Pat Thomas

Some great standard songs now from the singer who first recorded "Desafnado" in English and made it a hit !!
Pat Thomas was an American jazz singer from Chicago who had a hit with "Desafinado". She also recorded "The Long Long Night".

Jazz Singer Pat Thomas found herself in an interesting predicament. Having trotted onto the scene in 1961, she managed to score the one of highest  charting versions of “Desafinado (Slightly Out Of Tune)” the next year. Her relative youth, beauty and poise made her seem a more likely candidate to cross over out of the bounds of Jazz into R&B, Pop or Soul. Her one chart entry proved to be a bit of a surprise for Verve Records. Before embarking down a different path, she was unleashed on a series of Latin Jazz interpretations for a year.
And here is her different path !!

1. Blue Room
2. Star Eyes.
3. Sometimes I'm Happy
4. My One And Only Love.
5. Stella By Starlight.
6. Strike Up The Band.

1. It Could Happen To You.
2. Mean To Me.
3. Almost Like Being In Love.
4. I Didn't Know What Time it Was.
5. There'll Never be Another You.

        3. Sometimes I'm Happy
