He acted alongside the leading ladies of the era like Saloma (left) and cut most of the hit albums. THE memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician” said the late great jazz legend Louis Armstrong. Likewise Malaysians can celebrate 50 years of good music since the country’s independence in 1957; we have every reason to be proud of what home-grown talents have achieved over the years. Much of that domestically nurtured class can be traced back to the late Tan Sri P. Ramlee the great singer songwriter actor scriptwriter director and producer. He single-handedly gave the entertainment scene an identity by introducing musical styles which straddled the best of East and West. The history of modern Malaysian music cannot be told without highlighting P… Venues like the Dewan Tunku Chancellor Univerisiti Malaya and Dewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka enabled them to reach out to urban audiences. And when these bands were drawn out of the loop because of their “hippie sensibilities” Tomorrow disco Glass Bubble The Tin Mine and The Regent Club all opened their doors to this new movement. The burgeoning disco scene would soon sound the death knell for these bands and their continued reluctance to sing in Bahasa Malaysia saw them losing favour. but the fittest survived.
