1. Na Ae-sim
I did my best to trace compilation of older artists. The problem with some compilations is that those singers continued to sing to high age, while with their popularity, they were absorbed deeper into the commercial mainstream tsunami of television show entertainment and its money making business, some area that does not reveal and bring about or develop much ideas of real musical interests. And before you know it such compilation seems to be a complete remake of songs, solely made to sell.
And the older generation ? They probably does not care. They just want to hear to songs, in a third grade remembrance.
The first two tracks are with a mainstream band and orchestra and voice of older singer. It is sung slower too and doesn’t sound so inspired as when it was performed at first.
Then the arrangements on the next two tracks turn to acoustic picking guitars and backing vocals, which is already better fit. But then, I feel there are moments (track 4) it sounds as if I am listening at times to a warped record.
Then the arrangements are again more TV-show-like, not really what I had in mind in buying a compilation of such an artist who used to have not only such great voice, but also great songs and arrangements, not much of such cooperation of elements is left or made the best from what it had.
Track 7 has additional funky bass into it, which still doesn’t take us further away from the new, commercial and somewhat cheaply found approach. It’s still ok musically, but never ever great. Despite the use of electric guitars and strings, or electric piano, sax and strings, this doesn’t really bring us far musically.
2.Song Min-Do
The same can be said about the Song Min Do compilation, which is nothing but a commercial remake album, of wanting us to remember 80s/90s TV shows, not really being the best occasion or association to appreciate the/such music/singers/songs in its best conditions. Here the arrangements are strings and brass and an electric band and guitars, with older vibrating voice, are merely pressed out already died-out nostalgia pop, mellow, molded and highly corrupted.
To avoid.
PS. Track 6, Idiot, is great song, but one should check the better original version.
Other tracks can be found here:
유성기로 듣던 가요사 두번째(1945~1960) [Disc 10]
CD10-1 과거(過去)를 묻지 마세요 / Don't Ask Your Past (1958)
CD10-2 사랑 만리(萬里) / Love for the Great Wall
CD10-3 미사의 종(鍾) / A Big Mass (??) (1958)
작사 세고석 / 작곡 전오승/ Written by Sego Seok / Composer Seung-seung.
CD10-4 애수(哀愁)의 바이올린 / Violin of Depression
* CD10-5 영원한 사랑/ Eternal Love (1956) -blues-
작사 강남풍 / 작곡 전오승 / Lyrics written by Gangnam Pung / Composer
* CD10-6 언제까지나 / Always
Tracks with * I consider essential listens or classics, or tracks to check out for sure because for some reason they seem to stand out as unique moments. This makes them tracks that makes them also very suitable for western radioshow airplay. Tracks that are only underlined can be considered fine tracks you might better check out as well, but I am not sure how essential they are.
“Don't Ask your past” is beautiful / classic ballad/song with piano only. The track suffers from some surface noise and a few skips at the start. Luckily for the Domido releases (see further) it was chosen afterwards for remastering, because it's a great song and performance.
"Love For the Great Wall" is a somewhat sad slow fox, just like the track after that as well.
"Violin of Depression" is a bit odd track; it is introduced by violin of course, with a melody of song and violin which almost improvises its way throughout the song (unfortunately the track has increasing surface noise towards the end). I am still not sure what to think of it. It surely has an almost classical feel, in a somewhat “modern” way.
"Eternal Love" is the most negro-blues-like track I heard so far, which makes it something exceptional.
"Always" has something of a warming up-tango, but then also turns into a tango mood. Also this song seems to allow the singer a certain freedom of direction.
유성기로 듣던 가요사 두번째(1945~1960) [Disc 11]
* CD11-17 백치(白痴) 아다다 / Known idiots or A Fool (only) knows (?) (1956)
A true favorite is this very passionate track. It is one of my favorite by Na Aem-Sim and one of the classics if you ask me. Also the singing in low range and subtle orchestration is simply brilliant.
가요(歌謠) 박물관 / Kayo Museum Best 220
* CD1-1 과거를 묻지 마세요 / Do not ask the past (1959)
* CD1-8 백치 아다다 / A Fool knows (1956)
Two of the tracks listed on the previous compilation here are remastered and can be heard with an improved sound. I think both versions work in their own way, but for the second track the old surface noise adds perhaps a touch of mystery to it too.
CD9-7 그리운 님 / Nostalgic (1959)
CD9-13 아카시아 꽃잎 필 때 / When Acacia Petals bloom (1962)
Nostalgia is a slowly sung somewhat sad let's say ballad.
The sparsely and carefully orchestrated “When the Acacia Petals Bloom" fits to this still to trot-related musical style too. It has a small guitar melody interuption as well (with some sparse piano). It can’t help evoking a certain feeling of sadness, despite its title.
Best Collection 100 vol.1 Domido
* CD2 12 언제 까지나 / Always (1955 or 1962?)
* CD3 2 과거를 묻지 마세요 / Don't ask the past
CD3 13 미사의 종 - 나애심 / Mass of Mass
“Always” is a kind of slow pop/tango. Another favorite is the song “Don’t Ask the Past” for its melody, arranged with strings and sparse bass/guitar. The somewhat filmic “Mass of Mass” is arranged for a somewhat bigger orchestra.
Best Collection 100 vol.2 Domido
13 삘딩의 탱고 [나애심] / Boiling Tango (1960)
Another very good one is this well arranged and fresh sounding "Boiling Tango."

