Billy Shane (1946-1994) was a Vietnamese pop singer most famous for his interpretations of French love songs.

Billy Shane left South Vietnam for the United States on March of 1972.  For the next 10 years, he lived in Hawaii and remained out of the music industry.  In the early 1980s, Billy Shane relocated to Southern California and eventually resumed his music career.  He became one of the first recording artists for the Asia Entertainment label, which was formed in 1984.  Billy Shane appeared on numerous audio cassettes produced by Asia Entertainment which comprised of various artists such as Duy Quang, Julie Quang, Thanh Mai, Jo Marcel, Kiều Nga, Elvis Phương, Ngọc Lan, Như Mai, Thái Hiền, Minh Xuân, Minh Phúc and Thái Thảo.  Among his most popular recorded songs for the Asia Entertainment label include Coupable, Living in the USSR and duets with Duy Quang of bilingual versions of famous French love songs such as Tombe la Neige, Elle était si jolie and Je N'ai Pas Changé.  On such duets, Billy Shane's vocals would be featured singing the French original lyrics, while Duy Quang's vocals would be featured singing the translated Vietnamese lyrics.  The massive popularity of the bilingual duets with Duy Quang led to an album produced by another label, Kim Ngân, entitled as Je t'aime in 1986.  For the remainder of the 1980s, Billy Shane headlined frequently at Club Rex, a Vietnamese cabaret located in Santa Ana, California and occasionally performed for overseas Vietnamese audiences in various regions of the United States.  In the 1990s, Billy Shane became a weekly headliner at the Diamond Nightclub in Fullerton, California.  In 1993, Billy Shane appeared with Duy Quang in a duet performance of their previously recorded song, Tombe La Neige, on volume 2 of Asia Entertainment's live show video series.  The following year, he would return on volume 4 of Asia Entertainment's live show video series in a trio performance of the song, Green Fields, with Duy Quang and Trung Hành.  Prior to his passing, Billy Shane had recorded background vocals for the title track of Thanh Hà's debut album, Một Đời Xin Nhớ Mãi (1994), released by Diễm Xưa Productions. 

During the summer of 1994, Billy Shane died unexpectedly from cardiac arrest leaving behind a wife, Barbara.  He was 48.  Very little is known about his personal life, as Billy Shane had always avoided being interviewed throughout his entire career.  Many of his colleagues and associates have recalled that Billy Shane had often made claims of being Emperor Bao Dai's illegitimate son.

Stephen Huynh

Stephen Huỳnh (1978-    ) also known as Stefan Wong or by his Chinese name, 黃長興, is an actor of film and television in Hong Kong. 

Born on September 22, 1978 in Hong Kong to parents of Hoa descent originally from Vietnam, Stephen Huỳnh was raised primarily in Paris, France from the age of 5.  His parents owned a garment manufacturing business while in Paris.  After completing his studies as a business major at university, Stephen Huỳnh had aspirations of becoming a commercial pilot.  His bilingual abilities in Cantonese and French landed him a position as a ticketing counter representative assisting first class passengers of Cathay Pacific Airlines flying in and out of Paris' Charles de Gaulle International Airport.  At the age of 23, Stephen Huỳnh made his first return trip to Hong Kong since emigrating with his family to France.  On this fateful trip, he would meet and develop a serious relationship with a flight attendant for Cathay Pacific, who was a native of Hong Kong.  In 2004, after 3 years of a long distance love affair Stephen Huỳnh decided to relocate to Hong Kong upon his contemplation of marriage.  He relinquished his position with Cathay Pacific back in Paris and found work as a marketing representative for a children's clothing company in Hong Kong.  Unfortunately, about a year after his repatriation to Hong Kong to be near his girlfriend, the couple ended their relationship which had lasted for nearly 4 years up until then. 

