Description
Recorded for Reprise Records in the early 1960s, Rosie Solves The Swingin’ Riddle! captures Rosemary Clooney at her most confident and swinging, backed by a full big band under the direction of Billy May. The album is a masterclass in classic popular singing, with Clooney’s rich, assured voice cutting through brassy, energetic arrangements on a programme of timeless standards. Highlights include a jubilant reading of ‘Get Me To The Church On Time’, the brooding intimacy of ‘By Myself’, and a sly, rhythmically charged take on ‘You Took Advantage Of Me’. This CD is essential listening for fans of the Great American Songbook and the golden era of big band pop…
