Album Notes & Community Reviews

Building directly upon the massive success of 'Songs for Swingin' Lovers!', this vibrant collection reunites the iconic vocalist with the legendary arranger Nelson Riddle. The brassy, propulsive orchestrations demand a highly energetic, intensely rhythmic delivery, which the singer handles with unmatched swagger and impeccable phrasing. It remains a quintessential, flawlessly executed masterpiece of the mid-century adult-contemporary pop era.
