"Hiroshima Love" Jeremy Chang & Karen Mok (Part I)

(News taken from June 2004)

Song: "Hiroshima Love" (Guang Dao Zhi Lian) 1989


Composer: Jeremy Chang / Lyrics: Jeremy Chang / Arranger: Tu Ying

Singers: Jeremy Chang, Karen Mok

"Hiroshima Love" was a help in boosting Karen Mok's career. At that time, record sales reached up to 400,000 copies. Many years later, "Hiroshima Love" remains one of most popular song on KTV. Jeremy stated that at the time, he never received one penny of royalty for this song. Both Karen Mok and Karena Lam were once students under Jeremy, but both have left to pursue their careers elsewhere. Now seeing his students having a successful career, he is very happy for them, "It was because I was poor then. As a composer, I didn't have very much money to invest in a singer. A singer has the right to choose a better and more financially stable record company to help their career grow. "

MY says:
It's no wonder that some people have been mislead to think that Jeremy was claiming Karen's "Hiroshima Love" as his work. I've seen one website that had Karen's name for both music and lyrics. But as with all news, most people will usually reside on the side of the person that is more popular.
