A Hong Kong film icon who's also released Cantopop albums since the 1980s.
For a quick sense of his range, try 'I'll Make a Man Out of You' alongside something like 'China Blue.' They frame the two sides of his music pretty neatly.
Most people know him for movies like 'Snake in the Eagle's Shadow,' but he's been putting out songs in Hong Kong for decades. His 1998 Disney track 'I'll Make a Man Out of You' from 'Mulan' gave his singing a wider international reach. Tunes like 'Pei Ni Ku Pei Ni Xiao' and 'Out of Control' with Mavis Fan show he's kept at it, with the music always tied to his film work.
He started releasing Cantopop with his debut album 'Sing Lung' in 1984. The Disney song in 1998 brought his voice to more listeners, and he kept recording into the 2000s with albums like 'Jackie Chan Sings.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
