Andy 60s Music Celebrates National Day on 9th August, 2026 With Sparkle, You'll Be OK, Giants.

Wishing all a joyous National Day. Another year passed,

a nation to become we have been struggling. When will

we become one, a truly successful nation? It will not be in numbers,

in GDP, in wealth. It will be in respect for each other,

in social cohesion, and to help sincerely when we see some of us

in need of help. Then we are a nation of Singaporeans.

Andy 60s Music Wishes You A Happy Lunar Horse Year 2026

HAVE A HORSPICIOUS, HEALTHY, SAFE & ENJOYABLE TIME

An AI view of MERLION meeting HORSE as 2026 suggests, with a group of musicians ushering in the year.

Scroll to the end to see what's in the CNY store for you.

Chinese New Medley by Angela July.

YouTube Video by Angela July.

The Chinese character HORSE 馬 [ma] looks like a horse head with a galloping body and tail. Most times, especially during CNY, red signifies good luck. The horse ranks 7th among the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac Cycle.

HERE ARE SOME HORSE TAILS, ER, TALES…

From creator FREDA HANUM, Malaysia, accomplished pianist and former girl group member/recording artistes, The TEEPEES. A beautiful GIF of galloping horses marching into Lunar New Year 2026. Thanks Freda.

In 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse will bring a year filled with energy, vitality and independence. It will begin on 17th February 2026 and will end on 3rd March 2026. Apparently, there will be intense energy, emotional surges, and rapid shifts, encouraging individuals to take bold actions and embrace personal freedom.

The Fire element amplifies the Horse's energetic traits, making it a time for leadership, risk-taking, and following one's instincts. But it may also lead to excessive and emotional overwhelms if not balanced with rest and patience.

It would be a year of liberation, passion, and personal transformation, urging individuals to act with intention and trust their inner fire. [As depicted by AI.]

Roy Rogers with 'A Four-Legged Friend', Trigger from movie: 'Son of Paleface'. A YouTube Video by Cowboyandthesenorita.

Cowboy Roy Rogers sings, ‘A FOUR-LEGGED FRIEND’ with his horse prancing amidst the crowd. As a child reading my favourite comic book hero, he has this wonder horse called, Trigger. The lyrics of the song appear below.

They are literally 'Horse Shoes'.

This video above was a Good Morning gift from JIMMY PRESLEE, Singapore's answer to the late King Elvis. Thanks Jimmy.

QUICK DRAW MCGRAW

The latest CNY 2026 card from MICHAEL BANGAR and FAMILY. His own creation of a hand-made card that he sends every year. The miniature guitar is from LAWRENCE LIM and the fluffy doll-head from ALFRED NG. Thanks guys!

A Four-Legged Friend

Composed by Jack Brooks

Sung by Roy Rogers [1952]

Chorus:

A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend

He'll never let you down

He's honest and faithful right up to the end

That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend

[1] A woman is like cactus and cactus can hurt

'Cause she's just a tight-waisted winky-eyed flirt

She'll soon have your land and your pride and your gold

And bury you deep long before you grow old

[2] A two-legged hombre is worthless as sand

He'll smile like a saint with a gun in his hand

He'll promise to stick by your side like a pal

But he'll also promise the same to your gal

[3] Who carries your burden, who carries your load

On tumbleweed land or a long dusty road

Who asks you no questions, who tells you no lies

That four-legged friend with the two honest eyes

That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend.

CNY IS FAMILY ORIENTED

From TIKTOK VIDEO.

The above video was contributed by Singaporean WINSTON KOH. But there is no indication as to the originator of this video. Please write in to blogger so that the person can be identified and the name published. Thanks.

And the last words come from this very famous TALKING HORSE, who advised all blog readers with sound wisdom. MR ED, who came from the TV 60’s sitcom, had since left us. Actor ALAN YOUNG portrayed his owner.

Thanks to CHEW HEE HONG for letting us have a glimpse on video the uniquely new style of fireworks display from CHINA.

