Ok. Not Chris Christie and a yellow river.

I’m from the northeast. I see “Christie” and “Yellow River” and I think pollution.

Great lost classic from a great year in music. Thanks for posting.

‘Yellow River’ was first offered to The Tremeloes but they turned it down. The Tremeloes did record the song first (but did not release it) with the same instrumental backing track used for the latter version by Christie:

I wonder why they were recording/playing a song about a river in China while cruising down the Thames in London.

I love the old pop songs. Especially the way bring back a snapshot in time. They just don’t make them anymore.

Good song.

Prefer this version, from before year zero, by Pan Ron:
