George Lam Chi Cheung (born 12 October 1947), also known professionally by his surname Lam, is a Hong Kong-based veteran Cantopop singer, singer-songwriter, music producer and actor. He has remained popular for four decades. Lam writes a lot of his own songs and occasionally writes for other artists. Many of the songs written by him have become classics of Cantopop. Sometimes he covers other people's songs. He is also the producer for most of his own albums. In terms of his vocals, he excels in a wide range of music - very powerful in fast rhythmic numbers, and very heartfelt in ballads. In recognition of his contributions to the music scene, Lam was awarded numerous awards including the Golden Needle Award in 1994, the CASH Hall of Fame Award in 2003, the J.S.G. Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015 and the RTHK Hall of Fame Award in 2016.

Biography

George Lam s1ticketmnettmenusdbimages114040ajpg

Lam was born in Hong Kong, and attended the Diocesan Boys' School in Kowloon, Hong Kong, a predominantly English-language boys school, in which he chose to study French rather than Chinese. He lived in England, where he studied at Dover College in Dover, Kent, and the United States (in Oakland, California) for many years, and worked as a tennis coach and stock broker before returning to Hong Kong to launch his music career.

Lam was the lead singer for a band called "Jade" until he went solo with his first English album "Lam" in 1976. His first Cantonese album, having the same name, was also released in the same year. Lam has remained popular in Hong Kong for four decades. He writes a number of his own songs; some of them have also been recorded by other singers. Lam has also acted in many films.

Lam first married in 1980 and has a son (Alex Lam Tak Shun, who is also a singer) and a daughter; they divorced in 1994. In 1996, he married singer and actress Sally Yeh, after they dated for many years, while Lam was still in his first marriage.
