36 years ago, the Lost Begun…
A tribute to the maestro… Your songs will live forever. GETARAN JIWA, probably his greatest song performed here by Ismail Haron, a 1974 recording and for me personally one of the best interpretations of this beautiful song from the film ‘Antara Dua Darjat’.
All photos taken from the encyclopedic book of Malay films KACA PERMATA – Memoir Saorang Pengarah by JAMIL SULONG, also a maestro of Malay films.
Passed away on the 29th May 1973 at the age of 44, exactly 36 years ago
Al fatihah……Legacy beliau tetap kekal dan di sanjungi.

P Ramlee may get “Tun”?
“Saya jarang memegang watak besar dan biasanya hanya bekerja di belakang tabir. Jadi, saya nak cuba buktikan yang saya juga boleh berlakon,” ujar Najua yang turut aktif dalam bidang nyanyian.
