Minami Saori (南沙織) - Covers 1971-1974 Post 1

Saori Minami, also known as Cynthia, was an early 70s idol (1971-1978).  She is best known for her biggest hit and debut single, "17" (17才), which was covered and became a late 80s hit for another idol.
She made a lot of covers in English and Japanese, of recent hits (at the time), or 60s hits.  Her English is very good, and her singing voice is mature and lyrical.  
I'm splitting this up into 5 parts, in two posts; so the dl link will be at the bottom of all the lists!  Ok!
Check her out @ amazon.co.jp!
