Скачать или смотреть Emy Jackson - Crying In A Storm (1965)

Emy Jackson sings her biggest hit "Crying in the Storm" penned by Yasutoshi Nakajima in collaboration with singer Reiko Yukawa. Emy gives a strong vocal on this song backed by the Smashmen - a "ghost " band consisting of session musicians picked up by Columbia records through testing procedures; the back end chorus were the MGM boys from the Philippines. The heavy drumming and surf-styled guitar really help elevate this song.

This was her first 45, released in April 1965. Because she was singing in English, Columbia released Emy’s records on the CBS imprint, a label for foreign artists. As ‘imported’ music these cost more than 45s of Japanese-language pop, but the allure of a Japanese teen singing in English may have helped break her first single. “Crying in a Storm” reached #4 on the chart of foreign releases in Music Life in July ’65, and #6 on the Turn Table Top 50 on October 18.
