George LamGeorge Lam

In 1978 issued the first solo Cantonese album "各師各法". In 1980, with "在水中央" and "分分鐘需要你", received two awards at the 3rd Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Awards; in 1981 became widely known again with the adapted song "三人行", and in the same year held the first solo concert "林子祥Show". Wikipedia records that the 1983 Hong Kong Coliseum concert made George Lam the first singer to open a four-sided stage at the Hong Kong Coliseum. In 1988, with "真的漢子", received a Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Award.

Creation is one of the main identities. The Paper records that most songs on the albums were original work, began writing songs at twenty, and by the time of that report had written nearly a thousand; George Lam not only plays piano and guitar, but has also written works such as "分分鐘需要你" and "幾段情歌". George Lam has said that creation is important, has never liked others coming to teach how to sing a song, and also thinks one should not say "sing" a song but "perform" a song; face-to-face interaction on the spot is important. When talking about not liking contests, said that what matters most in singing is to throw oneself in.

Wikipedia records a baritone quality and a high register that can reach E5 and F5, and cites "數字人生" as an example — the chorus of that song requires singing sixty-four notes in a row twice. In 1985 made twenty popular works into the medley "10分12吋"; the same year's "每一個晚上" was pieced together from music of the musical "Cats" and 黄自's "花非花".

In 1983, with the film "投奔怒海", received a nomination for Best Actor at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards, and also shot "貓頭鷹與小飛象" and "三人世界". In 1986, with "最愛是誰", the theme song of the film "最愛", won Best Original Song at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

George Lam's record companies included EMI (1976–1983, 1995–2001), Warner Hong Kong (1983–1995) and Pony Canyon (1995–1998). In 1983 Lowell Lo's demo was originally intended for George Lam to record; after hearing it, EMI president 黃啟光 signed Lowell Lo directly, and that year released "天鳥".

In October 1982 jointly performed "Endless Love" with Teresa Teng. 徐克 asked James Wong Jim to adapt the ancient tune "將軍令" into "男兒當自強", and asked George Lam to sing it. In April 2012 took part in the World Peace Prayer Meeting charity concert, and offered that song.

In November 1989 announced would not take part in the next gold-song awards ceremony, and in 1993 returned with "選擇". In 1994 received the Gold Needle Award at RTHK's Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Awards; in 2003 received the CASH Music Achievement Award; Wikipedia records George Lam as the first singer-songwriter to receive this award. Cantonese Wikipedia records that in 2010 was selected in the Chinese Music Awards thirty-year classics selection, rated the strongest voice of the Hong Kong music scene; in 2016 selected for the Hall of Fame of the 38th Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Awards.

In 1980 married 吳正元; the children are 林德信 and 林德懿. On July 17, 1996 married Sally Yeh; in 1998 the two held the "林子祥葉蒨文好氣連場98'" concert in Hong Kong.

Later works include the 2007 Cantonese album "佐治地球轉", the theme song written in 2013 for the TVB drama "衝上雲霄II", and the 2014 "LAMUSIC Original Classics". On August 30, 2018, on Universal's tribute record to Danny Chan, covered "有了你", and with Sally Yeh covered "疾風". In April 2022 took part in "聲生不息", and with Sally Yeh sang "敢愛敢做". When talking about the changes in Hong Kong pop, said the best few are already gone; also said gold-song melodies are not the same, and songs from the 1950s are still being sung.
