Elvis Phuong releases USB album, celebrating 64 years of singing

(NLDO) - Without a splendid stage or bright lights, Elvis Phuong's singing is still enough to make passersby stop, listen and be moved.

On the afternoon of April 19, at Ho Chi Minh City Book Street, famous singer Elvis Phuong had an emotional meeting with the audience to celebrate his 64th year of singing and his 80th birthday.

At the age of 80, Elvis Phuong's voice is still clear, full of power and emotion.

At the age of 80, his voice is still clear, full of power and emotion. "The strength of an 80-year-old person is not the same as that of a 20-year-old person, but being able to sing gives confidence and pride" - Elvis Phuong expressed.

The famous singer introduced the USB album "If you love me", a collection of 22 songs marking his artistic journey, from immortal love songs such as "Ao anh sut chi duong tap" (Pham Duy), "Nua dem ngoai pho" (Truc Phuong), "Anh con lo em" (Anh Bang), "Muoi nam tinh cu" (Tran Quang Nam )... to 3 new compositions written by himself.

The album is a collection of recent recordings but still retains the same sound quality and vocal style as many years ago and is released in USB format - convenient, easy to listen to and easy to share in the digital age.

The USB album launch was also one of the opening events for the program "Books and Reading Culture of Vietnam 2025" at Ho Chi Minh City Book Street. The cozy meeting space at Book Street became a gratitude event, when Elvis Phuong performed live many familiar songs such as "Ao anh sut chi duong ta", "Anh con don em", "Tinh thu Paris", "Không", "Nhu co yeu toi"...

Despite the less than ideal sound equipment, Elvis Phuong still sang with the emotion and seriousness of a veteran artist. Each song was joyfully received by audiences of many generations: the nostalgic elderly, the curious young, those who had heard him sing on old, faded cassette tapes...

Elvis Phuong, whose real name is Pham Ngoc Phuong, began singing in 1960. He studied at a Western school and chose the stage name Elvis Phuong as a way to express his admiration for his idol Elvis Presley. He first performed the song "Midnight in the Street" in 1962.

Throughout his career, Elvis Phuong participated in many bands such as Rockin' Stars, Les Vampires and especially Phuong Hoang - a monument of Saigon's youth music in the 1960s and 1970s. Many audiences also brought old vinyl records, reel-to-reel tapes and CDs of Elvis Phuong to ask for his autograph and souvenirs.

Previously, Elvis Phuong released his autobiography "Life Stream", which tells the story of 60 years of his career, the ups and downs of his singing career, and the deep love story with his wife who has accompanied him, taken care of his health and costumes so that he can be steady on stage. That enduring love is also the origin of the song "Love in Autumn in Paris".

Autobiography "Life"

When asked about his favorite music genre, Elvis Phuong smiled: "This question has been asked for 60 years, and I still keep the same answer: I love all genres of music." Although the new album is full of Vietnamese songs, Elvis Phuong has left his mark in many genres such as French music, Rock music, pre-war music, Trinh music...
