We have our own well-known female vocalists too. I shared the same stage with WILMA TANG (image taken off a dance-ball magazine) when she sang at a charity dinner in the 60s.
She was a hit those days as a professional singer and appeared regularly at the Ocean Park night club at East Coast Road, Singapore.
Singing both in English and Chinese, she was also one of the earlier personalities who graced the television screen locally.
While Miss Teng Siew Ping was entertaining patrons at the Cathay Restaurant in town, Wilma was entertaining her nightclubbers at Ocean Park Hotel near the sea, accompanied by Sid Gomez and His Band.

Hi,
Can you tell me where Ocean Park Hotel was located on East Coast Road.
thanks
Where Ocean Park Condo is today, near St. Patrick's School.
Hi Andy,
Was the Ocean Park Night Club where Julie Sudiro and Saloma used to perform also located within Ocean Park Hotel? Also, I'm looking for any old photographs of Saloma and Julie Sudiro, do you have any or know when I can find them?
Thanks!
If I remember correctly it's an open air night club and is adjacent to the Hotel.
The best images would be from their record and CD covers which you can easily find at music shops. I think there's a cluster in the Geylang Serai area.
Google Images has quite a supply. I counted at least 50 of Saloma's and a few dozens of Julie's.
I went through your blog and find the postings on movies pretty up to date and interesting reads.
Thanks for the visit.
