Also this is a more mainstream orientated singer, with a performance-related emotionality in the voice. This is especially so in the first track, where her voice is almost broken in a smoked way. This song itself still is mainstream pop with keyboard chords, some brass arrangement and a sax solo. This emotionality is also most clear in the last track, which iswith a piano accompaniment only. Many tracks have funkier elements although not in a too creative or inventive way, oc

Specific tracks you can find on: 가요(歌謠) 박물관 [Disc 8] * 11 당신은 몰라 / You do not know (1971) This track is a somewhat crooner-like ballad accompanied by (psych)rock band. Here Lim Jung Hoon's voice is coming from a combination of the Elvis Presley area and more late 60s pop inspirations (with 60s vocal harmonies) while the band clearly is more rooted in late 60s psychedelia.

Track 13-19 of this compilation are dedicated to Lee Hae-Jeon. The songs seem to be inspired to be performed on stage or most likely in a movie theatre. They have a small trot and here and there Japanese influence but show creative power for having an individual voice in songs. The first track is pre-trot and is accompanied by mandolin and accordion and the usual rather subtly played humpapa rhythm. The singing here is with a slightly grotesque or better say individualised vo

This is a warm bluesy song with a calm and simple blues tune guitar picking lead. There’s also a country whistle tune part in it. Tracks with * I consider essential tracks to check out.

Tracks can be found here: 가요(歌謠) 박물관 220 Best Of (CD-box) CD4-2 행복의 샘터 / Fountain of Happiness (1964) with 박재란 / Park Jae-Ran We only have one track to get to know this singer who's voice is clearly fully adapted to trot-like singing. Here we have a duet with Park Jae-Ran who sings slow and in an idealising expression. It's the kind of TV-like colorized romantic music which makes it in fact pretty mainstream. #KoreanPop #Y #L

The first few tracks show the best of possibilities, in that Lee Nan-Young has the sort of qualities in her voice and singing that shows a certain emotion in her voice, with a distinctive sad sensitive quality. The first track is just acoustic picking, violin and voice only, which shows these qualities best. Most tracks are in Trot style with a minor old time jazz influence. The voice goes very high. A few track are in dialogue male/female voice, with some harmony singing too

The track is a bit warbled in sound, but shows a nice song. 6 The next waltz is with trumpet/brass arrangements too. Then we have the first Japanese-like melody, interpreted with a bizarre voice and sing

Psychefolk radioshow comments: "Nice professional acoustic guitar track (combination of blues with UK tradition) with singing. I need more time for total album. Also the second track has fine acoustic guitars. Other tracks are lighter pop." Folkie Jin : "Lee Seung Sun is more famous as an editor of Acoustic guitar guide book than Singer song writer by Korean people. We have to recognize his nice ability as a Singer/songwriter if you're a serious Korean folk fan. Welll he was
