Biography

Samuel Hui Koon-kit (born 18 October 1949) is a Hong Kong musician, singer, songwriter and actor. He is credited with popularising Cantopop both via the infusion of Western-style music and his usage of vernacular Cantonese rather than written vernacular Chinese in biting lyrics that addressed contemporary problems and concerns. Hui is considered by some to be the first major superstar of Cantopop, known as the God of Song and alternatively as the Canto-pop godfather and the Elvis Presley of Hong Kong. As an actor, he is well-known for portraying the main character "King Kong" in five instalments of the Aces Go Places film series.
