FMM: Channeling Coco

The Asian music scene was shocked this week upon hearing of Coco Lee’s passing.

She was the singer who broke the glass ceiling for Chinese-American singers. From her career beginnings in HKG, to her stellar turns in Hollywood, to her Oscar performance and nomination - she blazed trails and opened so many opportunities for Asian singers.

I’ve always been a fan of Coco Lee and wrote about her in the past. That’s why it’s sad to think that we won’t be hearing her voice again.

That’s why today’s Friday Magic Madness song is dedicated to her. It’s one of her big hits from the 90s, which was also a song from the hit film “Runaway Bride.”


“Before I fall in love” is such a beautiful song, made even more beautiful with her voice.

And her voice will surely be missed.
