Person: Shuri Eiko
Info
Shuri Eiko was born as Tanabe Eiko (田辺栄子) in Tokyo, Japan. She was one of the greatest Japanese songstresses who made her way to American show business early on.
She debuted in 1964 in Japan and shortly after in Las Vegas as the back-up vocals for Sarah Vaughan. After her contract ended there, she went back to Japan in 1966, where she couldn't find much recognition. In 1969 she returned to Las Vegas where she became a solo entertainer. With more experience, she managed to hit the Japanese market after her return there in 1971.
She was the first Japanese woman to have a concert at Carnegie Hall in 1976. At one point The Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr asked her for a date, which she rejected. Later, she said with a laugh that she would have been a Yoko Ono if she had accepted it then.
