i am 63 years and still remember these Band
A long time ago when I was still young I was in a lift going up to a place called SPARKS which was a popular entertainment venue and Mr . Chris Vadham enter the lift on the way up to same location. Having known who he was I was just so happy to have had to privilege to see him and ride in the same lift with the man. Then when i started my music career I was again bless not only to meet him again but to share the stage with this wonderful man. I will never forget you Mr. Chris Vadham and every time Sausalito is played by anyone it brings tears to my eyes and smile to my face both at the same time. No one has ever been able to cause such a sensation and I don't think anyone ever will. Thank you for letting me into your presence while you were still around and share time with you. Always with love and respect for you till we jam again in the great stage in the sky. Cheers
a local favourite! to me at least!
Chris Vadham used to record Malay songs too. His most popular Malay hit is Hanya Nyanyian Dalam Sepi. You can check this title on RUclips. If I'm not mistaken, his brother Moses Vadham is a singer too, also recorded Malay songs.
💞💞💞😢😭😭😭🙏 I miss this Super band 🥰
Thanx for the information.
I heard this song for the first time in 1978.I was 16.
I was misguided n told that Western Union Band was a native American band.
Whatever, I just love this song.

Hello friend 😊😊 how are you doing today?
I started listening this song since 1981 and still love this song.
My comment date shows,that with internet people can reach out and recall TIMELESS things to treasure,previleged to have been in the 60's era.Vadham family was the Jackson5 of Seletar.All brothers were into music.They started off the local music scene industry..correct me...Thanks Keith Great Effort
I was in high school when I heard this song, tried to play the guitar, now I am 60 years old , I remember this song tried to search and this led me here !
bring back good old memories when i was still in the army. 💯💯💯
Salute to our Pioneers & Merdeka Gen that makes their music into the international pop chart. Original & beautiful music that bring us down memory lane. 🙏👍🌹
Thank you for the music.
I was in Bukit Bintang School when i first heard this song, really enjoyed the good old days.
i'm twenty six, i heard some of the local oldies in the national museum and only then did i realise that we had such a colorful local music scene back then. God, if only there is a compilation of all the music by local bands from those years.

RIP Chris, u're in a better place now...that's one place that i know....
Listening to this song brings tears to my eyes thank you (WUB) Singapore's Super band Legend lives on forever💞 😢😭😭👌
WUB , such great memories and I got the benefit often watching them performing at the Old National Theatre in Fort Canning !
So many great SIngapore band as well in those day . Many of us are already 60+ -70 years now 😎
Good health and happiness to all .
Thank you.
And for those who could not afford the ticket for a rock concert at NT those days there was the hill top at FC where you could just stand around or sit to take a peek at what's going on inside and btw the music was loud enough to hear as well to enjoy for free.
It's umpteen years since I first heard it.
Nostalgic and I feel old now.
Me too! I'm 70 now. It was one of my favourites.
my great friend Chris miss him loads..from Selater to London...was at his wake in Watford jimmy sorely missed.love and light
great song. we all sang it at our reunion of classmates a few days ago. just an awesome classics. please share it around to all fellow friends. it sure will hit a nail with them.
I absolutely love the 70s too. The 60s as well but the 70s has a special place in my heart.
I started Listening since 1995 and till date 01/04/2020 - During Covid-19 Lockdown :)(New Delhi)- Another fine clear and sunshiny day
The late Chris Vadham recorded Malay song in his solo album too. His greatest Malay hit in Malaysia is Hanya Nyanyian Dalam Sepi (It's Only A Singing in Loneliness), recorded in the early 1980s.
I never ever grow tired of listening to WUB and the late Chris Vadham's songs.
Love this song so much! So much nostalgia. The one and only WUB! The best of the best in Singapore pop history.
Can't believe it. I finally found and heard this song again. Almost 40 years ago while I was studying at SJI!!!
