P Ramlee - Malaysia

The artist I am introducing is the late P Ramlee, one of the most successful Malaysian artists during the 60s. He was a notable singer, musician, songwriter, composer, actor, producer and director. His many artistic talents are not commonplace even among the modern artists today in Malaysia. What I like about him is his voice. When performing, his voice can be very captivating and time just seem to stop whenever I hear one of his songs on the radio or television.

One of the most admirable qualities of his songs was and always has been is the passion in his songs. The lyrics he composed are so full of energy and life. Don't believe me? Try hearing this one:
