Biography
Liev Tuk (sometimes spelled Liv Tek) was a Cambodian rock and soul musician active before the Khmer Rouge. Tuk's music incorporates elements from a variety of American popular genres, such as rhythm and blues, soul, and rock. Critics and historians have drawn comparisons with Wilson Pickett and James Brown, both important figures in American soul music.
He was an animated "rock star" performer, combining his loud, fast music with colourful movements and dancing. LinDa Saphan described him as having "sultry looks, swinging arms and dynamic vocal style that drove teenage listeners wild."
