Like many of her contemporaries in Cambodian popular music , Vannary 's career ended abruptly when the Khmer Rouge gained control of the country in April 1975 and forced city dwellers to become farm workers to fulfill their visions of agrarian socialism and the eradication of all foreign influences ( including music ) from Cambodian society . Vannary disappeared during the ensuing Cambodian genocide and her exact fate is unknown . Few of her recordings have survived due to the chaos of the Khmer Rouge regime . Her rendition of " You ’ve Got a Friend " appeared on the soundtrack to '' Do n't Think I 've Forgotten '' in 2015 , and a few more of her songs have appeared on compilations like the 2011 CD '' Cambodia Rock Spectacular ! '' from Lion Productions
