Mr. Koo will be missed. His songs will be listened forever. RIP.
He is closest to the Duke Ellington of HK, composing a complete songbook at their peak. If you want to know HK, listen to his songs. YT is filled with covers of Shanghai Bund, and Love Without End, though most would not know about Koo.
RIP Joseph!