Single again at age 28, Stephen Huỳnh decided upon the suggestion from numerous co-workers and friends to enter the 2005 Mr. Hong Kong beauty pageant sponsored by TVB (Television Broadcasts Limited), the largest television network in the autonomous region.  Although he did not win the competition, Stephen Huỳnh placed as maturity division runner-up and was given enough exposure which enabled him to embark on a new career as a male model and actor in Hong Kong.  In 2007, he landed his first major role on a Hong Kong TVB drama series, Marriage of Convenience.  Despite Cantonese being his first language, Stephen Huỳnh's voice was dubbed in his first several television roles due to his thick accent much like a foreigner's since French had become his primary language after having been raised primarily in Paris, France.  Given how his Cantonese has improved dramatically through the years, Stephen Huỳnh has since used his real speaking voice in all of his acting credits on television and film in Hong Kong.  Among his most popular television drama acting credits on Hong Kong's TVB include War of In-Laws II (2008), D.I.E (2008), Forensic Heroes II (2008), Speech of Silence (2008), D.I.E. Again (2009), The Stew of Life (2009), ICAC Investigators 2009 (2009), The Beauty of the Game (2009-2010), The Mysteries of Love (2010), When Lanes Merge (2010), Can't Buy Me Love (2010), Every Move You Make (2010), Gun Metal Grey (2010), 7 Days in Life (2011), Only You (2011), Ghetto Justice (2011), The Other Truth (2011), Forensic Heroes III (2011), Let It Be Love (2012), The Greatness of a Hero (2012), Ghetto Justice II (2012), Every Move You Make II (2012), Silver Spoons, Sterling Shackles (2012), Awfully Lawful (2013), Triumph in the Skies II (2013), Line Walker (2014), Raising the Bar (2015), Smooth Talker (2015) and Angel-in-the-Making (2015).  Stephen Huỳnh has also acted in several Hong Kong feature films including Red Nights (2009), Fire of Conscience (2010), I Love Hong Kong (2011) and Line Walker (2016). 


In 2011, Stephen Huỳnh opened a French restaurant in Hong Kong.  Since August of 2012, he has been married to his wife, Peggy.  His younger brother, Francois Wong, won the 2006 Mr. Hong Kong beauty pageant.  

Thanh Phong

Thanh Phong (1942-    ) is a popular Vietnamese singer who had first risen to fame in Saigon during the 1960s as part of the all-male pop trio, Tam Ca Sao Băng.

Tam Ca Sao Băng:  (Left to Right) Thanh Phong,Phương Đại and Duy Mỹ

He was born to parents of Hoa descent on May 3, 1942 in Saigon, South Vietnam and was given the birth name, Đào Công Thanh.  At the age of 10, he became a pupil of renowned music teacher/talent promoter Nguyễn Đức, who would later come up with his stage name, Thanh Phong.  At the age of 18, Thanh Phong began performing nightly at the legendary Olympia Nightclub in Saigon and also collaborated with various singing troupes such as Văn Nghệ Bảo An and Biệt Đoàn Văn Nghệ Trung Ương.  In the early Sixties, Thanh Phong along with two other singer friends, Phương Đại and Duy Mỹ, formed the singing trio known as Tam Ca Sao Băng.  The trio became one of the most successful acts in the pop music industry of South Vietnam during the 1960s and early 1970s.  At major nightclubs and cabarets all over Saigon, they were headliners.  On a national level, the trio performed in live concerts for audiences in major cities throughout South Vietnam and recorded for various record labels such as Dư Âm, Sóng Nhạc, Sơn Ca and Mây Hồng.  Among their most popular recorded signature songs include Chúng Mình 3 Đứa (written by Song Ngọc & Hoài Linh), Gót Phiêu Du (written by Thanh Sơn) and Thôi (written by Y Vân).  Thanh Phong also scored tremendous successes in duets with various top female singers of South Vietnam prior to 1975 such as Trộm Nhìn Nhau (written by Trầm Tử Thiêng), recorded with Hoàng Oanh, Nếu Một Mai Anh Biệt Kinh Kỳ (written by Minh Kỳ & Hoài Linh), recorded with Phương Dung, Căn Nhà Màu Tím (written by Hoài Linh), recorded with Thanh Tuyền, Đường Tình Đôi Ngã (written by Lê Văn Thiện), recorded with Giao Linh and Lời Hát Cho Quê Hương (written by Bằng Giang), recorded with Phương Hồng Quế.

