Luu Hong: A Second Mother to Me

I'll never forget the very first time I met this beautiful lady.  The year was 1995 at a nightclub called the Majestic in Huntington Beach, California.  At the time I was singing at a place called the Caravelle in Anaheim.  On that certain night sometime in February there was a night put together for another fellow Eurasian singer by the name of Cong Hung, a handsome fella who also sang in French.  I can't recall who was the emcee for the show that night.  It had to be one of the two, either it was Quoc Thai or Cong Thanh.  When I walked into the club, my eyes instantly were drawn to Luu Hong who was also present that night.

There she was, the same lady who sang Pho Dem, Cafe Dang, Tu Do Em Buon, Chuyen Hen Ho, and countless other songs.  I walked back and forth just to get her attention.  I didn't know who the emcee was.  I asked around and finally I saw Quoc Thai.  He asked me in English, "Excuse me, sir, may I help you?"  I answered back in Vietnamese and we both started to giggle.  That was when I noticed Luu Hong had overheard our conversation.  I turned to her and asked her, "Has this ever happened to you?  Do you get mistaken as an Anglo-American?"  She smiled and said, "When I was a little girl in Vietnam, yes, I did, all the time.  Now that I'm older, most Vietnamese people know who Luu Hong is, I don't get that anymore."  She then proceeded to ask who I was and invited me to sit next to her.  I couldn't resist this opportunity.


I don't remember what happened next.  But before I knew it, I think it was Cong Thanh who introduced me on stage as Luu Hong's son.  I can't tell you how many people thought he was serious that night.  For a while there, everyone thought I really was her son.

In the years that followed, wherever I performed, people would ask me if Luu Hong was indeed my mother. Well, she did treat me as if I was her son.  We became rather close.  On one occasion, I remember going to Phuoc Loc Tho, otherwise known as Asian Garden Mall, with Luu Hong and another fellow singer named Dai Trang.  I remember how the owner of Jean's jewelry store had asked me if they were my mother and sister.


By the time I had reached prominence in the singing business, Luu Hong had pretty much retired.  She had experienced some sort of injury while singing that led to her decision to retire.  Sometime in the year 2000, I did run into her at an event put together by the former South Vietnamese officers' association.  I remember how she came on stage, chimed in a few words to the song, Nang Xuan, and the audience just went wild.  In recent years, the last time I heard from her was about 3 years ago when both her mother and oldest son had passed away.  Luu Hong was still living in El Toro, California.  I truly miss her.  She really is like a second mother to me.

Dai Trang: Dancing All Night and Always Moving Forward

For as long as I've known Dai Trang, I've always been tremendously impressed with her drive and motivation.  She has always been a go-getter.  Nothing ever seems to hold her back from getting what she wants in life and achieving the goals she has set out for herself.  Dai Trang truly is an over-achiever who has set a perfect example for others to see what hard work and determination can bring in life. 

My friendship with Dai Trang started sometime in the year of 1994.  It had been just a few years since her arrival to the United States from Vietnam, yet she had already established herself as a household name with overseas Vietnamese audiences worldwide and was enjoying a highly successful singing career with a full schedule.  When she wasn't touring out of town, she was performing regularly at the Ritz Nightclub in Anaheim, California.  During this time, Dai Trang was also riding high with her professional association with May Productions as a regular performer on the Hollywood Night stage. With each appearance that Dai Trang was making on the Hollywood Night music video series, audiences were being mesmerized by her exotic Eurasian beauty, her charm and unique style of singing.  Among the songs Dai Trang had performed on Hollywood Night included Red Hot, Tokyo by Night, Venus, Jump in My Car, and the most memorable of them all, Dancing All Night.  That was also the song that had turned me into a Dai Trang fan.  On one volume of the Hollywood Night series, it was revealed how she had gained quite a following among admiring viewers who had taken notice of her physical beauty, as Dai Trang was deemed as the Vietnamese singer who had possessed the most attractive set of legs.

Hollywood Night music video series

When I first met Dai Trang, I was a bit nervous.  Our first meeting was sometime near the end of the year in 1994.  It was at her apartment somewhere in Garden Grove.  I had driven my good friend, singer Jenny Trang, over to Dai Trang's house, as the two had planned to meet up for lunch.  When I arrived, my intitial intentions were to just drop off Jenny and come back later on to pick her up once she was done with her visit.  But as I pulled up to the entrance of the apartment building, I was met with Dai Trang while she was waiting for us and was overtaken by her charm.  I just could not refuse Dai Trang's insistence that I come up to join them for lunch.  She was just so sweet and sincere that I just could not back out.  From that moment on, Dai Trang and I have grown to be more than just friends and colleagues, but our very special friendship which entails a strong love that has developed between us has become as close as that of actual siblings.


Dai Trang has been one of my true rocks throughout my years working in the singing business.  She has always been there to give me support and encouragement whenever needed in this often frustrating line of work.  One of the ways she has exemplified her duties of a benevolent big sister to me is how she has set an example of herself in order to teach me the ropes of attaining success and building for myself a sense of confidence.  Like I said, nothing ever gets Dai Trang down.  Her determination has been the driving force behind her success.

In the years that I've known Dai Trang, she has managed to have a successful singing career as well as a successful career as a businesswoman.  After many years in the spotlight, she decided to start a family as she is now mother to a son and wife to a wonderful man, Chau, an Oriental herbalist.  Since then she has gone back to school and earned herself an MBA Degree from UC Irvine in business marketing.   Together with her husband, the two have run a successful business, Phuc An Duong, a distribution firm of high quality Oriental herbs , and own a patent for Bach Lien Tra, a natural herbal tea product in which Dai Trang endorses on her self-produced Vietnamese language radio and television programs.  At one time, she also was part-owner of a Vietnamese television station.  Dai Trang still appears on video frequently for Blue Ocean Productions and performs every now and then at live shows all over the world.  Like I've often said about Dai Trang, she always seems to be running while the rest of us walk.

Lilian

While Thanh Ha and Phi Nhung were still in Vietnam back in the 1980s, Lilian was already doing her own thing here in the States, wowing audiences with her incredible voice at her live performances. The first time I ever saw Lilian perform on stage was way back in 1987 at a Vietnamese nightclub in in Orange County called Club Rex.  I was only about 14 at the time, and somehow was snuck in by my older cousins through a back entrance.  Once I got in and was able to see the line-up of live musical performers, I was completely impressed by one singer in particular, Lilian.  I just couldn't get over just how much energy Lilian had as a live performer.  It was during the time when Euro New Wave and Italo Disco music was really popular.  Lilian sang songs like You're My Love, You're My Life, Heartflash Tonight, Heaven and Hell, and Say You'll Never perfectly, some she sang even better than the original artists.  She definitely stood out from the rest of the Vietnamese performers for several reasons like her high energy style of performing, her gestures and dance moves that were typical of a Westerner unlike most other Vietnamese singers at the time, and the most obvious distinguishing factor about Lilian, how she didn't look at all Vietnamese due to her mixed background as an Amerasian.

After that first night seeing Lilian perform live at Club Rex, I searched everywhere hoping to buy Lilian's cassettes without much luck.  Some of the Vietnamese music stores I went to didn't even know who she was.  Finally, I think it was either at Bich Thu Van in Phuoc Loc Tho (Asian Garden Mall) or at Tu Quynh on Bolsa and Brookhurst in Westminster where I found a few compilation cassettes consisting of various other Vietnamese recording artists that had featured Lilian with only a song or two.  The quality in the production of these cassettes were pretty much forgettable.  I remember two tracks Lilian had recorded in particular that I had found to be really enjoyable to listen to; a cover she had done of CC Catch's Heaven and Hell, which was a track where Lilian had made a guest appearance on an album of a French-Vietnamese singer named Yen Huong, and another Euro New Wave cover of CC Catch's that she recorded with the worst title imaginable, You Shot a Whole in My Soul.  I was already hooked on Lilian from that first time I saw her perform live.  I just couldn't wait for her to come out with more recorded songs, preferably an album of her own, one of these days.

