Celebrate Sharifah Aini this Raya

OUR legendary songstress, the late Datuk Sharifah Aini (pic), will long be remembered for her impressive rendition of a wide repertoire of songs, both in Malay and English, and her unique singing style that won her a huge following of fans here and abroad.

She was among the few illustrious pioneers in our local music industry, in an era that began more than four decades ago, when artistes in our country had to gain recognition and popularity through the exceptional quality of their performance, personality and perseverance, with hardly any modern “effects and props” to enhance their presentation.
