A multi-faceted songsmith, Richard Lam excelled in Cantopop's late 20th-century heyday. Penning over 1,000 tracks, he defined an era with his lighthearted lyricism, sexy beats and sensual ballads. It saw him craft some of the best-selling songs of his time, collaborate with legends of the genre—including Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok—and win accolades, including RTHK Best Lyricist.
