The incomparable Huong Lan singing a Vietnamese standard.She has been in the public eye since she was five,back in 1961.You can see her singing this song live on You Tube.This is a studio recording of Chuyen made some years earlier with a backdrop of pictures of her and Vietnam.Born as Tran Ngoc Anh, she migrated with her family to France.Huong became the first overseas Vietnamese singer to perform in her home country in 1996.Since then,she has often travelled between Vietnam and the US for performances. "What I find most satisfying about my singing career is being able to sing to audiences in my home country," she said. "I have performed on state-of-the-art stages in many countries to wealthy audiences, but no one has brought tears to my eyes like a poor elderly woman I met after a show in Can Tho City in 1997. She had to sell some bushels of rice to have enough money to buy a ticket to see my show and she had to walk a long way to see me perform." Rather a legend is Huong Lan.Her motto 'honour your audience'
