Jonathan Lee (李宗盛)

Recommended Posts

李宗盛, also known as Jonathan Lee, is known as the Godfather of Taiwan pop who left his legacy on the island's pop music during the later 1980s through 1990s. A household name in Taiwan, he wrote popular hits for veteran singers and lesser-known artists alike. He's also one of those composers who sings his own songs. He writes meaningful lyrics and his songs have influenced singers from Hong Kong and mainland China. Given his iconic status in the Chinese music world, I think Mr. Lee deserves his own thread for the contributions that he has made. :D

Glad you liked them. :)

He sometimes sing his songs better than the original singer whom he wrote it for. (領悟 is an exception). His

of 領悟 is very poignant. He said in his heart though, no one sings 領悟 better than Winnie Hsin. And I agree. Winnie sung it with impeccable beauty. Lee was stunned when her recording was released. No one including the composer can surpass her version.

I was surprised Lee also wrote a

for 黄鶯鶯 (Tracy Huang), an 80s veteran singer. Her voice equals 潘越雲 and 齊豫's.
