Samantha Lam

Samantha Lam Chi-mei (, 9 April 1963) is a Hong Kong singer and songwriter. In 1982, the television station RTHK awarded one of her songs, "Feelings of a Passage" , later heard from her 1983 self-titled debut album, as one of top ten gold songs of 1981–82.

In 1983, Lam sang a radio hit Cantonese rendition of the well-known Mandarin song "Into Your Eyes" , originally sung in 1981 by Tsai Chin, for her eponymous debut album. Her eponymous album received a Local Platinum Disc award from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) in 1984 for selling over 30,000 copies.

In 1984–85, another of her songs, "ngau yu" , a theme song for the 1984 film , was awarded as one of top ten gold songs of 1983–84 by RTHK, the seventh place of the Jade Solid Gold Best Ten Music Awards by another station TVB, and the Hong Kong Film Award for the Best Movie Song of 1984. Lam sang also "ouyu" , a Mandarin version of "ngau yu", for the titled 1984 album. Since then, later singers have rendered both versions of "ngau yu" (sometimes with slightly different lyrics), like Sammi Cheng and Zhou Xun.

Lam's albums released in 1984 were awarded certifications by the IFPI in 1985. What Is Fate? received a Local Platinum Disc award, and ngau yu received a Local Gold Disc Award for selling at least 15,000 copies.

In 1988, the IFPI awarded Lam's 1985 album Love Illusion a Local Gold Disc award and 1986 album Piano in a Rainy Night a Local Platinum Disc award.
