Congratulations Belinda Yeo for this superb presentation as a special tribute to the late JIMMY CHAN our Singapore's legendary pianist. I was introduced to Jimmy Chan by J K Lim of Concert Gang after watching his last few performances at the Atrium of Marina Mandarin Hotel before he retired. I was told by Maestro himself after our group dinner that he was the Resident Pianist of Mandarin Orchard for 20 years and another 23 years at Marina Mandarin Hotel.
I was very happy when Sandie invited me to join GIVJOY group to sing at the Old Folks Home at Marine Cresent. I felt greatly honored being accompanied by Jimmy Chan on the elders' favorite numbers like Guantanamera, El Condor Pasa and Spanish Eyes that he played on a Keyboard.
The happiest moments of my life in 2019 was to be invited by Audie Ng for the Silver Strings 55th anniversary celebration at the RELC Auditorium. I sang Summertime and What a Wonderful World with Eliza Goh accompanied by Maestro JIMMY CHAN. On April 2 this year I sang the Napolitan song O Sole Mio at the Birthday Party of Maestro at the Lions Recording Studio. I picked this song after knowing Maestro prefers, I sing Spanish or Italian songs since most people would do songs in English or Chinese. This party was probably the last occasion that Maestro played on a Grand Piano. At his funeral wake in August 2022, Ernesto Valerio on guitar and I did O Sole Mio as a last respect for Maestro Pianist JIMMY CHAN.
Really loved watching your shows Belinda with all these unforgetable legendary musicians and artists... Enjoying their stories and experiences in their musical journeys... Keep it up and thumbs up for these wonderful shows... Looking forward for more....wonderful "When We Were Young" shows 👍👏👏
Thank you and glad you enjoy the show.
I adored his piano work, it was somewhat my introduction to Singapore as I quickly discovered a favorite spot at the former Marina Mandarin....and I remember I always tried to never miss hearing him there in the atrium lounge. His playing was a draw card to go there. A favorite was "if I was a rich man".
First of all, thank you very much Ms Belinda for this tribute. I have been listening to Jimmy Chan's piano music for decades and always thought that he is a Hong Kong pianist!😅. So very proud that's he's actually Singaporean. I had a couple of his CDs too. I very often hear his music (and Theresa Teng's songs) in restaurants serving Cantonese food and dimsum! And his music is the only kind that i can listen to while doing things that require the mind to work and yet not feel distracted; in fact calming! Amazing, we do learn something new every day! 🙏🏻
True legend, his name spread to even Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Even people who aren't into instrumentals know and listen to him.
I enjoyed the duet at the end….wished there was more!
Hi SiMo-Sandy, long time no see. Good to see you well, I was searching in FB & YT. God bless. Mandy Chow (passed on Jenny Tan)
