Random Page  /  Random Song


Radiex (1472 b) Recorded 08-1927. Paul Bolognese and his Orchestra. The Chinese Charleston (Chinky Charleston). Fox-Trot; with Vocal Chorus. Written by Dorran & Fuller No Lyrics available.

This song was a favorite of The Last Emperor of China, Henry Puyi (Xuantong) (The last of the Manchu emperors). He got caught up in the jazz and parties of the era.
The Charleston is a dance named after the harbor city of Charleston, South Carolina. The rhythm was popularized in mainstream dance music in the United States by a 1923 tune called \"The Charleston\" by composer/pianist James P. Johnson which originated in the Broadway show Runnin' Wild and became one of the most popular hits of the decade.
The song spawned other Charleston related tunes. Novelty versions with derogatory lyrics sprung up to cash in on the craze. This song was one of them.