【서울=뉴시스】 이재훈 기자 = 1950~60년대를 풍미한 인기 가수 겸 영화배우 나애심(87․전봉선)이 20일 별세한 사실이 뒤늦게 알려졌다. 1980년 말 'DDD'로 인기를 누린 가수 김혜림의 어머니다.
1930년 9월5일 평안남도 진남포에서 태어난 나애심은 진남포여고를 졸업했다. 아이들을 가르치던 스무 살 때 6·25 전쟁이 발발, 'HLKA 경음악단'에서 콘트라베이스를 연주하던 오빠 전오승을 찾아 단신 월남한다.
전오승은 나애심이 크게 히트시킨 '과거를 묻지 마세요' '미사의 종'의 작곡가다. 이듬해인 1·4 후퇴 당시 서울로 피란내려온 나머지 가족들과 가까스로 상봉, 피란길에 오른다.
대구 피란 시절, 작곡가 김동진을 단장을 주축으로 이북 출신 예술인들로 구성된 '꽃초롱' 단원으로 입단, 첫 무대 활동을 시작한다.
무엇보다 가수와 영화배우, 두 분야에서 큰 획을 그은 원조 만능 엔터테이너로 통한다.
1953년 '밤의 탱고'를 시작으로 300여 곡의 주옥같은 노래를 남김과 동시에 1980년대 초까지 배우로서도 활약하며 100여 편의 영화에 출연했다. '백치 아다다', '미사의 종', '아카시아꽃잎 필 때' 등이 대표적이고, 동시에 영화주제가까지 히트시켰다.
이국적인 외모로 인도 출신의 세계적인 배우 안나 카시피(1934~2015)를 연상케 해 '한국의 안나 카시피'로 불리기도 했다.
집안 자체가 스타 패밀리였다. 본인과 오빠 전오승 외에도 세 살 터울의 여동생 전봉옥 또한 1950년대에 '샌프란시스코의 꾸냥' '스냅 사진사' 등을 발표하며 가수로 활동했다.
박성서 대중음악평론가는 나애심에 대해 "정열적인 눈과 이지적인 마스크로 등장해 우리나라에서 본격적으로 노래하는 스타, 즉 '싱잉스타(Singing star) 시대'를 열었다"고 평했다.

[SBS Entertainment News | Reporter Lee Jung-ah]
Singer and actor Na Ae-sim (real name Jeon Bong-sun) has died at age 87.
She is well known as the mother of popular singer Kim Hye-rim in the 1990s.
Na-ae-sim, who was born in Jinnampo, South Pyongan Province in 1930, attracted attention with exotic looks and husky tones.
She devoted her voice to 'Tango at Night' composed by her brother Jeon O-seung (real name Jeon Bong-soo, who died in 2016) in 1953 she sang' Definite Love ',' Forever ',' When the Time Goes', 'Servant of Mass',' Twilight is sad, 'Don't ask the past', 'Mambo I don't like' and has released over 300 songs.
Among them, 'When the Time Goes' is a song sung by Lee Jin-seop and written by writer Lee Jin-seop during the improvisation written by Park In-hwan, a poet of horses and ladies at a bar in Myeong-dong.
She also worked as a movie star. Beginning with the film 'Female Army' in 1954, 'Love of Salvation' (1955), 'Ada Ida' (1956), 'Tragedy without End' (1958), 'Marine Not Returning' (1963), 'Rice' (1964) ), 'Potato' (1968), 'Crying parrot's body' (1981) appeared in more than 100 films until the early 1980s.

-------------------------------------------------------------
CONCLUSION:
Na Ae Sim had a hot soulful voice which gave her choices of songs a unique character. It fit well with styles like tango. I don't particularly find those vocal qualities in her later singing.
