Goro Noguchi

Artist: Goro Noguchi
LP: Goro In Los Angeles, U.S.A.
Song: "A Crazy Fruit"
[ listen ]

There's not much info about Goro on the internet—not in English anyway. But this terrific 1976 LP seems to imply that the handsome Japanese singer paid Los Angeles, U.S.A. a visit at some point in the mid-1970s. According to the large booklet of travel photos included with the record, Goro didn't actually get to see much of the city—and he spent a good deal of his California vacation without his shirt on. I don't understand Japanese, but from the title of this particular song, I think Goro might be singing about that guy I went on a blind date with last week. You can find a list of TV shows and movies that feature Goro Noguchi on IMDB here, and watch one of his televised performances from the 1970s by clicking on the video link below.
