"I was already familiar with Miyoshi Umeki's performances in movies such as "Sayonara," and "Flower Drum Song"; but when I read that she had a singing career before appearing in movies, I got curious. I was happy to find two of her 1960(?) LPs that recently became available as CDs. I bought her "Miyoshi" CD and was charmed by her sweet voice. On this CD, my personal favorites are "Gone with the Wind," "You Make Me Feel So Young," and "They Can't Take That Away From Me." This CD grew on me: The more I heard it, the more I liked it. I am just minutes away from ordering her other CD. By the way, through a bit of internet research on her before I bought her CD, I discovered that she lives in Hawaii and is 73 years old. I hope she's doing well because she made my day."
