Teddy Robin

Teddy Robin strikes me as a genuine cultural foundation stone of Hong Kong. Born in Guilin in 1945, he rode the mid-1960s wave of Hong Kong English pop fronting Teddy Robin and the Playboys, then refused to be just a singer, expanding into composing, acting, directing, and producing. What impresses me is that being a multi-hyphenate did not dilute him; he delivered across all of it and stayed relevant for decades. He is a living link to an entire era of the city's music and film, the kind of all-rounder whose longevity proves the depth beneath the versatility.
