HKVP Radio is a resource for Cantonese music (Cantopop) from Hong Kong from the '70s, '80s and '90s. The Cantopop genre scaled great heights during the mid-80s to the mid-90s. Both artistes and producers teamed to produce songs and films of outstanding quality such as not heard of in Hong Kong previously. Cantopop stars such as Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, Priscilla Chan and Danny Chan quickly became household names in the then British colony in the late 1980s with exciting talents such as Beyond, Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau soon emerged as firm contenders in the early 1990s. The reason for the blooming of this creative era is due to of a healthy Hong Kong economy, during which where sponsors and record companies were able to sign composers as well as the artistes with lucrative contracts worth millions of Hong Kong dollars in addition to employing professional musicians to accompany these singers. Furthermore, the emergence of Hong Kong as a Westernized country meant that the territory has to possess a tangible and positive image of its own to reflect its status as a prosperous city. There would be no better alternative than to project this into the entertainment industry where glitz and glamor complement each other well. The peak of this golden age could be said to have been the era when the "Four Heavenly Kings" (Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok and Leon Lai) were first introduced to the adoring Hong Kong and overseas China|Chinese communities. Featured singers include:
