Bai Guang
Bai Guang (November 27, 2014 Beijing-August 27, 1999 Kuala Lumpur) also known as Guang Bai, Bai Kwong, Bai Guang or Bai, Guang was a Chinese singer and actor.
Born in Beijing in 1921, Bai Guang began her career as a singer in Shanghai during the 1930s, and quickly rose to fame due to her powerful voice and unique vocal style which blended traditional Chinese melodies with elements of jazz and swing. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Bai Guang became one of the most popular singers in China, and also starred in numerous films, earning critical acclaim for her performances. However, following the Communist takeover of China in 1949, many of her songs were banned for being too westernized, and she was forced to stop performing publicly. In 1952, she and her family moved to Hong Kong, where she lived for several years before relocating to the United States. In the 1960s, Bai Guang returned to Asia and resumed her singing career, performing in Taiwan, Japan, and Malaysia, among other countries. She passed away in Kuala Lumpur in 1999 at the age of 77.
