江利チエミ
Chiemi Eri (江利 チエミ, born January 11, 1937, died February 13, 1982), was a Japanese popular singer and actress.
Eri was born as Chiemi Kubo on January 11, 1937 in Tokyo, Japan. She started her singing career at the age of 14 with her version of "Tennessee Waltz." She sang American songs such as "Jambalaya" and "Come on-a My House". Eri started her career as an actress similar to Misora Hibari. Eri, Misora and Izumi Yukimura formed a trio. In her concerts, she was supported by Nobuo Hara's jazz band.
Eri married Ken Takakura in 1959 but divorced in 1971. She released single "Sakaba Nite" (酒場にて lit. "At The Bar"?) in 1974. The song was later included by omnibus album "Enka no Kokoro".
Eri began her career as a singer at the age of 14 and would continue to record throughout her career. Many of her albums focused on Japanese folk music though she would often blend American standards with Latin grooves at the behest of Nobuo Hara, a prolific Jazz musician and leader of Eri's backing band.
