Description
AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS THIS RARE CHINESE LANGUAGE 78 BY "HUE LEE"
"Rose, Rose, I Love You" is the standard English title of the 1940 Chinese popular song "Méigui méigui w? ài n?" (???????), first recorded by Yao Lee (??). An English-language version whose lyrics have little in common with the original Mandarin was first recorded by Frankie Laine in 1951. It remains the only major popular music chart hit in the United States or the UK written by a Chinese composer.
The original Chinese lyrics were by Wu Cun (Ng Chuen; ?? Wú C?n) and the music was credited to Lin Mei (??), a pen name for popular song composer Chen Gexin (???). The song was first recorded in 1940 by Yao Lee (??) as an interlude for the movie Singing Girl and released as a single on Pathé Records (EMI) catalog number B. 597. Yao Lee's Mandarin version was also released in the US and UK in the early 1950s by Columbia Records, where Yao Lee was credited as "Miss Hue Lee" in this release. Other early releases have also credited her as "Yiu Lei."
