this was a 1948 hit, SLOW BOAT TOP CHINA, that year I finished high school n Brooklyn , and my family moved to Hong Kong, sailing on a new ocean liner from Frisco, with stops in Hawaii, Yokohama/Tokoyo,and Shanghai, and finally after a long and slow 18 days ,arrived in Hong Kong. THIS WAS MY /SLOW BOAT TO CHINA/

Best version. Hands down.

Nice upload - the original of this standard I think - or the one that put it on the map anyway.

I used to listen to this on an old victrola when i was 13 back in 1997. It never gets old....

@TheMostlyNeutralMan i agree, i especially like the platters version

[TheMostlyNeutralMan]

People here probably won't like this but I hope this ends up in the next fallout game because this is a song my generation needs to hear.

Wow, super rendition! Why isn't Gloria Wood better known? Really a splendid, sexy voice!

Fantastic I can remember playing this the day it was released. I was in my parents maisonette at 130A North View Road, Hornsey, Longon. N8. U.K. I had just come out of the boy's service of the Royal Navy.
