"I'M JOE, no need to be another Joe"

03 I AM JOE.wma

click on the above image to listen to the song "i am joe" that i've been listening 2 a lot these days.
it's from joe cheng chung kei's old CD from 2002, called
I'm Joe.

i only bought this CD and knew joe was a singer after hearing him sing some songs in the tvb series Slim Chances,
in which i was hoping
he and annie could be a couple,
but of course he lost out to the handsome
kevin cheng
(whose funny/arrogant character i really liked...he should play more FUNNY roles like in here!).

joe is a really good singer! [also a GREAT actor!! dramatic (Burning Flame) or funny guy (A Trust of a Lifetime, Slim Chances), he can play all kinds of roles very well. :) ]
and i loved how in this cd, he wrote his own song lyrics and i'm not sure,
but maybe he knows how 2 play the piano too. (in Slim Chances he did)

and i really liked how this cd had a lot of different styles of music...rock, rap, etc. it really is a very moody, interesting CD!!

probably hard to buy this cd now, so i have uploaded 2 of my fav tracks from the CD which are great and meaningful as well as very catchy and good 2 listen to!!! hope u will like them and appreciate some good music from the
talented MR. JOE CHENG!!

i absolutely agree with a reviewer at yesasia that said:
"This CD is surprisingly good and it is like fresh air."

i wish joe had been able to continue releasing CDs, but the last time i saw him was in a 2003 tvb series The King of Yesterday & Tomorrow, and after that, i think i read somewhere that he moved back to Canada with his children (a boy and a girl?) and is working as a DJ at a radio station....

i've looked to see if he has a fansite, website or tvb email, but can't find any.

in his cd lyrics/credits page, he writes:
"It is my little wish that this little project will bring love, hope, peace, and faith to whoever that needs them. And it is through God that everything made possible."

i haven't listened to this cd in a long time, until a few days ago, i was looking for something to listen to and found it and remembered how great the songs were. and the 120km and i am joe songs are especially
touching and meaningful 2 me
cuz i had asked longfumoon 2 translate it for me a long time ago,
and i recently found the translated lyrics again and i really
love the
messages
of these songs.

i have no way to contact him, but i'd like to
truly
THANK YOU
