Johnny Mathis....320 Kbps

Recorded in 1975 Johnny sings a selection of other singers hits....sung in the "Mathis" style but very close to the original hits....would have liked him to have done them different and given the songs a different slant !!!......Didnt scan the back cover because the track listing was in white against a yellow background and all you can see on the scan is 12 inches of yellow colour !!!

Ella Fitzgerald

 Some of the best L/P's of Ella's is her "live" ones and this is one of her many bests !!....The year is 1965 and her voice is at it's best...I have seen her live about 5 times and she can certainly whip an audience into a frenzy when she does her "Scat" singing and you can hear a pin drop when she goes into the slow sweet songs like "Summertime" Ect....I have also met her and spoke to her 4 times out of the 5 even been in a Rolls Royce and the band bus with her...but that's another story !! back to the music..Her version of "Honeysuckle Rose"is fantastic and would have been a great single...also her version on this L/P of "How High The Moon" is taken at a very slow pace not a bit like her usual version....overall this is definatly one of her best....and if you buy the Japanese release CD you get 21 tracks instead of 12 !!!

Kiki Dee....320 Kbps

Kiki Dee is the only British Singer that has been signed by "Tamla Motown"..this 1970 L/P has her singing cover versions of Motown songs...and she does a darn good job of it....just listen to her version of "For Once In My Life"...I think that if it had been issued as a single it would have become a hit !!...this was a one and only session for the Motown label which is a pity because I think she could have done well working with the Motown Song Writers...

P.S. I think that this is one of Kiki's best L/P's
