In 1958, Pilita began her recording career after arriving with a shipwrecked troupe of performers in Melbourne. She left her mark by becoming the first woman to make the Australian pop charts with a local recording called 'Come Closer to Me'. She became a star of the Melbourne TV circuit and her first hit, Come Closer to Me, became part of a collection on which she's billed as one of the Grand Dames of Melbourne Radio and Television.
Pilita holds the distinction of being the first female artist to top the Australian pop music charts long before Helen Reddy , Olivia Newton-John and Kylie Minogue . Pilita also recorded at least 3 LPs in the late 1950s-early 1960s: Pilita with Arthur Young :Pilita tells The Story of Love , I'll Take Romance and This is Pilita under Astor Records. Her signature song A Million Thanks to You was translated in seven languages. She eventually recorded songs composed by Filipino composers like Danny Holmsen , George Canseco, Willy Cruz, Ryan Cayabyab and several others.
Through the personal invitation of Sammy Davis Jr., Pilita became the first Filipino to sing in Caesars Palace . In her concert in Caesars Palace , Las Vegas during the late 70s, Pilita sang Spanish, English, Cebuano and Tagalog songs, all conducted and arranged by Ryan Cayabyab.
These days she is a highly-acclaimed host and comedy actress on Philippine television. With over 135 albums to her credit and an international profile with many appearances in Asia, the Middle East, Australia and North America, she still enjoys a reputation as “singing icon and living legend.”