Happy New 2025 From Andy Singapore 60s Music Blog!

happy new year 2025

to all blog readers, friends, fans

and contributing writers!

'Forever Young'

Laura Branigan

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while

Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Some are like water, some are like the heat

Some are the melody and some are the beat

Sooner or later they all will be gone

Why don't they stay young?

So many adventures, couldn't happen today

So many songs we forgot to play

So many dreams waiting out in the blue

We'll let them come true

Forever young

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever and ever

[Selected verses only.

Check out the full song at its original website.]

Alphaville:

German synth-pop band Alphaville originally recorded "Forever Young" [1984 debut album] and was a huge success in Scandinavia, German-speaking European countries and Singapore; became a signature song for the band and covered by numerous singers. The late Ms Branigan covered it in 1985.

AUTHOR: ANDY YOUNG

Hi, I'm ANDY and fronted SG 60's pop bands. Enjoyed the excitement but music is only a hobby, so I took an academic path. This blog serves as a SINGAPORE COFFEE SHOP to (1) relive those years, (2) encourage stories from you, (3) keep our younger generation aware (4) help students with term papers on SG music history. I am neither a musician nor historian. No showing off past glory; completed BA and MA in Eng. Literature and Applied Linguistics. I welcome mail from readers. This blog is neither sponsored nor advertorial or done for financial gains. Most articles and images have been acknowledged. Any infringements, do inform for immediate deletion. IF YOU HAVE ARTICLES TO SHARE, PLEASE WRITE TO ME. Huang Ying [欢迎]. Sudi Mampir. நன்றி Naṉṟi.

WILFRED LIM: FROM ST. ANDREW'S SCHOOL

Many people have not heard of the expression, No man is an island. They do not think of leaving a heritage. They only live for themselves. Unlike for example... like what you are doing for others through your present MUSIC BLOG. It will be remembered for perpetuity that is when you are long gone... people outside your own family will remember you as the creator of this music blog. Whereas in my case only my immediate family members will, hopefully, remember me from time to time... By comparison your music blog will go on as long as there is music. That's why I was glad you did not let a local organisation take over your music blog when they approached you some years ago. Well done my friend! This blog is your niche. No one can take it away. God Bless you, my brother! Am proud of you!

COMMENT FROM READER:

S. LENG said... "Andy, your blog will be considered a very important account on music of the 60's, especially in Singapore. Its history, the musicians and the bands, the songs they sang, it's all on your blog. Very nostalgic for those who lived through their heydays ad reference material for those after. It is a reminder to the young that their ye-ye, gong-gong, ah-ma and por-por (grandparents) were young once and lived the the era of rock and roll, jazz, rhythm ad blues and danced to 'The Twist' and sang to 'The Young Ones'. Indeed, those were the days, my friend. Today, we often get news of a passing of a local music luminary. Who carries the torch? So please live a long and healthy life, Andy! I wish you 'umor panjang, sehat dan kuat' (long life, healthy and strong). Merely speaking the truth. Your blog is an important document, and I believe it is acknowledged as such. [10.7.22 ].

Hi Andy, It is an achievement to be able to sustain the interest of even 2000 people a month on a regular basis on any given topic. What you have done could not be the result of a faint heart or a lame endeavour. It takes passion and consistency to incessantly create stories that your international readership can relate to and is stimulating enough to make them keep coming back to your blog for more. Your enthusiasm for your work makes the difference! Without it, there would be no zest! Like Coke without the bubbles! Flat! On behalf of all your readers, I wish to appeal to you to not even consider stopping your very fine work but to keep up with your enthusiasm for your unique blog. I am still hopeful that one day soon, the relevant authority in SG would officially recognize your work! It is strange but nonetheless true, no prophet will find acceptance in his own country! A case in point, recently the Australians conferred an award on Matthew Tan for his contributions to Country Music. I am of the view that it is SG that should have taken the initiative for such an award! Of course not only for Matthew but for other iconic local musicians as well, like Henry Chua and others! Be that as it may, here's wishing you continued success in all your efforts to preserve our music heritage! God bless! John Cher.

