Hacken Lee Wikipedia

Hacken Lee (born December 6, 1967), is a Hong Kong Cantonese male singer.

Lee won the 1985 Hong Kong 19 Hong Kong District Singing Contest with the song "Love In The Fog" (霧之戀), Alan Tam's megahit, and launched himself to moderate stardom within the industry, signing for Polygram. Despite a staggeringly sensational voice, at first, he was a relative unknown and the sales of his first EP albumn "李克勤(EP)" did not even cross the 5,000 mark in sales. In 1988, he acted in a TVB television series "Teenage No More" (不再少年時). This ignited his popularity and his career steadily took off.

In 1992, he reached one of the highest points of his career. His song "The Red Sun" (紅日) is still widely recognised to this day as the prime "feel-good" song in Hong Kong society (he wrote the lyrics himself). In fact, this song appeared right at the moment when the golden age of Cantopop was blooming and his music was well-received.

His fortunes turned for the worst after 1995 though after various contract disputes with his record company, for a short while with no recording contract and he was reduced to demeaning presenting for TVB, such as the music programme "Jade Solid Gold". He signed for Universal Music (his current record company) in 1999 and released successive hits, including "Flying flower", "Feet of Fortune" (前後腳)-2001, "I Don't Know How to Sing"(我不會唱歌)-2003 and "The Grasp of Love"(愛不釋手)-2002, among other supreme pop songs, all catalytic to his current deserved super-stardom.
He has now won twice in succession the TVB Jade Solid Gold Award for Most Popular Male Singer (2002 and 2003). His concerts, from 2001 onwards, have soldout on almost all occasions.

In 2004, he cooperated with Joey Yung for the first time, of which the combination is better known as 克不容緩.

Other hits (among hundreds) from an artist who best performs slow pop ballads include:

• "The Half-Moon Serenade" (月半小夜曲)-1986 (re-released in 1989)

• "The Exhibition Hall" (大會堂演奏廳)-1988

• "Unchangeable In My Lifetime" (一生不變)-1989

• "A Thousand and One Evenings" (一千零一夜)-1990

• "I Just Want Your Consent" (只想您會意)-1992

• "Regress" (回首)-1993

• "I Love No Other" (一生不愛別人)-1993

• "Hope" (希望)-1994

• "Lone Flyer" (一個人飛)-1996

• "By My Side" (在我身邊)-1997

• "The Football Chronicles" (球迷奇遇記)-1998
