Description
Joni James was one of the most charming and commercially successful vocalists of the 1950s, renowned for her warm, intimate delivery and her knack for turning country and pop standards into deeply personal performances. This CD, titled Legendary, gathers 18 of her most celebrated recordings, offering a rich overview of her artistry. Highlights include her silky reading of ‘You Belong To Me,’ the Hank Williams-penned ‘Your Cheatin’ Heart,’ and the tender ‘Half As Much’ — all showcasing the gentle expressiveness that set James apart from her contemporaries. With ‘Danny Boy,’ ‘Cold, Cold Heart,’ and ‘Little Things Mean A Lot’ also represented, this disc serves as an excellent introduction to a vocalist who deserves far wider rediscovery…
