The Very Best Of Pat Suzuki
The RCA and Vik Recordings

Description

Pat Suzuki burst onto the American music scene in the late 1950s as one of the most distinctive and powerful voices of her era, blending jazz-inflected pop with theatrical flair and an irrepressible energy that set her apart from her contemporaries. This CD brings together her essential work for RCA Victor and the Vik imprint, the recordings that established her reputation and made her a crossover sensation at a time when Japanese-American artists were rarely afforded such mainstream visibility. Celebrated for her Broadway triumph in Flower Drum Song and her appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, Suzuki’s studio recordings capture the same electrifying presence she brought to the stage. This compilation is an indispensable document of a pioneering artist at the peak of her powers…