In 1993, my good friend, hairstylist and make-up artist, Perry Zeild, invited me to accompany him and singer Kieu Nga at a shooting of a music video production at the Ritz Nightclub in Anaheim. When I walked in, I saw this beautiful tall girl.  I asked Perry if that was a singer that used to sing at Club Rex by the name of Lilian.  Perry said yes.  I couldn't believe it.  It had been years since I had been to any Vietnamese nightclub and I hadn't heard or seen anything of Lilian's out in the market. That was when I found out through Perry that Lilian had been performing regularly at the Ritz all these years after Club Rex had closed down.  I remember asking Perry if he knew whether Lilian was Amerasian or not.  He gave me a puzzled look while he shook his head and said, "I can't believe you of all people can't tell that she's a halfie."  By the way, that was when Lilian shot the music video to Finally for Shotguns Productions.

Lilian would be formally introduced to the Vietnamese general audience the following year when she signed with Sao Dem Productions that would produce many of her solo studio albums throughout the 1990s.  I then started going to Ritz quite often just to watch Lilian perform.  I really loved watching her, especially whenever she would sing What's Up?  It wouldn't be for another couple of years when I finally got to know her through a mutual friend, singer Cathy Dung.  And then another few more years before I would get to work with her on several shows, as well as singing alongside her on a few occasions at the Can Club and the Majestic.  All I can say about Lilian is she is just one awesome person.  We've known each other now for nearly 20 years, and I've never once had a disagreement with her.  That's really saying something for anyone who has known me for that long.  Lilian has been like a big sister to me.  I'm not sure if she is 5 or 6 years older than myself.  But what does it matter?  She still looks great after all these years.  I truly cherish our friendship.  And I hope that we will be able to work together again in the near future.  Lilian is just the best!

Randy

Among Vietnamese male vocalists who sing traditional Vietnamese pop music, there are Tuan Vu, Manh Quynh, Che Linh, Truong Vu, Nhat Truong, Duy Khanh, etc.  The list just goes on and on.  My favorite out of all these male vocalists has always been Randy.  Yes, Randy.  He's the only one that can put me to tears with his heartfelt, soulful voice when listening to this type of music.  Amazing doesn't even begin to describe his talent.

I remember the first time I heard about him was when he first appeared on Vietnam Performing Arts Television in 1992 with the song, No.  His interpretation of that song was so moving that I had to record it on my VCR and play it over and over again the next few weeks.  And then he appeared again on Vietnam Performing Arts Television with another song, Loi Dang Cho Mot Cuoc Tinh.  At that point, I was sold.  He definitely had me with his unique voice.

It's rather hard to believe when I think about it.  How is it that I can turn into a fan of a singer such as Randy?  After all, the type of music that I sing is not even close to what Randy sings.  I had to go out and buy a few CDs Randy had recorded for Hai Au Productions.  On one particular CD, Randy sang along with two other artists, also Amerasian, half Black and half Vietnamese, Jenny Trang and Quoc Viet, who would later become known as Luu Quoc Viet.  I immensely enjoyed that one.  I had become friends with both Jenny Trang and Quoc Viet by that time.  But I had yet to meet Randy.

Sometime in 1994, I had been invited to perform in Australia.  The show promoter that had invited me kept raving about Randy on a previous show he had put together with Randy, Thai Chau, Thanh Tuyen, Nhu Mai, Lynda Trang Dai and Don Ho.  Basically what he was saying was the audience just adored Randy and that the response Randy had received, Thai Chau couldn't even hold a candle to.  I thought to myself, I've got to meet this Randy.

Two years after that, I was in Oakland to do a 2-night booking at a club named Phuong Hoang.  Right before I was supposed to go up on stage, someone had informed me Randy was in the audience.  I was so excited.  Here was my chance to finally meet him.  When the emcee announced my name, I went up and did my first set of songs.  I looked all over the audience and Randy was nowhere to be found.  Since I was headlining that night, it would have been odd if I just started to walk all around the club just to look for someone.  So I just went backstage, asked that same person who had told me about seeing Randy a few minutes prior.  That was when I found out Randy had left right before I went on stage.  What is up with this guy?  I guess it wasn't in the cards for us to ever meet.

