MEDLEY: PILIPINO LOVE SONGS-LETTERMEN


Relive the glory days of great Filipino music with the unique interpretation of fabulous group singers known as The Lettermen as they sing to all Filipinos the rare classics of the golden years.Dedicated to all Filipinos who sing along with the group since day one of 1959.

MABUHAY!!!



It's in 1974, when The Lettermen sung their first OPM at the FAT when The Miss Universe Beauty Pageant was held in the Philippines. The time Miss Amparo Munoz judged as The Most Beautiful Girl In The World." I remember them singing this song to all the contestant standing in the stage, followed by the song "Top Of The World." It was the composition of the 3rd generation Lettermen, composed of Tony, Donny and Gary. The OPM "Dahil Sa Iyo" top the chart in Philippine Music Industry and became favorites in all radio stations in the country. The enormous selling lead the 45rpm to a Gold Label and instantly hit the Platinum Record for a short span of time. This pave the way for another instant OPM hit, "Ikaw" and "Sapagkat Kami Ay Tao Lamang." For almost 5 decades, the group constantly add the Pinoy Love Songs to all their concerts especially if Filipino audiences are on the crowds. This is somehow made them a foreign group with Filipino spirits, as they sung all the hit songs with all their hearts, soul and mind. They are indeed to be recognized as naturalized Filipinos, the way they popularized our own songs all throughout the world. Paging, Manny Pacquiao---The Lettermen can sing the Philippine National Anthem, the way the composer and all of us Filipinos wants our National Hymn to be sung. Just give them a leeway of rehearsing the song and they will give justice to it. The way they're recognized as the best singing group to sing America's Star Spangled Banner National Anthem. I hope the group will sing for you on your coming fight with Miguel Cotto. What d'ya think?
