I just got a collection of songs by the fabulous and (in China) ultra-famous singer Zhou Xuan. Here's an example of her singing "Song of the Four Seasons" (hopefully hearing it will tempt you to seek out and listen to more!):
There's some info about here here at the wikipedia site.
And to give credit where credit is due: I had never heard of Zhou until I saw the film Electric Shadows (which, by the way, is the literal reading of the Chinese characters for the word 'movie(s)' which looks like 电影 / 電影).
