Iwasaki Hiromi (岩崎宏美) - koibito-tachi (恋人たち)

Wow wow wow, an OLD cover album from 1979!  That means all the covers are from late 60s early 70s!  Obscure!  Great!  Love it!

Hiromi Iwasaki (岩崎宏美) was a 70s idol, and had many number one singles.  She is the older sister of 80s idol Yoshimi Iwasaki (岩崎良美).  

Many of these covers are from European sources, so I myself didn't know them too well, but Hiromi's beautiful singing voice is always great to listen to.

Track 1 was an original song for the album, so I will not be including that... sorry, but if you really want to hear it, please buy the album!  Hiromi is still singing and so... still appreciates our support.  :)  Iwasaki Hiromi @ amazon.co.jp

***It seems Shimasaki Keiko's original is obscure, and I have seen info that the original was done by someone else, an actress named Utsumi Midori (うつみ宮土理).  Iwasaki Hiromi would later release the song again as a single in 1982.


Enjoy!
