has two tidbits for you:
*Pan Ron* was a Cambodian singer and songwriter who was at the height of popularity in the 1960s and early 1970s.
She had some success in the early 60s, but her career really took off when she began recording with Sinn
Sisamouth in 1966. After that, she had many hits, sometimes singing alone, but often paired with Sisamouth, Ros Serey Sothear, or some of the other stars of the era. She was one of two most famous
Cambodian female singers of the time; the other was Ros Serey
Sothea.
While Pan Ron was the second lady of Khmer music during the 60s and 70s, little is known about her life. What we know of her comes from hundreds of songs, many of which she both wrote and performed. Tragically, her career and life was cut short; she is not known to have survived the Khmer Rouge
years.
