The Stylers (Singapore) - Di Tanjong Katong - Slide Show

Music is from The STYLERS' "Visit Malaysia 1990" album. Rhythm guitarist Randy Lee has since told me that this album was initially released by the band under the name "Our Songs, Vol. 1."
This prolific recording group began in the 1960's and thrived through the 1970's and beyond, releasing a long string of popular guitar instrumental dance music.
I found these old photos at the National Archives of Singapore website: picas.nhb.gov.s...
The STYLERS' "Di Tanjong Katong" is perfect for this little slide show that shows life in Katong and Joo Chiat area in the early 1960's as I remember it.
Katong Beach and Joo Chiat was where I grew up in the late 50s and early 60s. The area has changed a lot since then, as the slide show also shows the neighbourhood as it looks today.
My beloved Katong Beach is no longer where it used to be, but has been moved farther south.
