Chow fan meets fish and chips: SCMP's review on Samuel Hui's Cantonese single in 1974

Lay down your weary tune: Sam Hui has done just that - and in Cantonese too. Confused, defused or bemused? It's all very simple really. The new Sam Hui single will be sung in Cantonese. In fact, the two songs featured as background music for the Sam and Michael Hui starrer, "The Gamblers." Both songs have been composed by Sam. How would you describe them? How about East meets West? Or chow fan meets fish and chips? An album, again featuring all Cantonese material, is in the works. ("In the works" - pop/rock jargon meaning in the planning stages). There is talk that Sam may even decide to sing in English again ... someday ... over the rainbow.
