MEDLEY: PILIPINO LOVE SONGS-LETTERMEN


Relive the glory days of great Filipino music with the unique interpretation of fabulous group singers known as The Lettermen as they sing to all Filipinos the rare classics of the golden years.Dedicated to all Filipinos who sing along with the group since day one of 1959.

MABUHAY!!!



It's in 1974, when The Lettermen sung their first OPM at the FAT when The Miss Universe Beauty Pageant was held in the Philippines. The time Miss Amparo Munoz judged as The Most Beautiful Girl In The World." I remember them singing this song to all the contestant standing in the stage, followed by the song "Top Of The World." It was the composition of the 3rd generation Lettermen, composed of Tony, Donny and Gary. The OPM "Dahil Sa Iyo" top the chart in Philippine Music Industry and became favorites in all radio stations in the country. The enormous selling lead the 45rpm to a Gold Label and instantly hit the Platinum Record for a short span of time. This pave the way for another instant OPM hit, "Ikaw" and "Sapagkat Kami Ay Tao Lamang." For almost 5 decades, the group constantly add the Pinoy Love Songs to all their concerts especially if Filipino audiences are on the crowds. This is somehow made them a foreign group with Filipino spirits, as they sung all the hit songs with all their hearts, soul and mind. They are indeed to be recognized as naturalized Filipinos, the way they popularized our own songs all throughout the world. Paging, Manny Pacquiao---The Lettermen can sing the Philippine National Anthem, the way the composer and all of us Filipinos wants our National Hymn to be sung. Just give them a leeway of rehearsing the song and they will give justice to it. The way they're recognized as the best singing group to sing America's Star Spangled Banner National Anthem. I hope the group will sing for you on your coming fight with Miguel Cotto. What d'ya think?

I LOVE HOW YOU LOVE ME-LETTERMEN/Capitol Record


Dedicated to my loving wife, Maribel Lim Dayo and to Ms. xisanadu, who requested a video montage of one of my favorite song "I Love How You Love Me" by The LETTERMEN. Some pictures are taken at the Sultanate Of Oman, when I worked as a Graphic Artist in Al-Bayan Establishment, owned by His Excelency,Abdullah Ahmed Al-Ghazali. My regards to my former employer and thanks also to Mr. Salim Alawi Al-Ghazali and Mr. Abdul Tawab. You're all
greatpeople!



Remember the song that made us fall in love even in early age, when the palipad hangin na pagtingin ay laging ipinadarama on little things like saying; "Hi, kumusta ka na?" When at night you'll go strolling the streets of Paete and one full stop will be somewhere in Bagumbayan where she lives near the school. Tambay lang sa tapat ng bahay and when someone goes out e magtatago ka para di makita ng gusto mo namang makita. Hay, bakit ba ganun? Torpe ba ako o kulang sa lakas ng loob, pero okay lang. What matter most ay nakikita ko siya on school days, from Grade 1 to 5, we're classmates. Unfortunately, I'm not popular in my Grade 5 teacher and the results is a separation of sort between me and her. I was section 2 in Grade 6 and she remains the number one pupil in Section 1. We graduated the year 1969 (when this song goes too popular) and she's the school Valedictorian, while I'll take 2nd Honor in our class. Sarap, mag-reminisce ng nakaraan, it's simple back then, So simple like the song in here...so romantic, so elegant, so Lettermen!

I WILL LOVE YOU-LETTERMEN/Capitol Record



My most favorite song of The Lettermen in the 60's. Included in the album "Jim, Tony & Bob". Reminisce the past decade of serenading beautiful lass in Paete, Laguna. When everything in life and in love is so simple, when puppy love and secret love is up in the air with gusto. Remember the good old days of trying to join a singing contest as a singing group to sing this beautiful sentimental love song, but in the end will not meet the final list of deadline on time. Just remember, when time of passing by to the house of your secret love is just enough to make oneself happy. Those are the good old days and the good old days will stay with this kind of deep, sincere, inspirational song of the greatest singing trio of the world...THE LETTERMEN!
