Golden oldies, golden years

Frances Yip, dubbed 'Super Diva' with her amazing voice and vocal range, is an international star in every sense of the word. Her 1980s hit, The Bund enjoyed phenomenal reception not only in Hong Kong but also the Chinese communities all over the world. With a career that spans 45 years and a repertoire that covers Western hits, CantoPop, MandoPop and more, she is part of the memory of a lot of Hong Kong people as they grew up. She is returning to appear with the HKCO in a spectacular, fun-filled romp down memory lane. Come and party with Frances!

Frances Yip Vocal

Frances Yip developed her love of singing at a very young age. Her talent was discovered after she appeared on the HKTVB programme, Sharp Nite, in 1969 and she was signed up as a recording artist and television singer soon after. In 1974, she became the first Asian singer to sign a contract with EMI for international territories. It also marked the beginning of her professional career in entertainment. Over the last 45 years, she has released more than 80 solo albums, one of which was released in several languages in five countries simultaneously under the EMI label. Her signature song, Theme from The Bund, has been regarded as the most easily recognizable CantoPop song among the global Chinese community, and was on the Top 10 list of "Best Songs of the Century" in China.