Finally, it happened. A few weeks after that engagement in Oakland, I was at the Majestic Club one night with Jenny Trang.  During the middle of our conversation, Jenny turned to me and said, "My husband's here."  I thought she was referring to Thanh Le, who in fact was Jenny's ex-husband.  And then I turned around and saw this good-looking tall Black guy with a great, big smile on his face.  He looked at Jenny and said, "Chao ba xa!"  (Hello, wife!)  They both started giggling.  Jenny introduced me to him and he slapped me on the shoulders and said, "I know who he is."  From that moment on, we became the best of friends.

Through the years, I've always referred to Randy as "anh" in Vietnamese, mainly because he started singing long before I did.  In reality, Randy is only a year older than I am.  It was through our mutual friendship with Quoc Viet, later known as Luu Quoc Viet, that would bring us even closer.  I ran into Randy at Luu Quoc Viet's funeral in 2008.  By then, I had left the singing business for about 7 years. Randy invited me to tour with him on a series of shows for Gia Dinh My Viet.  When I think about it, Randy is the one responsible for my return to the stage.  On one particular booking, Randy and I traveled together to Houston to do a show for Gia Dinh My Viet.  On that show, I was reminded of his incredible talent when he got up on stage and sang a song he had written himself, Sau Cuoc Chien.  There wasn't a dry eye in the audience that night.  He put me in tears with his heartfelt performance.  I needed a few minutes to dry my tears before it was my turn to get up on stage and sing.  He is truly an amazing artist.

It's been a while since I've seen Randy.  I've heard he got married and is quite happy.  I only wish the best for Randy.  He'll always be like the brother I have never had.

A Tribute to Phuong Thao

We've all heard of the difficult challenges Amerasians had to face in Vietnam during the years after the Fall of Saigon.  Being a minority in a homogeneous society would certainly not be without its challenges, especially in a country such as Vietnam in the years after an unpopular and lengthy war. Many Amerasians were shunned by society in Vietnam, left as orphans abandoned by both parents. But one Amerasian in particular, Phuong Thao, had defied the odds and rose to fame with her God-given talents as a Vietnamese pop singer.

I remember meeting Phuong Thao during my first trip back to Vietnam in the winter of 1991.  I was 19 years old at the time, in college and a volunteer worker for an organization called Amerasian Services that was based out of St. Anselm's Refugee Center here in Orange County, California.  After a few months into my volunteer work, I was asked by the director of Amerasian Services, Mary Payne Nguyen, to accompany her on a trip to Vietnam to assist Amerasians who were in waiting for their applications to be approved in order to come live in the United States under the Amerasian Homecoming Act.  During the months that some of these Amerasians were in waiting, they would be temporarily stationed at the Amerasian Transit Center located in the Dam Sen district of Ho Chi Minh City.  While there, on one sunny afternoon Phuong Thao pulled up on a motorcycle with bags full of clothes and presents that she brought with her to give to those Amerasians and their families at the Amerasian Transit Center.  Dressed in jeans and a Polo T-shirt, the only thing that set her aside from everyone else was a pair of sunglasses that she wore.  I had no idea she was a famous singer.  As everyone at the center flocked to crowd around her, I was a bit hesitant to say hello.  But when we were introduced to one another, she took off her glasses and gave me the friendliest smile.  That would mark the first time I met Phuong Thao.

