Pilita

Artist: Pilita
LP: Pilita In Tokyo
Song: "Blue Night In Tokyo"
[ listen ]
Song: "Akasaka After Dark"
[ listen ]

Two interesting bits of trivia about Filipino singer Pilita (aka. Pilita Corrales): there's a street named after her somewhere outside Melbourne, Australia and she was the first singer from the Philippines to perform at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas! You can find more fascinating info about the singer known as "Asia's Queen of Songs" on Wikipedia [here]. Some songs on this 1972 LP are in English, others in Japanese; I've included a sample of each.
