Actress Michelle Yeoh is paying homage to the late Disney musician CoCo Lee, fondly remembering her as an exceptional talent with a mesmerizing voice. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Yeoh shared a carousel of photos capturing the beautiful moments she shared with Lee throughout the years. The post highlighted Lee’s groundbreaking achievement as the first Chinese performer at the Oscars, where her song “A Love Before Time” from the film “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” was nominated for Best Original Song. Yeoh expressed immense pride for Lee’s accomplishments and conveyed her deep sadness over the loss of this radiant star. She concluded the post with sincere condolences to Lee’s family and all those who cherish her.
CoCo Lee, a Hong Kong-born singer-songwriter, rose to fame in 1998 with her rendition of the Mandarin version of “Reflection” in Disney’s timeless movie, “Mulan.” Yeoh recalled Lee as not just a bright star but the voice of Mulan in the Chinese version of the film. Tragically, Lee’s sister confirmed her passing after a suicide attempt, revealing her battle with depression that worsened over the last few months. Despite seeking professional help and fighting valiantly, Lee succumbed to her inner demons.
Lee left an indelible mark on the industry, being the first person of Chinese descent to perform at the Academy Awards in 2001, mesmerizing the audience with the song “A Love Before Time.” Her talents also extended into the music industry, with 18 studio albums to her name, including the sensational “Just No Other Way” released in 1999. Additionally, Lee made history as Chanel’s first brand ambassador of Chinese descent for the Asia region.
In an interview with CCTV, Lee expressed her unwavering passion for music, proclaiming her desire to continue singing until the day people no longer wanted to listen to her. Her charisma and diverse musical interests made her an exceptional artist.
Lee’s remarkable journey also led her to become a revered judge on various competition shows and reality TV programs. She tied the knot with Canadian businessman Bruce Rockowitz in 2011, leaving behind a loving family that includes two stepdaughters, her sisters, and her mother.
The world mourns the loss of this extraordinary talent, and Michelle Yeoh’s poignant tribute serves as a reminder of Lee’s everlasting impact. Her beautiful voice will forever be missed. Rest in peace, dear CoCo Lee.
