Singer-songwriter Odette Quesada has penned some of the most heart-wrenching original Pilipino music (OPM) hits, including 'A Friend of Mine,' 'Farewell,' 'A Long, Long Time Ago,' 'Till I Met You,' 'Don't Know What To Say,' 'Love Me Again' (Verni Varga), 'Give Me A Chance,' and 'To Love Again.' However, many music fans were unaware of Quesada's humorous side.
On Sept. 1, Quesada will hold an "Odette Quesada: All Hits - The 40th Anniversary Celebration" concert at the Newport Performing Arts Theater at 8 p.m. "These songs are my legacy; hopefully, they will be around for another 40 years. As a singer, this is my 41st year, but as a singer, this is my 40th.

Then, I was told by the committee people that it came out number one in the finals during the screening. So kahit sinong interpreter mo, magta-top 3 yung 'Till I Met You.' This is from the Vicor people. Worst-case scenario, we'll come in third place.
"I'm very poor at keeping things. I think it's in my cousin's house. I didn't bring any of our awards to the US. My cousin ended up buying our house in Laguna. Pati yung mga Awit awards namin ni Bodjie," she said.Despite a successful career in the OPM scene, Quesada said that she and Bodjie left for the US. She has been staying abroad for more than 23 years now.
Odette also wrote memorable songs for the late Ric Segreto, who popularized"Give Me A Chance" and"Don't Know What To Do."
