80s Music/OPM song "Boy"

Question
Hi Bong. There was another OPM song way back either late 70's or early 80's that had the word "Boy" on it. I know it's not the version sung by Timmy Cruz but I do remember quite well that it was sung by the group, The Nailclippers. Can you help me on this one? Thanks..

Answer
Dear Russell,

You were actually looking for the original Japanese version of BOY (I Love You) by THE NAILCLIPPERS (I'm not sure of its Japanese title) which was made a hit here in the Philippines by CHERIE GIL. The Tagalog version made a star out of CHERIE GIL and it was recently revived in the 90's by DONNA CRUZ.

Maraming salamat po!!

Expertise

I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.

Experience

Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
