Summary:

This short documentary pays tribute to Singapore's pioneering country singer Matthew Tan who became the first Asian ever to perform at the legendary Grand Ole Opry with a duet with Skeeter Davis. On his return to Singapore from Nashville in the late 1970s he recorded 'Singapore Cowboy' which became the no.1 hit single and is still a top requested song for country music lovers. The documentary features rare archive footage with the interview conducted by celebrity actor Adrian Pang.
