A Blast from the Past?

My first experience with "Asian" actresses was ages ago. I know more now, but at the time I was a little kid and my family used to play this album, among others. I do remember Harry Belafonte and Mario Lanza signing their songs. But I also remember Pat Suzuki doing "My Heart Belongs to Daddy." Years later, it must have been in the late 1970s or early 1980s, I was doing messenger work for CBS. The address I had to go to was in Kips Bay, and I was supposed to deliver or pick-up something to/from...Pat Suzuki. I arrived at Kips Bay (at that time a neighborhood unknown to me), and I met Pat Suzuki. She seemed amazed and delighted that I knew her. I forget now what she said, but I briefly also saw her son, David, who seemed to be heading outside. I doubt very much that she remembers me or those moments, but I certainly do.

Years later, I am researching material from my book and I came across her name, of course. I ordered a CD that contained her four albums and found she had a voice that was sweet and powerful at the same time.

I do not know if she still lives at Kips Bay. She has a birthday coming up, and I wish her the best.

Oh, and this is the album. Well, part of it. My place is a mess, and I didn't know even if I had the album. I found it, however, almost immediately. Just the cover, bent, with no back cover or record, though both are probably someplace. I told you, my place was a mess.