During our conversation together, I found her to be very warm and humble.  I addressed her as chi, since I found out she is 5 years older than me.  As we talked, I couldn't help but to ask her why she hadn't submitted her application with the Amerasian Homecoming Act to come live in the United States.  Her answer to me was that she felt her life was quite settled in Vietnam.  Her singing career had just taken off.  She had just recently gotten married to a fellow who was a film actor in Vietnam.  Phuong Thao was well aware that although her singing career had strong potential in the overseas Vietnamese community, the same could not be said for husband's career should they decide to relocate and live in the States.  She made a lot of sense.  After all, it isn't easy to make it in show business in any country.  Phuong Thao had done so in her native Vietnam.  During the early 1990s, Phuong Thao was one of the brightest young talents in the music industry of Vietnam.  I guess you could say that she had reached diva status back then in Vietnam, since her immense popularity had placed her in the ranks of such iconic superstars at the time like Cam Van and Bao Yen.  Given her level of success, I can understand why she wouldn't want to have to start all over again in a foreign country.

That night I went to go watch her sing at the Rex Hotel in Saigon.  I went backstage to say hi.  There just wasn't enough time for her to talk much with me then.  You see, singers in Vietnam have to perform at 5 or 6 different places nightly.  The Rex Hotel was only Phuong Thao's second stop with 4 more to go to on her nightly performing schedule.  Nevertheless, she was happy to see me.  And I was happy to be able to see how the singers of Vietnam worked on a daily basis.  It truly is a whole different world.

Ngoc Le and Phuong Thao

The next time I would see Phuong Thao was in 1998 when I traveled back again to Vietnam.  By this time, I had heard she had gotten remarried to a musician named Ngoc Le.  I went to watch her perform at the Lan Anh music venue where the crowd went wild as she sang her big hit written by her husband, Cafe Mot Minh.  I didn't get a chance to talk with her this time around.  But I was very happy to see that things seemed to be going alright for her.

Phuong Thao and Ngoc Le
together with their two children

In recent years, I had heard that she had been reunited with her American father and has since moved to the United States.  With the exception of an appearance on video for Asia Productions, Phuong Thao has not really participated much in the overseas Vietnamese entertainment industry.  I don't know why, since the last time I heard her sing live at a benefit show for the disabled put together by my friend, Thanh Le, in 2013, she sounded and looked great.  To me, it didn't seem as if she had lost her touch one bit/  That is why I'm puzzled as to why her career hasn't continued to flourish upon her resettling here in the States.

Despite how Phuong Thao's performances have been rather seldom in recent years, I'll always look onto her as a pioneer for Amerasian singers.  The fact that she, as an Amerasian, was able to defy the odds and make it in Vietnam to become one of the most popular singers there is astounding.  Phuong Thao has been a hero to all Amerasians, especially to Amerasian performers like myself.  

Phi Nhung: Our Other Amerasian Diva of Vietnamese Music

If Thanh Ha is considered the Amerasian diva of Vietnamese popular music, Phi Nhung would surely be the Amerasian diva of more traditional Vietnamese music.  From the early 1990s when Phi Nhung first entered onto the scene as an overseas Vietnamese singer of traditional Vietnamese music, audiences quickly embraced her genuine style of singing.  Starting with her earliest audio recordings for the music label, Thuy Anh, Phi Nhung had shown strong potential with her interpretations of traditional and folkloric music, especially being able to sing with an authentic Southern Vietnamese accent on folk songs originally from that particular region of Vietnam.  An Amerasian, of inter-ethnic mixed parentage, Phi Nhung's striking European features coupled with her dress attire of a traditional Vietnamese pheasant girl brought a pleasant contrast with audiences.


Born in Pleiku, Vietnam on October 4, 1972, Phi Nhung grew up without her father who was an American serviceman.  In a family of 5 other siblings and her mother, Phi Nhung's unfortunate circumstances only allowed her to attend school up until 6th grade.  At the age of 17 in 1989, Phi Nhung was able to come live in the United States under the Amerasian Homecoming Act.  She first resettled in Tampa, Florida where she began pursuing her childhood dreams of becoming a professional singer.  After a chance meeting with Vietnamese-American singer, Trizzie Phuong Trinh, Phi Nhung was given an invitation in 1993 to come to California where she would be introduced to Tien Bac, the owner of Thuy Anh Productions.

