Eydie Gorme.
Along with "Eydie Vamps The Roaring Twenty's" this is my favourite Eydie L/P...This is what you call Mood Music and she sings brilliantly !!!!
Yes this cover is worn and battered so you know what that means... "Yep" correct a favourite once more....Its one to remember... I did read somewhere that she won an award for it... and if she did it is worth it...not got a favourite track because everyone is a gem!!....Having said that I just love "Why Try To Change Me Now"...not because of the way she sings it but the lyrics blow me away....This was recorded in 1958....61 years ago...Another brilliant vocalist that was taken from us too soon !!

Demis Roussos....320 Kbps
Not heard too much of "Demis's work so I reckon that this L/P comes under the "More you hear it the better it becomes" slot !!...The second side is much better than the first side apart from the last track on the first side "On the Greek Side Of My Mind"which is rather way out and "Cool"!!!

Tony Hatch & Jackie Trent - The Two Of Us
(1967)
Tony
Hatch and Jackie
Trent were married at the time of their 1967 album The
Two of Us. WhileHatch had
released some instrumental easy listening albums under his own name, this was
the first time he'd sung anything but background vocals on record.
Understandably, however, his singing was somewhat subservient to Trent's, who
had already scored hits in the U.K. with Hatch as
producer.

Ella Fitzgerald.320 Kbps
This is one of the best "Live" L/Ps that Ella has done...recorded in 1957 first side was recorded in "Chicago" at "The Opera House"and the second side at "The Shrine Auditorium" in Los Angeles....on the CD release they have issued the "Chicago" tracks in "Stereo" and the whole of the concert tracks in "Los Angeles"in "Mono"so you do have a repeat of the tracks but they are different versions...The CD version is well worth getting you have 18 tracks as oposed to 9 on this version....so have stroll down to the record shop and get it it's worth it !!!

Young At Heart.(Film)..320 Kbps
This is not from the soundtrack....In the distant 50's I think
that they would go into the studio and record the songs...on this L/P
there are two tracks that are not in the film and you don't get the
title song either...I think it was because Sinatra recorded for
"Capitol" records so I suppose it was something to do with "Contractual"
things... The two songs that Frank sings are the ones not in the
film.."One For The Road" was ok because he had recorded it before he
moved to "Capitol"... before he joined the "Capitol" Label he was
recorded by "Columbia" which was "Philips" in England...When I was in my
teens Doris Day was my favourite singer...
1. Till My Love Comes To Me......Doris Day
2. Ready Willing And Able.....Doris Day
3. Hold Me In Your Arms......Doris Day
4. You Can Take My Word For It Baby.....Frank Sinatra
1. There's A Rising Moon......Doris Day
2. One For My Baby And One More For The Road....Frank Sinatra
3. You My Love.....Doris Day
4. I'm Glad There Is You.....Frank Sinatra

Mel Torme...320 Kbps
A nice set of songs by "The Velvet Fog"....That I believe is what they used to call Mel Torme...Just checked on "Google" to see if he was still with us and unfortunately he died in 1999.
He had a big hit in England with his version of "Mountain Greenery"...not sure if it was a hit world wide I should imagine that it was....He in my opinion was a Male "Ella"as far as his voice he could "Scat" just like Ella....its a pity they didn't do any recording together !!