My favourite band in the 70s.......my childhood friends used to sing along during big jamming
+Chua Eileen i am Chris's sister Gina Vadam.Thank you foryour
i love this song
Loved this song when it was popular in the early 70"s. Was amazed by the strong, clear vocals and the beautiful melody. And in 2008, I finally visited Sausalito - a nice place in San Francisco near to the Golden Gate bridge.. bring bad memories of my secondary school days and my friends then....
thx mr.keithyoong, dis my fav song wen m 13yrs, waiting 4 dis song tru xsistor radio...those were d days.....
This song was part of the soundtrack of my youth in the 70s, frequently heard on the radio (Radio Ceylon in those days). I've searched for it for years without success until today. Thanks keithyoong. Much appreciated for helping revive the memory. I had no idea, too, that WUB were Singaporean. Those days it was, expectedly, mostly American and British songs with a few Dutch bands too. What a breath of fresh air to know Asia was represented, too, so impressively & melodiously.
One of ,my favorite all time band
BRINGS BACK SO MUCH MEMORIES.MY BAND
WAS PLAYING AT THE OASIS.MET SO MANY TALENTED PEOPLE.
The 70s is always the best
Yah man , nowadays the songs ...all mostly rojak ...Singapoor top the list of rojak country .
Mate reminds me of my younger days, I m from JB. Very real song ! I am sorry to hear about CV, may he rest in peace. Songs very well done gentz, seldom people make songs like this nowadays.
Great song it bring my memory back to 70's.. whn i was kid i usually listen it on my dad turntables.. so happy to hear this song again.. TQ
Among songs I liked to listen when I was a teenage
Beautiful song.Love our local band.👍🌹Thanks for the music that accompany our growing up.
I miss my young days, I'm 65 now😢
I love 70s....
Totally agree
My classic rock cover band The Fast Colors love doing this amazing song!
I am so pleasantly surprised to find interests in old local music talents in 2020, so here's a little trivia. Looking back there was a time when trying to earn a decent living as a "local thorough bred band" aka "cari makan" those days, was like swimming upstream against the strong tide. It was a time when rock music and long hair were frowned upon, discouraged and banned officially in Singapore because of its connection with drugs and so on. In fact, if you were spotted with long hair you would have been served last at government departments and stopped at the airport. Despite the odds, some still made it and this band would be one of them. The best gig a local band could wish for was a contract with a local hotel in Orchard Road to play at their lounge bar or night club. Then may be, they may get a chance to cut a record, yes a 12 inch vinyl with EMI (Reggie V's studio))and to have it promoted by Radio Television Singapore (RTS) at Caldecott Hill or by Redfussion was like a dream come true like striking 4D. Enough trivia, there. Good luck.
Brings me back to the carefree days....no money no problem.... happy go lucky
You're welcome Dr. Yea, sad to know Chris is not here anymore. He's playing his guitar and singing in heaven. Will look it up someday soon. Thanks.
Brings back my 70 memories love this song👍
Amazing. spore had so many great bands in the past. What happened now? Where are the good new bands?

a great song by a great local group..heard it a long..long time ago..thanks..
This song is still being played by few bands n duos in the pubs...
one of my best well loved songs by our local band
greetings from Singapore! thank you for this marvelous song and its lyrics.
in 2006, i'd sold my Western Union Band's 12-inch vinyl LP record, We've Got Love (EMI Hong Kong Ltd, 1978) to someone who'd been looking for this LP for 12 years.
he was very happy when he came to my place to pick up the LP, and he told me he'd even gone to Hong Kong to search for the LP but couldn't find any.
Welcome Gina, sure brings back memories, doesn't it ? It's a nice song. Now you know where to go to whenever you want to listen to Sausolito.
one of my favorite bands of the 60s
such a great sound
One of my most favorites, brings memories of my school days during the 70s.
Thanks keithyoong for posting thus song....a great band..WUB ..grew up listening to them..
my dad loves this band in the 90's:')
I'm some young rocker who was tryna find some good local rock and led myself here. What a good listen. Kinda sounds like southern rock?
