Those folks at Fancy have once again done their part for the edification of the public on things Asian pop. This time it's a groovy article on 60s Singaporean pop idols the Trailers. The writer is Mr. Joseph Pereira, author of Legends of the Golden Venus, a history of a popular Singapore nightclub. Here's how the article starts off:
Legend has it that at one performance in the Sixties, a female fan became so besotted with Benny Koh’s singing that she climbed on stage and with her red lip stick scribbled “Benny, I Love You” onto his trousers. That says it all. The hysteria a front man like Benny Koh was capable of inspiring. In the pantheon of Singapore Sixties bands, The Trailers rank up there with the best.
