THOSE UNFORGETTABLES 'FABULOUS ECHOES'
(From Youtube / Mr Rainbow 64 / 21jun2010) The Fabulous Echoes were Cliff Foenander from Sri Lanka, Stanley Robertson from Scotland, Tony & Danny Ruivivar, Terry Lucido Jr and Bert Segum from The Philippines. The group started their music career in Hong Kong and moved on to Hawaii, Los Angeles and there has been several changes to the members over the years. The group is still active in the entertainment circuit in Vegas today and has taken on a new name as The Society of Seven. The recording of this medley of songs, You Don't Know Me and Cuando Calienta El Sol was made at the Duke Kahanmoku Club, largest in famed Wakiki Beach.
A great number of pop bands appeared in Hong Kong during the golden era of the British Pop Music (1964 thru 1969). Musicians of different nationalities (Chinese, British, Swedish, Portuguese, Filipinos, Indians, among others) were active in Hong Kong, normally covering versions of songs from the UK and the USA. This is my tribute to those magnificent Hongkong Pop Artists that were part of my happy teenage days.
