About Me
- goldenvenus
- Singaporean aged 59, been through a few occupations currently in a semi retired mode although working on a project to project basis.
The Crescendos first two releases made number one in Singapore and Malaysia based on units sold. They really did open the way for other bands and singers that Philips signed in their wake.
