Description
Joanie Sommers was one of the most technically accomplished pop vocalists of the early 1960s, blending jazz phrasing with a clean, radio-friendly tone that set her apart from her contemporaries. This CD brings together a generous selection of her recordings, including her readings of enduring standards such as ‘You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To,’ ‘I Concentrate On You,’ and the wistful ‘When Sunny Gets Blue.’ The set also features the Cole Porter-associated ‘This Can’t Be Love’ and the Cy Coleman gem ‘The Best Is Yet To Come,’ demonstrating Sommers’ ease across a wide range of material. For fans of classic vocal pop and the golden era of the American songbook, this is a rewarding and comprehensive listen…
