SAYONARA (The Quests)

From MrRainbow64 (on youtube):
The year was 1967/68 when the Quests were in Hong Kong as our musical ambassadors. Sayonara was the signature song when the boys call it a night at the famed Mocambo Nite Club. Thanks for the fond memories and more...Jap, Reggie, Wee, Sam, Jimmy & Vernon.

COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW (Judi Jim)

SAD MOVIES (Kong Ling)

From Questing Bandstand:
Kong Ling is known as “Singing sweetheart of Hong Kong”. She won an inter-school competition in 1951. By 1954, she was singing in Singapore, an engagment which lasted for nine months. When she returned to H.K., her popularity only continued to grow. She was in such high demand that she was singing in three separate nightclubs every evening. In the beginning, Kong Ling was singing mostly Mandarin covers of popular English songs. She recorded her first LP in English in 1960 on Diamond label called “Hong Kong presents the Off-beat Cha Cha” (Off-beat was first popularized in Manila). In her second LP, “Theme from a Dream”, Diamond wanted the best so they got The Fabulous Echoes to back Kong Ling.
