Poon Sow Keng is a Singaporean singer, born in Macau in 1935 and raised in the Malay Peninsula. In the 1950s, she moved from Singapore to Hong Kong to develop her career, working as an off-screen dubbing singer for films. She rose to fame in 1958 after recording the song "Qingren de Yanlei" (Lover's Tears), composed by Yao Min with lyrics by Chen Dieyi, and was hailed as the "Queen of Low Voice." Her list of classic songs includes many beloved works that audiences have cherished over decades. She spent most of her early career years touring and performing abroad. Between 1982 and 1983, she accepted an invitation from the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (now Mediacorp) to oversee vocal group training, opening a new chapter in vocal pedagogy. Under her tutelage, several notable singers such as Xiao Cheng Hong, Ye Zheng Wen, Qiao Feng, Bei Xin Ni, and Chen Peter grew and flourished.
