[78-L] Shirley Temple on Japanese Polydor

[Ray Kilcoyne]

Here is one of the comments under the video.

"Hallo hier singt Carmen Lahrmann ! Und nicht Shirley Temple. Sie hat
1936 - 4 Aufnahmen für den Japanischen Markt (Phonetisch) eingesungen. Das
Orchester konnte ich leider noch nicht ermitteln."

According to Wikipedia Carmen sang the German language synchronizations for
Shirley Temple films.  You can listen to a couple of her Shirley Temple
songs on youtube and compare the voices for yourself.

Some time ago there was a thread here discussing Shirley Temple's lack of 
commercial recordings. Actually, she made at least one--a pair of Japanese 
nursery rhymes recorded in Tokyo on 11 March 1937, issued on Polydor 2409 
(don't know what was on the other side).

How many Western artists recorded in Japan at the time? There were also a 
couple of sides by Weintraubs Syncopators on Japanese Columbia in 1936.
