Notes and References
- Stan Jeffries Encyclopedia of world pop music, 1980-2001 2003 p224 "Her first album for the new company, Shirley Wong, released in November 1989, featured synthesized pop dealing with love and loss. Within a year she released two other albums, Everything (June 1990) and You're the Only One (December 1990), focusing on similar material. Thereafter Wong, disappointed at the lack of interest her music was creating, moved to New York to stay with relatives and enrolled in singing and dancing classes. "
