Pan Ron

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 Serysothea, 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 Sereysothea. 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 her music, a delightful mix of the playful and the soulful. During her life she created a great treasure - 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.

Song titles were in Khmer, but have been translated to English pronunciations. Translations of song title pronunciations to English may not be accurate, may have been modified to be understandable in English and under other circumstances should not be considered error-free. An asterisk (*) next to a song title means the song is known to be a soundtrack to a Khmer film at the time.
