Biography

Teresa Teng (Sometimes spelled Teresa Tang or Teresa Deng ; Traditional Chinese: 鄧麗君 ; Simplified Chinese: 邓丽君 ; Hanyu Pinyin: Dèng Lìjūn ; Wade-Giles: Teng Li-chün) (January 29, 1953 - May 8, 1995) was one of the most famous singers in Asia, from Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China.
She used to perform on the Japanese market under the name of テレサ・テン (Japanese transcription Teresa Ten)

She was born in Yunlin County, Taiwan to a Chinese mainlander family. Her father side was from Hebei province, China; her mother side was from Shandong province, China.

She recorded several famous songs, including When Shall You Return? (Simplified Chinese: 何日君再来; pinyin: Hé Rì Jūn Zài Lái) (one of the revamped songs she sang). In addition to her Mandarin repertoire, she also recorded songs in the Taiwanese language (a variant of Min Nan), Cantonese, Japanese, Indonesian (in 1977) and English.

In 1983, for the first time in Chinese music history, she released her most-acclaimed album Light Exquisite Feeling (淡淡幽情) containing 12 poems from Tang and Song dynasties with various composers turning them into songs, such as Wishing We Last Forever/Shuǐ diào gē tóu (水调歌头) and How Many Worries/Yu Mei Ren (几多愁/虞美人).

She performed in Paris during the 1989 Tiananmen student uprising, singing for the students and proclaiming her support for them and for democracy.

    Hard to believe she'd be going on 60 today.

    @runclepennybags it's much more than 3 artist pages :-(

    @MiiStar: Again, that's probably because she's split across three pages.

    Her music is amazing <3 Too bad there are so few scrobbles for her in comparison to other stars, she's actually very well known in East Asia.

    Well, uh, I mean, she christened herself "Teresa" so I don't really think it's wrong; just that the pages should be merged. For instance, "Teresa Teng" is autocorrected to this page, but none of the other spellings are.

    cause too many people wants to write her name in their own language, but she's from TW and her name is in 繁體字, not simplfied or katakana.. regardless she deserves more plays! Classic and timeless

    Why are this, 邓丽君, and テレサ・テン all separate pages? That doesn't make sense. It's only one person.

    Don't worry. She's definitely No.1 singer in east Asia. Almost every Chinese and Japanese knows her, meanwhile not everyone in China and Japan knows last.fm -- I'm from China, I knew and registered last.fm today. I seldom listen to music online, I prefer CD.

    Not only singer,her Japanese language artist name テレサ・テン is glorious on Japanese music history forever. She was multi-talent various language vocalist.

    I miss Teresa in my life. Love your voice.

    I would disagree with WhereforeArt's comment underneath in terms of merging. First of all, テレサ・テン is not a stage name, it's her Japanese equaivalent of Teresa ・Den. Secondly, if last.fm keeps multiple entries because she had a different market and sang songs in different language, then, folks like Celine Dion, Ricky Martin, Ute Lamper, etc., and you-name-it should have multiple entries as well.
