  1. Actually his song still living until now, most of the old people in Cambodia like to listen his song. even some people live in other country that was born in Cambodia. His song almost are love song. It doesn't like modern song now a day, it come out with the new song every months, but all song are also easy to decrease the listener day by day. However, The modern song and Mr.Sinn Sisamouth song are different. Mr. Sinn Sisamouth song is more attractive and more meaning than modern song. That why old people like to listen his song.