During the early 1970s, Thanh Phong's celebrity status in South Vietnam reached unimaginable heights not only because of his achievements in the pop music industry but from the unwanted publicity generated from the tabloids over his alleged extra-marital affair with singer Phương Hồng Quế, who is 11 years his junior.  It is believed that Thanh Phong had channeled the events in this alleged romantic liason with the young starlet into inspiration in order to come up with lyrics of the songs, Anh Buồn Em Thương, for which he had recorded as a duet with singer Thanh Tuyền, Đã Lỡ Duyên Rồi, for which he had recorded as a duet with singer Hoàng Oanh, and HợpTan, for which had been recorded by singer Thanh Lan.  As a songwriter/composer, Thanh Phong opted to be credited under the pen name, Nguyễn Đào Nguyễn.  He has publicly revealed that his pen name was a portmanteau of both his and his alleged lover's surnames.

After the Fall of Saigon, Thanh Phong collaborated with the Kim Cương Theater Troupe, headed by legendary actress Kim Cương, for a number of years.  Toward the end of April in 1979, Thanh Phong along with his wife and three daughters fled from the oppressive communist regime in Vietnam by boat.  After nearly a week at sea, the boat arrived safely, coincidentally on his birthday, May 3. 1979, at the Malaysian refugee camp island known as Pulau Bidong where he would be greeted by fellow singers Thanh Tuyền and Băng Châu.  While residing in Pulau Bidong, Thanh Phong owned and operated a local business he named Café Phong.

Like most refugees, Thanh Phong and his family's resettling to Paris, France during the early 1980s were not met without its challenges.  In a few years after their arrival, he and his wife pooled their resources together to take over a local candy shop business.  The steady revenue from the candy shop coupled with Thanh Phong's earnings performing for the overseas Vietnamese communities in France and other European countries enabled him to open up a Vietnamese cabaret nightclub located in the 13th district of Paris in 1985.  From 1986 to 1988, Thanh Phong traveled frequently to the United States and collaborated with various overseas Vietnamese music production labels such as Thanh Lan, Làng Văn, Người Đẹp Bình Dương and Thanh Thúy Enterprises, headed by legendary Vietnamese pop singer Thanh Thúy.  In 1998, Thanh Phong traveled to Toronto, Canada to appear on volume 45 of the popular live show music video series produced by Thúy Nga, Paris By Night, where he reunited with his old singing partner, Phương Đại, in a reprisal performance of their classic hit song, Tôi Trở Về Thành Phố (written by Y Vân).   In 2006, Thanh Phong traveled to Houston, Texas to perform on volume 52 of the popular live show music video series produced by Asia Entertainment with Tường Nguyên, Tường Khuê and Duy Trường a remake of his classic hit song, Ly Cà Phê Cuối Cùng (written by Minh Kỳ & Thế Vinh).  Thanh Phong has since been invited back to appear on several more volumes of Asia Entertainment's live show music video series.  Among his most memorable performances for Asia Entertainment include a duet performance with Ngọc Minh of the song, Anh Về Với Em (written by Nhật Trường) on volume 58 in 2008 and another duet performance with Phương Hồng Quế of the song, Đò Chiều (written by Trúc Phương) on volume 74 in 2014.  In March of 2013, Thanh Phong went on a successful concert tour of Australia.

On July 8, 2017, Thanh Phong's longtime wife of over 40 years, Liên Sa, passed away.  She was 76.  Together, Thanh Phong and his wife had 3 daughters, all of which are overseas Vietnamese singers.  His two eldest, Thanh Thanh and Thanh Mỹ, both reside in Paris, France, while his youngest, Thanh Vy, who used to record for Biển Tình Productions in the 1990s, currently resides in San Diego, California.  

