“Everyone encouraged Uncle Che Linh to sue me for copyright infringement, but I still believe one thing, a person with a personality like you, a famous musician like you, would never do that. Sense Friday told me, I would never do that.
When I heard people saying that I violated copyright by making up the lyrics of the song “Sad Part of a Rainy Night”, I was quite confused because I didn’t understand much about music copyright.

Actually, I don’t care much about making up the lyrics of my songs to sing for fun… My songs were made up a lot before 1975 on the streets of Saigon. As in the case of Ms. Nguyen Phuong Hang parodying the lyrics “T30 and I” and “Mau An Phuoc”, that is the emotion and mood that matches the melody of that song. Therefore, I hope YouTubers should not embellish or fabricate stories, leading to unnecessary noise and pushing the story too far.”

“At that time, I was already famous and Vinh Su was not yet in the ranks of famous singers and musicians in Saigon at that time. When I saw a young man holding a stack of Ronios printed pieces of paper that he wrote himself. composed and printed and then invited customers to buy, I felt sorry for him so I invited Vinh Su into Kim Son shop for a drink and found out that Vinh Su could not bring his songs into establishments such as Dien Hong and Minh Phat, Southern Tinh Hoa or Tu Quynh… In the past, it was very difficult to be sold in these establishments. Products sold here had to be beautiful from presentation to song content It was also necessary to have people with design expertise, which Vinh Su at that time was very difficult to meet.
I gave Vinh Su my idea, you take this song (ie “Sad part of a rainy night”) and ask for permission to print and sell it, I will introduce it to sales centers. I recorded this song for a Vietnamese record label, sang it on the radio and several times on stage, so music lovers already know it…
If I sold it to music trading centers, this song would have cost no less than 50,000 VND in 1968 or 69. But I helped her not get any money but also spent money on a meal at Kim restaurant. Paint. From that song, which was sold in shops, Vinh Su’s name was also known from there… However, I agreed to sing for Vinh Su a number of songs such as: Grass Ring for You, Afternoon Lam Bus… Some time later, Vinh Su has risen, but I have not yet had a glass of water from musician Vinh Su,” singer Che Linh added.

According to the male singer, in the past, he gave musician Vinh Su the right to print this song for sale without the need for paperwork, just a promise to help a friend was enough, meaning it was only for musician Vinh. History has the right to exploit and benefit, which does not mean the right to sell or give away to others.
“For example, I have an extra house so I help Vinh Su move in, without having to pay rent. If Vinh Su no longer lives, he will return the house to me. But the buyer of this house, BH Media, does not control it.” Back to the documents related to the sale or transfer. In the case of my song “Sad Night on a Rainy Night”, I only gave the person, musician Vinh Su, the right to exploit it and all agreed verbally. , there is no transfer or deposit document…”, famous singer Che Linh affirmed.
