ANNEKE GRONLOH is still revered today as the first legend in the history of Singapore Pop Music. When the new Federation of Malaysia was formed in 1963 out of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak and Sabah, it was records like this that were much more effective than the many governmental promotions to build up the new national spirit and pride in the new country among the young schoolchildren.
From her very first single "Asmara" that reached the top of the charts in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia in 1960, Anneke has been a constant and prominent factor in the international world of pop music. During the 60s, she was Holland's most successful singer, collecting more gold records and No. 1 hits than anyone else has ever done. The rest of Europe soon followed and the Far East....well they had already known Anneke's great talents before the Dutch. Some of her greatest hits over the years included Buka Pintu, Nina Bobo, Papa Dja, Boeroeng Kaka, Bengawan Solo, O Ina Ni Keke and of course one of her greatest hit in this region "Oh Malaysia", among many others.
24 Bit Mastering by Robin Cherry. Made In England.
