Hong Kong Jambalaya

How wonderful when you find an aging link and the music is still there--case in point, this version of Hank Williams' Jambalaya by Chang Loo (aka Lu Zhang) is waiting patiently for you to follow the link and click play. Check out her album 百代時代傳奇Vol.3:張露-再給我一個吻 if you're on spotify, it made for some very tasty Sunday listening for me (there's a version of Hula Hoop!).

"Famous Chinese Oriental Dancers" and Such

The gift of some great new recordings by Hong Kong singer Chang Loo (who died in January of this year) led me to the wonderful site Soft Film: Vintage Chinese Cinema. I particularly enjoyed the musings on the film career of actress So Ching (seen above), an awesome recording of Jambalaya by the aforementioned Chang Loo, a just-barely-NSFW clip of burlesque dancer Noel Toy, seen below--and much, much more.



WHOA! Sorry for the gigantitude of the video!
