AKI ALEONG - Trade Winds, Trade Winds (1961)

Beautiful song. Aki is very talented. This song would have been perfect material for Harry Belafonte (if he also recorded this, I'm not aware of it)... Len-G

This was a "Top 20" hit on two different Los Angeles radio stations, circa November 1961, per the Oldiesloon and Las Solanas ARSA websites.

This is the first time I've heard this since late 1961, when Aki Aleong lip-synched the then-new record on Baltimore's "The Buddy Deane Show". Nice to hear it again. I liked it well enough, then, to remember a line or two all these years.
