She Was Almost Sold To A Brothel – The Zhou Xuan Story – Phantom Dancer 23 April 2019

CHINESE

Zhou Xuan singing jazz influenced ‘Mandopop’ is your feature artist on this week’s Phantom Dancer with Greg Poppleton.

The best of China’s ‘Seven Great Singers’, you’ll hear her in three Pathe recordings she made in Hong Kong in 1994 and 1946, including the song that became Shanghai’s unofficial anthem before 1949, ‘Ye Shanghai’.

See the full Phantom Dancer play list below of swing and jazz mixed by Greg Poppleton from live 1920s-60s radio below.

PHANTOM DANCER

This week’s Phantom Dancer will be online right after the 23 April 2SER live mix at 2ser.com.

ZHOU XUAN

whose name is also romanised as Chow Hsien was an international diva popular from Shanghai to Singapore.
She was China’s top singing movie star with a life full of professional triumphs and personal tragedies. She was in over 40 movies and recorded more than 200 songs.

She was the illegitimate and abandoned child of a Buddhist nun and raised by an opium addicted foster father who was about to sell her to a brothel at age 13 when fate led her to join Li Jinhui’s Bright Moon Song and Dance Troupe.

GOLDEN VOICE

When she was fourteen, she won second prize in a singing contest in Shanghai and was given the nickname “Golden Voice” (金嗓子) for her effortless high-pitched melodies.

ANGELS OF THE STREETS

The 1920s-1930s were a time of change in Chinese music when traditional opera and folk music melded with jazz and Western rhythms to create the first generation of Mandopop.

Zhou began her film career in 1935. She achieved stardom in 1937 when director Yuan Muzhi cast her as one of the leads as a singing girl in Angels of the Streets. In that 1937 movie she sang in traditional Chinese song a song still popular in China today, The Wandering Songstress.

1940s

Zhou rapidly became the most famous and marketable popular singer in the gramophone era up to her death, singing many famous tunes from her own movies. You’ll hear three of her most famous Mandopop movie songs on today’s Phantom Dancer. These songs incorporate Latin rhythms, Western opera and jazz dance music into traditional Chinese forms. There’s even a snatch of Mrs Hills’ 1936 ‘Happy Birthday to You’.

Between 1946 and 1950, she often went to Hong Kong to make films such as “All-Consuming Love” (長相思), “Hua wai liu ying” (花外流鶯), “Sorrows of the Forbidden City”, and “Rainbow Song” (彩虹曲). After introducing “Shanghai Nights” (夜上海) in 1949, Zhou returned to Shanghai. She spent the next few years in and out of a mental institutions owing to frequent breakdowns. Through the years, Zhou led a complicated and unhappy life marked by her failed marriages, illegitimate children, and suicide attempts. Zhou’s first husband was the composer Yan Hua (严华, 1912-1992), who wrote and sometimes also performed songs with her. She died in a mental institution aged 39 in 1957.

VIDEO

This week’s Phantom Dancer video of the week is from 1947 – Zhou Xuan’s waltz, “Goodnight Serenade”. It was used as a station closer by Rediffusion TV Hong Kong in the early 1960s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCqfJKKzNB0

You can also see the video of Zhou Xuan’s most famous song, Ye Shanghai (Shanghai Nights) in a 2017 post on this blog at https://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2017/03/29/18-april-phantom-dancer-1946-%E5%91%A8%E7%92%87-zhou-xuan-%E5%A4%9C%E4%B8%8A%E6%B5%B7-ye-shang-hai-nightlife-in-shanghai/

6 June Phantom Dancer – Silent Health Film From 1920

It’s Phantom Dancer time Tuesday on radio and online – your two hour non-stop mix of swing and jazz from live 1920s-60s radio with Greg Poppleton. What’s on?

Well, there’s a set of ‘Sweet Bands’ from live 1930s-40s radio and some early late night Benny Goodman from 1935. The Velvet Fog, Mel Torme, sings two songs including one when aged 17 in front of Chico Marx’s Orchestra on a CBS Fitch Bandwagon and the last hour is all vinyl.

Listen now at 2SER radio online

Tirelessly searching YouTube for a swingy, jazzy, instructive, or ‘weird and wonderful’ Video of the Week, I’ve found something curiously wonderful – a circa 1920s ‘Women’s Hygiene’ film. It actually is medically educational (and educational as a social history) though the shower scene does verge on the pseudo-educational sexploitation films of the 1950s-60s. Enjoy!
