Abstract

Biduan Negara Puan Sri Datin Amar Saloma, or her real name Salmah Ismail, was born on January 22, 1935, in Pasir Panjang, Singapore. She started singing professionally at 13. For a legendary singer of her stature, unfortunately, Saloma's contribution to the music industry in this country has not been properly documented, appreciated, and upheld. It is not known how many albums Saloma had released in the first 10 years of her career, as EMI Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the local distributor of artists signed to EMI Singapore Pte Ltd. As a result, most albums before 1970 were not listed.
