Quintessential King of Cantopop
Alan Tam, former member of the beloved Hong Kong band Wynners, began a musical career overshadowed by fellow bandmate Kenny Bee. When he finally broke out as a solo artist, his fame skyrocketed, leaving bad history and bandmates behind. It's good he did. For 10 years, Alan has produced nothing but great records. His love songs have characterized '80s Cantopop. His croon transports us back in time. In the recording studio, Alan is nothing but a darling to our ears and hearts. What a legend he is.

James Voon from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on September 4, 2005
In my opinion, Alan is one of Asia's best (if not the best) singers ever. Every song has meaning and is sung with emotion. No one cut quite so high or bright an arc in Asian pop music during this era as did Alan Tam. Whether alone as in his later career or with long-time band, The Wynners, he consistently surprised, delighted and edified his audiences with thoughtful, memorable, and amazingly durable songs and melodies that one still finds himself humming late into the night. No one will ever deny his lasting appeal or his talent as both a singer and as a performer. His music has a certain distinctive vibe about it that makes you drawn to every sound. His is the type of music you can play anywhere and just listen to it for hours. Also, Alan's story telling is awesome! After a few listen to his songs...you'll feel as if he's talking to you. I don't think there's ever been an artist who told stories like Alan (Though Bob Dylan comes to mind, he's no Alan!!!)


James Voon from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on August 1, 2005
There is within music an ability to tap into the raw, revelatory power of beauty; music can give itself to the unknown whisper of the eternal in ways that other forms of art only hint at. The collage of sounds communicates something deep to the heart and, when combined with the presence of the voice, can be downright liberating. Few individuals, almost none in this time and age, ever really reach a point where they are that open to the Unknown that it can give itself so freely through their music. Alan Tam has done so time and again, always with a high level of directness and sincerity. He is a singing machine!! He brings an utterly romantic, comfortable, sensiblity to the Hong Kong music scene that simply did not exist in mainstream pop until he emerged. What a tremendous voice! You can tell he truly believes in these songs, and most of them are achingly beautiful. I especially enjoyed 'The Love Won't Change'. If it doesn't move you to tears and give you goosebumps, I'll be very surprised. Not to be negative or disparaging, but Alan Tam leaves Jacky Cheung and even Leslie Cheung far behind in the dust. He is in a totally different league. I look forward to the day when my children ask me, "Dad, did you ever listen to Alan Tam?" Not only will I have stories to tell about live concerts, but I will be able to relive with them the goosebumps that his songs inevitably bring. If Cantopop is dead, Alan Tam was its apex. And Alan Tam has yet to be eclipsed!

littledragongrirl from San Francisco, California on May 10, 2005
I just come back from his concert that he have with Hacken Lee in Las Vagas. It was great. I love the songs that they sings and the clothes that they wear. The song is about the same as the Hong Kong concert but the first half they sing there new songs. Guess who the speical gusess? But I think all of you who like Hacken Lee or Alan Tam or have watch there Hong Kong Concert you know who the special guess. Alan Tam San Francisco Fana
