My Baby Loves To Swing...Vic Damone.

 

My Baby Loves to Swing is the seventeenth studio album by American singer Vic Damone. It was released by Capitol Records in January 1963, and was available both in stereo and mono sound. It was produced by Jack Marshall.

This is another fine collaboration between the buttoned-down Damone and the jazzier arranger and guitarist Jack Marshall. The concept around which the album is built is illustrated by its title, My Baby Loves to Swing. This is basically a session of big-band rhythm tunes that feature the word "baby" in them.

2. Everybody Loves My Baby.

3. You Must have been A Beautiful Baby.

4. Alright Okay You Win.

On The Swingin' Side...Vic Damone.

 A swingin' Vic Damone away from his MGM musical roles !

On the Swingin' Side is an unadulterated up-tempo delight that deserves to be rediscovered. The charts are bright, Vic Damone is relaxed but never dull, and the mood finds a nice balance between romance and spirited humor....... ( Review By Nick Dedina Of AllMusic)

 Some very early Vic Damone from 1957....well before his MGM days....his voice is easily recognisable on the slow songs but on the other faster songs sounds like a different singer !!
