Rosemary Clooney
Clap Hands! Here Comes Rosie! / Fancy Meeting You Here (with Bing Crosby)

Description

This CD pairs two beloved Rosemary Clooney recordings in one package: the swinging, big-band-inflected Clap Hands! Here Comes Rosie! and Fancy Meeting You Here, her delightful duet album with Bing Crosby. Clooney was one of the most technically assured and warm-toned vocalists of the postwar era, equally at home with jazz swing and intimate balladry. The Crosby pairing is especially charming — two seasoned pros with effortless chemistry trading lines with wit and ease. Together, these recordings capture Clooney at a creative peak, backed by top-shelf arrangements that hold up beautifully decades on…
