Tam, 58, who enchanted Chinese audiences for decades with his love ballads and flamboyant dressing, died of liver cancer on October 18, 2002. Tam was one of Hong Kong's most talented and enduring crooners, whose inspirational Cantonese songs graced the airwaves throughout the 70s and 80s in the territory and Chinese audiences world-wide.
