AN unreleased song by legendary singer Teresa Teng would be launched next month to mark the 30th anniversary of her death, Nanyang Siang Pau reported.
The announcement was made by Teng's brother, Frank Teng Chang-fu, at a special commemorative concert in Taiwan.
He said the family had gone to great lengths to secure the rights to the Japanese track, literally translated as 'Romance Song Loves the Foggy Night', as the original songwriters had died.
Frank also shared that his sister cherished every song she performed, with her favourite being the Japanese hit Toki no Nagare ni Mi o Makase (Give Yourself to the Flow of Time), released in 1986, which helped her gain popularity in Japan.
The Chinese version of the song, Wo Zhi Zai Hu Ni (I Only Care About You), was released the following year.
Throughout her career, Teng recorded more than 1,700 songs in various languages.
She died on May 8, 1995 in Thailand. She was 42.
