Singapore/Malaysia "Track 16 0f 17"Composer/Lyric - A Husaini AjmainBand Members: Rahman Sarbani (Drums) Ramli Sarip (Vocal) Wan Ahmad (Guitar) AJ/Ahmad Jaafar Jawahir (Keyboard & Vocal) Masron Abdul Hamid/Yong (Keyboard) Rosli Mohalim (Guitar) Sweet Charity Profiles MASRON ABDUL HAMID (YONG) Keyboards Masron or better known as Yong joined the band in 1980 after the band released their second album Pelarian. He then joined the band again in 1981 after the band released their third album 'Sejuta Wajah'. Yong was introduced to Sweet Charity by bassist Syed Hassan to replaced AJ who left for Brunei for a well-paid job with Shell Petroleum. Yong joined the band for the love of music. When he was offered to play the keyboards, he was already playing for a three-piece band at Hando Club in Singapore. After the band disbanded, he still played at reunion and gigs once in a while. Yong still hopes that they will continue performing as long as the fans still want them. During his days with the band, they always practiced together even when there were no gigs. Although the band was popular on those time, Yong still kept his day job with a bank, juggled between his jobs, band practice, and performing in concerts in East and West Malaysia. Finally he left the band in 1983 when AJ came back from his Brunei stint to take over the position to work on the album 'Batu'. Yong is a big fan of Peter Cetera but he got a lot of influence from bands like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. ROSLI MOHALIM GuitarBorn on 30th September 1954, Rosli Mohalim joined Sweet Charity in 1977 as a Bassist before becoming the band's lead guitarist a year later. Rosli is the most talented guitarist in the region. He created a distinct sound for Sweet Charity with his guitar and one can surely recognise his guitar playing in Othman Hamzah's most popular song entitled Gadis Melayu, popularised today by Mawi. Rosli graduated in 1975 from a famous art school in Singapore, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. The art school produced other talented artistes such as the late Mohd Din Mohd, M Nasir and S Amin Shahab. He had no formal training in music or guitar playing but he did have his personal coach/mentors, Mohd Fadglon and Wan Ahmad. After Ramli left Sweet Charity in 1985, Rosli took centre stage to keep the band afloat with popularity. However, without his charismatic frontman, Rosli lost his winning combination with Ramli to draw the crowd. Finally, his effort slowed down and he concentrated on being a producer for Warner Music for two years. Reluctantly accepting the fact that Sweet Charity needed to be disbanded, Rosli continued with a new band, Reeha, and played until 2007.Rosli got together with the band in Sejuta Wajah Reunion Concert in 1995 in Singapore and 1996 in Stadium Merdeka Kuala Lumpur. Since then, the band performed often in concerts and showcase such as Tribute to Sweet Charity in Singapore (1999) and Malaysian Motor GP at Sepang International Circuit in year 2000. To honour his talents, Ramli invited Rosli for his 35 years in the music industry in Zaman The Concert at Istana Budaya 1995. Joining them were legendary guitarist Ian Antono from Indonesia and Man Kidal of Lefthanded from Malaysia who jammed with them in the rock Trilogy segment - Hilang Gelap Terbitlah Terang, Ribut 10.59 Pagi and Raja Kumbang.Texts were extracted/edited from i`net.
