박재란 - Park Jae-Ran
This is one of the only releases I found that show how also the late 50s / early 60s sounded like at it’s best. The accompanying orchestra on the first 2/3rds of the album is eastern-based Hollywood-abroad ballroom entertainment that is just to a small degree comparable to the Shanghai / Hong Kong scene. You can also hear some Korean folk influence, chachacha’s, twists, waltzes and much more and a good charming voice. Some of these early recordings have electric guitar rhythm
