Coco Lee

CoCo Lee

COUNTRY: China
GENRE: R&B, Pop
LAST ALBUM/EP: Ultimate Coco (2012)
INFO: Techincally, Coco Lee is possibly the best known performer of Chinese descent in the United States since she is the only one to perform on stage at the Oscars (she sung A Love Before Time, the theme to Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon).  She also replaced Christina Aguilera on the Chinese version of Ricky Martin’s Nobody Wants To Be Lonely.  While her voice is thought by many be better suited for English tracks, she has had a long a illustrious career in China and, at one point, was the highest selling female artist on the planet.

For her tracks we have chosen for Coco are both English language, primarily because her best Chinese tracks are not avaialable on American YouTube.  The first is Do You Want My Love from her 1999 American album, Ain’t No Other Way.  The second is duet with Korean singer/songwriter/producer J.Y. Park called A Dream Of One.
