▪ 2003
Tam Pak-sin 
      Chinese pop musician (b. 1949, Guangxi Zhuang, China—d. Oct. 18, 2002, Hong Kong), was a flamboyant showman with an androgynous persona and a campy style who was a star for three decades; because of his influence on younger musicians, he became known as the “godfather” of Hong Kong music. He founded the band Roman and the Four Steps, which made its debut in 1967 and whose hits included “The Price of Love,” and his 1970s recording of theme music from Hong Kong television programs was enormously popular. Although he originally sang in English, after a period in Japan in the mid-1970s he began performing in Cantonese, in what was called “Canto-pop.” In all, he made 56 albums. Tam was credited with being the first Asian to perform in the Royal Albert Hall in London and in Carnegie Hall in New York City.