Perghhhh...lagu kenangan masa silam!
sangat nostalgic
So sad I just found them..selama ini i'm just listening to bee gees, the kinks, the nice and more bands from overseas..what a gems!
Hi Adelganjy,
Thank you for replying and am happy to learn that your Dad is well.
Will be good if I can catch up with Abel to reminisce fond memories and have a cup of coffee.
All the best.
Timeless. Always remembered.
Wonderful sound and lyrics. Thanks for sharing .
Amazing band and song! hail from Italy!
beautiful iconic song.
Thank you Keithyoong for bringing back so much memories for us . We are all so thankful to you. I grew up in the 70's and this sure brings back all the good times I shared . Thank you
i heard this when i was in form 1 ... great memories ,,,
Time flies....Able and I were classmates in primary school.
Hi Able, hope all is well and all the best mate.
Hi WUB ,this is the best song in my life ! I can sing too
Cheers!!!
Yes, I'm really glad. It's a part of Singapore's heritage, and it's good that it's being remembered.
Thanks a bunch again Keith. Appreciate the trouble. Cheerio!
Favourite WUB song of all time!
I still have the vinyls record with me
Western Union Band, October Cherries, The Strollers....all great bands, wonder if they are still around. Maybe can get them to group together and do a concert.
One of my favorite songs. I thought the band from US or Australia. Great.
keith - Many thanks for this. Fantastic band and sad to hear that Chris has passed. I knew his brother, Moses quite well and all the old bands in Spore. I left Spore 20 years ago. Doubt there are any bands as good as these in the 70s and 80s. Yes, knew Adam and Ben really well. Gingerbread, Jat Ali when they used to perform in Changi. Is Anywhere still there Zul and Alban? Cheers for the memory.
Thanks for the intreresting info, Katong Boy. We as fans of WUB, October Cherries, The Strollers, etc., have to do something to show our appreciation one way or another. RUclips is definitely one. Keep in touch.
Keith
Hello Keith May i have the MP3 version. Thanks
Thank you Keith I was an Oct Cherry (& Surfers) I like WUB & the Strollers btw Chris was a very good friend do you know he played with the Cherries in our final tour in India when Peter left band
Loved this song and still do. Reminds me of the early 70s when me and my younger brother were crazy over pop music. Thanks for uploading.
Last night I watched Moses & Gabriel & a friend play this tune, They did Roses as well. Nice. very nice. They're at Filling Station until end August.
Chris Vadham's brother, Moses Vadham is now jamming at Bar None (Marriot Hotel, Singapore). I've been there for so many times and never realised that this song was once from WUB. Moses is a very charismatic & talented artist ..... do catch the band 5 Series @ Bar None if you drop by Singapore..... cheers!
Cool wow I miss Chris (RIP) I met him when he joined the October Cherries as I was the drummer then and now after all these years I'm with his bros Mo & Gabe
at the Filling Station every night til aug and maybe more God willing so glad that some people still remember bands from yesteryears, thank you all
大好きです
Hello dear, how are you doing?
It is a lucky day to meet you here
We were in Junior High in Penang... smoking cigarettes and drinking beer. Got really drunk and puked our guts out. Hungover and went to morning class at school pretending that we were sick. It was a mess, but it was fun. Singapore and Penang were still an under developed islands... Fanfare used to be my favourite weekly magazines to check on Msia/Spore top 40 music... Those were the days. Every Teenager who could speak English was humming this song and it was playing on the radio every few minutes for a few months... Truly nostalgic
And thank you for watching. Yes it's true. There are still many die-hard fans of WUB out there. Glad we are not alone.
Will look up the song "Paper Roses" and shall inform you when it's up.
Cheers mate.
Fyi, the man behind all the sound mixing of WUB was Sg famous sound engineer, Mr Vincent Lim who was the beloved father of Prof Jamus Lim. The Workers Party MP.
Thanks keith. This gonna be nostalgic not just for me but all WUB fans as well. Wonderful memories for sure.
@waffamd It's a pleasure. It works hand in hand. A great song plus your wonderful memories from back then. Thats what makes life. Cheers.
