This album was released in 1956.
The note at the back of this album mentioned that "Godfrey first introduced Miyoshi to American audiences on his CBS-TV show "Talent Scout" at the beginning of 1956... Miyoshi astonished both the famous red-head (Godfrey) and his audience by singing a sultry version of "How Deep Is The Ocean" in perfect English, enhanced by the merest trace of an exotic accent" It was definitely a stunning debut for Miyoshi.
In this album, Miyoshi sang the songs in English/Japanese. Although I like many the songs in this album, I would like to single out "If I Give My Heart To You", "China Nights" and "Hanna Ko San" as 3 songs that I like most.
Song List:
Side 1 - If I Give My Heart To You, China Nights, I'm In The Mood For Love, My Baby's Coming Home, How Deep Is The Ocean, Slowly Go Out Of Your Mind
Side 2 - Teach Me Tonight, Hanna Ko San, Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man, S'Wonderful, Over The Rainbow, Sayonara
I have always loved her sweet, soft and natural voice. My favorites are How Deep Is The Ocean and Sayonara.
ReplyDeleteWonder where she is now?
Yes, she sang How Deep Is The Ocean, Sayonara and many other songs in this album very well.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I searched Wikipedia for her and found that she had passed away in 2007.
