drums and sold guitars. Chua had his SHANTY played by our Wind Symphonic recently (please read another posting). I meet Jimmy Chan for kopi at Tiong Bahru Market. He's a pianist and still at Marina Mandarin. A very nice guy.
The Surfers: Before the October Cherries, they were called The Surfers and had cut four tracks with EMI. This particular vinyl was so popular the producers could have made thousands of copies. You can get it anywhere today if you look hard enough. Titled HOORAY FOR HAZEL, we have another hit to add to our short list of lady-named songs recorded in Singapore. This vinyl was done at MacDonald House, Orchard Road. Hazel belonged to Tommy Roe and the song gossiped about a woman who could win the hearts of all men but later mistreated them. Again, their popularity guaranteed (and sales of course), I remember this group had a large fan base both locally and overseas when they becameOctober Cherries. Imagine competing with Roe on the hit parade charts. Hooray for Surfers.
The Trailers: The Trailers were another household name in the 1960's. With their stronghold at the Palace Cinema in East Coast Katong, the T-Dance became a phenomenon because of Benny and The Trailers. So when the group was up and soaring in our oriental skies, they produced four melodies that were favourites with the locals. Two of them were from the West. Together with PHOENIX THEME, ALI SAN and the U.S. hit DING DONG SONG, The Trailers added their tim-sum mix with another lady's name called LARA'S THEME, a big hit in 1967.
The specially Chinese PHOENIX THEME glued the four songs air-tight. All melodies were already separate hits singly but as Trailers instrumentals, this record was one of the most sought after during Chinese New Year 1967. Even our Malay and Indian friends knew the song as , Kwoh Sin Nien.
The concoction did the trick and this EP was one of the top best selling vinyls produced. With Victor Woo on lead guitar, Maurice Jarre's LARA'S THEME went off-beat a-go-go and boy friend Doctor Zhivago went wild. Lady Lara was one foreign attraction. Set in Russia, the movie told of a KGB Lieutenant General searching for Lara Antipova, the daughter of his half brother. She must be SOMEWHERE MY LOVE. NB: Victor Woo is still playing lead with his New Trailers today. PHOENIX THEME was played during a Channel News Asia television documentary in 2014 discussing Singapore's Treasure Hunt. It was hosted by pretty Anita Kapoor and archaeologist Lim Chen Sian. I was a guest. So Sylvia, Louie, Mary, Hazel and Lara, where are you all? Comments please.
