Date : 30th July 2006
Venue : Planet Hollywood, KL Plaza Building, Kuala Lumpur
Event : Sheila Majid Sunday Nite Showcase
Gosh! has it been 20 years?? My my, it has. More actually, as I can still remember way back in 1985 (when I was in Form Four!) when Malaysia first heard on radio, jazzy-pop numbers by this petite young singer that goes by the name Sheila Majid. Hey, who can forget tunes such as ‘Dia’, ‘Pengemis Muda’ , ‘Gerimis Semalam’ and many more!! The 20 years plus journey has taken people like me thru memorable stops such as ‘ground-breaking ‘Emosi’, ‘Warna’, ‘Hitam Putih Kehidupan’ the Ikhlas Tapi Jauh unit, ‘Gemilang’, ‘Warna Tours’, ‘Konsert Legenda in Stadium Negara 1991’, Japanese number ‘Sparkle’ (the only non-Malay song in the legendary Konsert Legenda 1991), P.Ramlee’s Legenda, Ratu, Jentayu with Nora & Johan Nawawi, ‘Bersatu Hati’ with the Aziz sisters of Liza & Azlina, ‘Ku Mohon’, duet with Harvey Malaiholo ‘Begitulah Cinta’, duel with the boys of Poetic Ammo in the seldom-heard but superb tune ‘Tiada Tandingan, ‘Inikah Cinta’ the ‘15’ greatest hits album, yet another collaboration with the Indonesian musicians in ‘Cinta Kita’ … the list seems endless lah !
Last nite ‘s showcase was a packed-house standing room only affair and Sheila was in her element (as usual) backed by superb musos led by Acis and comprising pros such as Steve Thornton, Aji, Zailan Razak, Fendi & Fiad.
Close to 40 numbers were belted by Sheila Majid. You’re a bona-fide fan if you can sing along to about 30 of that 40 songs (err..as I found out myself!). And she even gave us that song taken from the movie ‘Ali Setan’ (where she made her one & only acting appearance)
Sheila Majid. A ‘colourful’ journey indeed. Thank you for the music.
