From mod-ified music:
The Crescendos were the first Singaporean group to be signed on by an international recording label, Philips. Comprising three guitarists, John Chee, Leslie Chia, Raymond Ho and 15-year-old powerhouse singer Susan Lim, the band first performed in Radio Singapore’s 1961 Talentime Contest. Their first few releases were hits in Singapore, Malaysia and Holland, and the band later included a bass guitarist (Israel Lim) and drummer (Peter Soh) to their line up.

We used to have one of their very popular EPs(45 rpm) with the song Frankie. Such a pity that Susan Lim passed on at an early age. Indeed Tragedy Lies in Waste
