Achoo Cha Cha

I have previously sung the praises of China's lovely film star Grace Chang on these pages, but was unable to locate any MP3s of her music. A last.fm connection came to my rescue and led me to these downloads, which he generously allowed me to share. The highlights are the goofy "Achoo Cha Cha", and a cover of Louis Jordan's "I Want You To Be My Baby".

The video above is another cha cha featuring Grace, from the 1961 movie "Mambo Girl".

EDIT: I stand corrected, Mambo Girl WAS released in 1957 as stated in the comments. I apologize for the rookie mistake of taking for gospel truth something on YouTube without first verifying.

Jaja Jambo

The delightful and fabulously gorgeous Grace Chang performs "Ja Ja Jambo".....the words are provided for your karaoke pleasure, sing along if you are so inclined. (Or is this version better? I can't decide.)

Her I Love Cha Cha is a charmer, too.

Thanks to the very essential Edward Chewtoy for recommending these to me.....have I mentioned lately how much I adore the Dutch and their exquisite taste in music and kitsch? DO check out the dazzling array of music downloads on his site....though it was so much better at one time, before it was dismantled by tone-deaf and humorless ruffians.
