indeed, he had left us with quite a legacy. may god bless his soul...

PS: Irony that they have this song "Andainya Aku Pergi Dulu Sebelummu". One part goes "ku nanti mu di pintu syurga". Imagine him, while battling cancer for the past eight years, having to sing this line with the knowledge that death was on his doorstep...

Oh. I am so sad.
How can I forget the Alleycats. Back in those days when I was in Malaysia, I'd be listening to the radio.
Quite something for a group of non-Malays to make it big among Malay audience.

May he rest in peace...

Hi eva, welcome back and thanks for dropping by.
I have had the good fortune to meet David and Loga several times up-close and personal and the last being in the NPC about maybe 2 years ago where they performed together for a media function (for free!) before they had to rush off to another gig at a leading hotel... and these guy are so friendly and no"airs" about them although they are pretty famous...true blue Penangites, yes that's what they are, more like one of the guys !
Cheers to Loga's memory !!

Another Penang lang bites the dust. Alleycats transcend all race barriers. they appeal to all. so long, farwell, i hate to say goodbye .... goodbye ... goodbye. we take heart you are leaving a cruel world for a better place John Lennon mentioned years ago. In the meantime, shanghai, have a few beers to drown the sorrow.

We lost a great musician today..
Alleycats is my favourite band since i am young until now...
I still remember me, my brother and sisters choosing the song "sampaikanlah salam" for the Juara Lagu. If i am not mistaken it was in 1989. And i am still listening to their song. In fact, while posting this comment, i am listening to their "Senandung Semalam".
May his soul rest in peace.

Damn... As much as David is the "frontman", for some reason I had always preferred Loga, especially when it comes to English songs... RIP Loga!
