霧子の タンゴ


珍しく吉田正が作詞をしています(実際には他にもいくつかありますが)。「霧子」という名は単に語呂合わせなのか実在するモデルがいたのかは知りません、がナカナカにジーンと来る熱烈な愛の歌なのですね。それを低音のフランクに歌わせたところが計算なのかも知れませんが。
The Japanese text above seems to have been written by someone who wasn't a native speaker, so here's a rough translation:

The composer of the music is Yoshida Tadashi. We don't know whether the name of Kiriko actually existed in Japan or if he just created it. This was a love song. The great part of this song is that it used a relatively low sound (performed in a low key?).

Credits are listed as follows:

Composer- Tadashi Yoshida
Popular Song- Kiriko's Tango
Singer- Frank Nagai
Victor Orchestra

Composer- Tadashi Yoshida
Popular Song- Mercy Street
Singer- Akira Hirao
Victor Orchestra

Finally, without further ado, here's the record.
