A match made for the stage
Wed, November 12 2008
joey and david copy Joey Albert is a favourite concert performer of many Filipinos and David Pomeranz is an American singer, composer, lyricist, and writer for musical theatre.
On Nov. 16, the two will perform at Executive Plaza Hotel in Richmond. Joey is best known for her string of Original Pilipino Music hits such as “Points of View” (with Pops Fernandez), “Yakapin mo ako”, “Kumukutikutitap”, “ikaw Lang ang Mamahalin”, “I Remember The Boy”, “Iisa Pa Lamang”, “Sa iyo Lamang”, “Million Miles Away”, and most especially, her hauntingly beautiful rendition of the Louie Ocampo original, “Tell Me”, a certified Gold Record for which she was named the 1985 Cecil Awards’ Best Female Recording Artist.
David, born in New York City and raised on Long Island, started showing signs of things to come at a young age, by conducting his parent’s classical records and mimicking Frank Sinatra.
He has written a string of hit classics including “Trying to Get the Feeling Again”, “The Old Songs”, (both recorded by Barry Manilow), “King and Queen of Hearts”, “Got To Believe in Magic” (from the 1982 Scott Baio hit movie Zapped), “Born For You” and “It’s In Everyone Of Us” (featured in the Tom Hanks film Big and later at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea).
He endeared himself to the Filipinos when he performed and recorded the Joey Albert-Louie Ocampo original “Tell Me” and the Filipino Christmas classic “Pasko Na Sinta Ko.”
Tickets are $30.
