During the 1970s, Singapore’s Malay community faced rapid urbanisation and changing social values. Black Dog Bone’s music — with its themes of love, humour, and everyday life — reflected the aspirations of Malay youth seeking modernity without abandoning cultural roots. The 1970s and early 1980s were the heyday of Singapore’s live music circuit — with clubs, cabarets, and hotels offering nightly performances. Bands like Black Dog Bone honed their skills in these vibrant venues before breaking into recording. Their blend of pop, funk, soul, and rock appealed to both urban youth and working-class audiences across the region. The success of Black Dog Bone validated local artistry, encouraging other Singaporean musicians to perform original material instead of covers. Jatt Ali one of the founding members of Black Dog Bone shares the music journey of one of Singapore’s legendary bands in KitorangSG. Semasa tahun 1970-an, masyarakat Malay di Singapore menghadapi pemodenan yang pesat dan perubahan nilai sosial.
