Angmo lady version is emotionless and boring. Unlike ??? who sings the song with such passion, e.g. in 1:48.

Ok found the history of these chinese songs. So they originated from Shanghai in the 1920s and moved to HK in 50s after CCP banned these songs in China and reached its height from 50s to late 60s before they got replaced by mandopop and later cantopop. No wonder so many chinese songs in HK in 50s and 60s way before cantopop emerged in late 70s.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shidaiqu
"In Shanghai shidaiqu was regarded as Chinese popular music beginning in the 1920s. Its heyday was in the 1940s, then it died out in 1952 in China when the Communists banned nightclubs and pop music production. The tradition then moved to Hong Kong and reached its height from the 1950s to the late 1960s, when it was replaced by Taiwanese pop (sung in Mandarin) and later cantopop. While it is considered a prototype, music enthusiasts may see it as an early version of mandopop. "
