Naomi And The Boys - Bad Loser

Mid to late sixties Pop from Singapore and Malaysia

Naomi Suriya endears her fans as the girl who always has to say goodbye to her baby. Her brother, Robert, composed several memorable hits for her with this undertone of tears all through.

The first lineup of The Boys consisted of Robert Suriya (lead), Peter Richards (organ), Moses Tay (rhythm), Henry Richards (bass), Jose Ahmad (drums). Naomi & The Boys released their first record with Philips in early 1965. An original composition, Its all over quickly became No. 1 on the Singapore and Malaysia charts. The Boys then went through some changes. A new lineup emerged with Robert Suriya (lead), Peter Thomas (rhythm), Moses Tay (bass) and Alphonso Soosay (drums) which lasted until the end. With Naomi, their next record also produced another No. 1 hit with a cover version of Happy happy birthday, baby! Another original composition on the EP, I know, was also a smash hit. Roberts song-writing machine continued to produce many more hits for Naomi & The Boys. They distinguished themselves as a local band with the confidence in themselves to sing and play their own original compositions. Naomi & The Boys were also credited with the first local Christmas EP.


Henry Suriya , an older sibling, had his own separate singing career. Henry was also backed by The Boys and recorded with Philips in 1967. His first hit, Love is a golden ring, was a classic. Some of his other hits were Its no sin (to love you), Im so lonely (I could cry), Loving you and Donna.
