[78-L] Tokyo Boogie Woogie

[George Anglin]

These WWII japanese records still turn up at yard sales. Friend of mine gave me a picture of Oyan Fei ying many years ago and said that she was the vocalist on China Night. She was quite lovely. George

Well I've always loved this song.  I grew up with it, as it was
one of the records my dad brought back from Army service in
Japan (Shina no Yoru was another).  There was a hotter version
released on 49th State Records some time in the 50s.  The final
chorus has three (female) voices followed by a kind of erotic
growl at the end.