La Suong Suong

La Sương Sương (1972-2007) was a famous overseas Vietnamese singer.

Born as Đỗ Thanh Trang on May 13, 1972 in Saigon, South Vietnam, she grew up in a large family as one of nine children.  At the age of 19, she entered Tiếng Hát Truyền Hình Thành Phố Hồ Chí Minh (Ho Chi Minh City Television Vocals Talent Search) competition and placed 4th out of more than 1,000 contestants.  Among the contestants at the competition included future overseas Vietnamese superstars Hồ Lệ Thu, whom she had tied with for 4th place, and Như Quỳnh, the winner.  It was at this competition where she would meet her lifetime partner, musician Nhật Trung.  La Sương Sương had chosen her stage name after a character in a Taiwanese movie.  For the next 3 years, La Sương Sương would embark on a promising professional singing career in Vietnam.  In 1993, she recorded a duet album with singer Minh Thuận in Vietnam for the music label, Mimosa, which is a subsidiary of Làng Văn.  The duet album was entitled, Có Nhau Trong Đời, and released two years later.   


Just when her name was about to reach national prominence in Vietnam's pop music industry, La Sương Sương and her family left their native homeland to resettle in the United States in 1994.  After a year living in San Jose, California, La Sương Sương relocated to Orange County, California.  Shortly thereafter, she was introduced to Thái Xuân, the owner of Diễm Xưa Productions, and was offered a recording contract with the label.  With the well-received releases from Diễm Xưa Productions of her debut studio album, Tình Đầu, during the spring of 1996 and a sophomore effort, Chia Tay Hoàng Hôn, during the fall of that same year, it was apparent that La Sương Sương was following in the footsteps of her predecessors, former labelmates Ý Lan and Thanh Hà, into becoming a major overseas Vietnamese pop music star.  For the next couple of years, La Sương Sương recorded a string of successful studio albums for the Diễm Xưa Productions label which included Không Còn Ai Yêu Anh Như Em Đã Yêu Anh (1997), Đừng Nói Yêu Em (1997), 18 Yêu Kiều (1998) and Nhớ Em Hà Nội (1998), a duet album with singer Vũ Khanh.  She also recorded several duets with male artists Hoàng Nam and Kỳ Anh for Diễm Xưa Productions.

Toward the end of the 1990s, La Sương Sương began to branch out and collaborated with various other overseas Vietnamese music labels such as Làng Văn and Tình Productions.  In 2002, La Sương Sương appeared together with Nhật Trung on volume 67 of the Paris By Night live show video series produced by Thúy Nga in a duet performance of a song he had written, Đành Chôn Theo Quên Lãng.  The pair would be invited back on the Paris By Night stage a total of 3 more times for volumes 68, 73 and 80 performing duets of the songs, Tình Trái Ngang (written by Nhật Trung), Trái Tim Buốt Giá (written by Nhật Trung) and Tình Em Mùa Xuân (written by Trường Huy), respectively.  In 2004, the pair released their duet album, Đêm Cô Đơn.  La Sương Sương's last solo studio album, Asian Top Hits: Nuối Tiếc Một Bờ Môi - Phai Dấu Cuộc Tình, was released on October of 2005 by Tình Productions.

In 2004, La Sương Sương's successful music career came to a screeching halt after she had been diagnosed with kidney failure.  On May of 2005, she traveled to mainland China for a kidney transplant procedure.  Several weeks after returning to the United States, La Sương Sương resumed her music career as her health had seemed to be improving.  Unfortunately, by the winter of that year, her body began to reject the transplanted kidney.  On December of 2005, she underwent another unsuccessful kidney transplant.  This would be followed by a couple of liver transplants with similar results.  La Sương Sương died on January 24, 2007 at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.  She is interred at Oak Hill Cemetery in San Jose, California.