Phi Nhung's first recordings for Thuy Anh were not met with much reception from the overseas Vietnamese audiences.  But with the encouragement of overseas Vietnamese singing legend, Huong Lan, Phi Nhung continued relentlessly to pursue her dream.  After her video appearance on May Productions' Hollywood Night Volume 15 video series on a duet song, Song Que 1, with Thai Chau, Phi Nhung began to win the hearts of Vietnamese audiences.  Soon after, her other recordings of songs such as Bong Dien Dien, Co Le, Lam Dau Xu La, and Ngau Hung Ly Qua Cau would turn Phi Nhung into a superstar. 

Her numerous collaborations with Phuong Nga, K Productions, Thuy Nga Paris, and Tinh Productions have made her a bestseller among Vietnamese singers and led her to travelling around the world performing to Vietnamese audiences worldwide.  There was a time Phi Nhung and myself were label mates.  In 1998, she and I were both under contract with Bien Tinh Productions.  That was when we became friends.  One thing I really appreciate about Phi Nhung is the fact that she has never forgotten her roots.  Phi Nhung has been one of the few Amerasian artists that have taken part on shows promoted by Gia Dinh My Viet to raise awareness for Amerasian causes. 

Since 2005, Phi Nhung has been associated with Rang Dong Productions, based in Vietnam.  She continues to appear frequently on Van Son Productions and Thuy Nga Paris.  Phi Nhung's duet video appearances with Manh Quynh have been one of the biggest hits on the Paris By Night stage.  In addition to Phi Nhung's successful career as a singer of traditional Vietnamese music, she has also found success on the "cai luong" stage.  Her versatility has been one of the many reasons why she has become a legendary overseas Vietnamese artist, a status of Phi Nhung that remains to this day.

Thanh Ha

My Friendship with Thanh Ha

Thanh Ha is perhaps the most successful Amerasian singer out there.  I remember the first time I met this beautiful girl was in 1994.  At the time she was singing at a club called the Can Club in Garden Grove.  I was really surprised to see this blonde girl sing in Vietnamese.  To me, she looked like Michelle Pfeiffer.  The funny thing was neither one of us knew we were Vietnamese upon meeting one another.  I remember the song she sang that night was "Autumn Leaves".  I came up and did a French song called, "Adieu, Sois Hereuse".  We talked for a bit and didn't really become close friends until years later.  I guess you can say that right then and there I knew she was going to make it big. 

It wasn't until 2008, when we ran into each other again at a restaurant in Newport Beach, Kitayama.  I was working as a bartender there at the time.  She walked in with a group of friends and we instantly recognized each other.  I was about fifty pounds overweight then.  She looked at me and said, "Thien Phu?"  I said, "Yes, I know I got fat."  She said, "No, you look great."  We exchanged phone numbers and for a while, we were rather close friends.  Everywhere we went together, people would think we were brother and sister.  Thanh Ha is actually three years older than myself.  She's part-German.  I'm part-Swedish.  For some reason, people would often ask if I was her older brother.  Well, maybe that has to do with the fact that she looked younger than I did when I was experiencing the weight gain.  But things have changed since then.  Although she still looks great, I think since I've lost the weight, I don't look as old anymore. 

During the course of our friendship, I must say something about Thanh Ha.  And that is, she's definitely a professional.  She's pretty much a no-nonsense kind of girl.  She says it like it is.  Whenever she hear me sing on stage, she'd tell me what were my faults and if I did well, she'd say so.  Never is she the type that would sugar coat anything.  I like that about her.  Thanh Ha is also very family-oriented.  One thing she has always told me, whenever I've gone through bad times is, "Think about your mom first, before you decide anything." 

Unfortunately, we don't keep in contact that much these days.  After we had some misunderstanding after a show she had invited me to in San Jose, our friendship sort of drifted.  Since then, we've only seen each other again once.  We've talked on the telephone, of course.  And I still consider her as a close friend.  She will always be like a sister to me, regardless.  One thing I must appreciate about our friendship is that regardless of whatever happened, I have never heard her say one bad thing about me and the same vice-versa.  Afterall, we are adults. That's really all I can say about Thanh Ha.  I love her very much and I'm glad to see that she's still very active in the singing business.  I do know that someday we'll be friends again.
