Absolutely adore Anita Sings the Winners. Which to buy next? Anita O'Day sang for a long time with the Stan Kenton band, some of her best stuff in my opinion, I'd be looking for that, you should buy all her albums and louis prima! I was lucky enough to hear a long set of Anita's singing on WKCR.org/89.9 out of Columbia University, NYC. I was listening to her in a parked car with the seat all the way back. It was sunny and the music was just amazingly perfect.
The stuff from the 1940's really blew me away. I can positively suggest the compilation of her singing from that era. Its mostly big bands, various big bands.http://wc05.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=am... |
