I think everyone would have no doubt that Cantonese pop was the main stream of the Asia music market in the 80s. There are a lot of famous Hong Kong signer and Cantonese song which is well known all over the Asia during that moment.

But do you know that there are actually numbers of famous Cantonese song which is actually a representation of an English song? I’m not talking about whether it is right or wrong; or which one is better. I just think it will be quite interesting to hear both the Cantonese version and the English version at the same time.
So, I have found some for your guys to have a feel on it.