DANNY KOH: ACCOMPLISHED SINGAPORE PIANIST [LRSM, FLCM]

Hi Andy, I want to reach out and say thank you for the incredible work you are doing. It is so rare and refreshing to find a space like yours—a "Singapore Coffee Shop" for the soul—where the history of our 60s pop scene is preserved with such humility and heart. Even though you mentioned you aren't a "historian," the way you document these stories for us and the younger generation, is a massive service to Singapore’s heritage. Your academic background in Literature and Linguistics clearly shines through in your writing, and the fact that you do this purely as a hobby to encourage community stories is truly inspiring. Over 5 million visits is a testament to how much people value the memories you are keeping alive! Thank you for sharing your "past glory" with us, even if you’re too modest to call it that. Keep the music playing!" CLICK PIX TO READ

"I am an undergraduate student majoring in music teaching, and in the course of my studies, I was introduced to and became interested in Singapore's popular music scene in the 60's. Incidentally, 'Freedom', was one of the songs played to us during our lesson. I feel really lucky that I am able to read the stories of the people who wrote this song, and no less from the lead singer himself."

NO SINGAPORE SONG TO SING IN SCOTLAND

BUBBLE GUM MUSIC & THE BAN IN SINGAPORE

Remember bubblegum music from around 1967 to 1972? Or was it bubblegum rock, bubblegum pop, or simply bubblegum. It was a genre of pops with an upbeat sound marketed to appeal to teenagers. Popular groups like 1910 Fruitgum Company, The Ohio Express and The Archies were representative of bubblegum music and the most successful bubblegum song was Sugar, Sugar. Afterwards in 1969 bubble gum singer Tommy Roe came along, sang Dizzy and it became a hit. Bubble gum too was banned in Singapore. JIMMY CHNG [DRUMMER OF DECIBELS SAID: Bubble gum music with their lively and bouncy beat can effectively perk you up whenever you're feeling glum. I believe there was a minister who made a remark in parly probably during the motion to ban the sale of chewing gum here? He likened chewing gummers to cows chewing cud! Incidentally I wonder which type of chewing gum was more popular back then - chewing gum or bubble gum?REMARKS: CLICK PIX TO READ.

A MUSIC PROF. WANTS TO MEET MANY YEARS AGO! I FORGOT! MY APOLOGIES!

find.din3 said... Dear Andy and Vincent, my music professor is interested in getting to know more information about music in the 60s and would like to meet up with both of you (separately if preferred) over coffee or lunch. Please let me know if both of you are able to meet up with him. We are both music enthusiasts and my professor has done many research in the music field and would like to expand his knowledge of music in the 1960s. Please email me at xxx.com and I will leave his contact if the meet up is possible. Thank you so much in advance. :) Cheers to furthering music education in Singapore!

EDDY ENG: ENTREPRENEUR

"His (Andy) writing is very much similar to his singing - pure, unadulterated and effortless. Even when singing pop songs he has the discernible air of a scholarly gentleman. You are a singer and writer par excellence. Your writing style is highly readable. It captures the vibrancy of youth in that era where our country was still much in the process of nation-building. Please consider to put it down for posterity in the form of an enduring print. Any scholarly research into the early days of our nationhood is not complete without this cultural dimension - the energy and vigour our youth in musical expression. If I tell you that you are such a fine gentleman, I know I am not the first or last guy to say so. Social grace and decorum are hard to come by in our frenzied society. In this sense, you are almost an extinct breed."

REFLECTING GOOD FRIDAY FROM MS. ELAINE SUNG.

MS. ELAINE SUNG [WRITTEN IN 2019]: " Good Friday took on a new meaning 13 years ago when I became a Christian. The Cross became a symbol of God’s grace poured out for me, a symbol of His love. At the Cross, Jesus Christ paid it all…cliché…but so true. The Cross is also a surety that God’s promises will be fulfilled. Our God and King is victorious and our help in ages past, we need not fear. I had the privilege of sharing God’s Word with friends this week and the Holy Spirit brought to mind that The Cross also meant Rejection, Repentance, and Restoration." CLICK PIX TO READ.

ANDY SINGS 'DIANA' N 'RED RIVER VALLEY' [YOUTUBE] - ORCHID COUNTRY CLUB

Explaining the existence of the RED RIVER VALLEY, both river and song and their origins. This blog has been rejuvenated because of additional information. Also the song Red River Valley has been made popular in Singapore in the 2000's. I have been singing a rock interpretation, one which has never been done before (correct me). Only the country n western one and the rock instrumental have been recorded by many pop artistes. I have since included the song which is on You Tube; it is the song after 'Diana' during our concert at the Orchid Country Club Singapore in 2009. Hope you all enjoy it. In appreciation of the years I spent in Winnipeg, Manitoba, near the Red River Valley. CLICK PIX TO READ N LISTEN.

PATRICK TENG - MUSICIAN [GUITARIST, SINGER, ALL ROUNDER]

ADVICE FROM JOHN CHER [SILVER STRINGS DRUMMER]

Dear Friends, Facebook or otherwise. Do visit this blog regularly. Andy Lim updates his blog very regularly and there is always something that would be of interest for those who enjoy reading about the 60s scene in Singapore and abroad. Without any professional help, Andy manages the blog entirely on his own out of sheer passion to record whatever he could of a bygone era in SG's music history. My view is that it is a more than noble task! The number of people in this country who is prepared to do something for nothing is very near to extinction and I am both proud and privileged to have in a meagre way contributed towards this entertaining blog. All the best to you in all your endeavours Andy Lim!

A LETTER FROM AN UNDERGRADUATE - 2013

''Hi Andy, I am an undergraduate student majoring in music teaching, and in the course of my studies, I was introduced to and became interested in Singapore's popular music scene in the 60s. Incidentally, "Freedom", was one of the songs played to us during our lesson. I feel really lucky that I am able read the stories of the people who wrote this song, and no less from the lead singer himself. I must thank both Byrt Mallanyk for writing about his experience and yourself for creating this blog. Sadly, as a Singaporean youth, I too share the sentiments that the valuable experiences and personal histories of the past are under-appreciated today. In fact, it had never occurred to me that Singapore actually had a popular music scene in the 60s before I learnt about them in school. I really appreciate your blog as I enjoy the stories of Singapore's music scene that would have been otherwise left undocumented. To me, the lack of awareness of Singapore's popular culture in the past is a very pertinent issue today. I have so many questions that I would like to ask you, and I'd appreciate it if I could discuss them with you via e-mail. Thank You!'' [14.2.13]

And so, I embarked on this google search for the TV program you went on and came upon this blog. I seriously had zero idea you were a celebrity, just that you love to sing a few verses here and there during classes. I'm not doing any researches nor planning to interview you on your vast knowledge on music. But would you have time for tea with me when you're free? Best Regards... [3.11.2016]'' KLIK PIX TO READ.

RITA CHAO - A TRIBUTE TO A QUIET POP STAR

I'm from USA, Florida originally, back in the day when a youngster, had not just my juke box on my shoulder, also a short and long wave set. Not only did I hear music here, heard the sounds of foreign waves. Do remember hearing Rita played and am DX familiar just that I heard her and others, she was great. Loved her. Still today I play her music, and will continue to do so long as I live. Thank you Rita, you will always be loved. Jeff from Bear, DE 19.1.16.

JOE PETERS said... Yes, it has been a long time. But I hear about you from various people as I meet them. Essentially, I commute with the region because I assist in various music programmes. Your blog is something that could become a reference point. So all I can do is to strongly encourage you to collate the necessary information and present it from your own point of view.
