Sudirman had 20 albums and
70 songs to his name over his 16-year career. In 1989, Sudirman was crowned best singer at the
Asian Popular Music Awards in Royal Albert Hall, London. In 1987 his song
“Merisik Khabar” topped the charts in Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei and stayed
as the no 1 song for two months. He recorded an album with Stock, Altken &
Waterman (SAW), one of the most successful British songwriters & producers
at the time. His Chow Kit Road concert of 100,000-attendance has never been
replicated nor has a similar concert been organized since. Sudirman’s style and
performance traversed cultural and racial boundaries. He can sang in Malay,
English, Chinese and also Tamil.
