I remember her Personality Shows on German TV in the Sixties - the best music program of that time -, and she was a great guitarist, too! As a proof: A few years ago, the German actor/singer Manfred Krug wanted to record a bossa nova CD, but couldn't find a guitarist able to cope with that rhythm. So he turned to Caterina - she must have been in her Seventies then -, and she needed just one take for each song. What a pro!
Damn right, ejjmuc. She certainly would have loved to sing more jazz. But a Diva of Jazz in the fifties in Germany? So we have only one LP with the great Edelhagen Big Band ( a great honour for her from her label Polydor!) , one with the Sy Oliver Band recorded in New York, AND a "Caterina Valente in London", reissued 2004, available also on vinyl (!), with the Johnny Keating Big Band, recorded with the high DECCA standard - highly recommendable.
Liebe Caterina, zu Deinem 80sten Geburtstag heute alles erdenklich Gute. Ich bin Dein Fan seit 1955 und werde es ewig bleiben! Monika (70) aus Hannover.
Thanks for this history lesson of these two greats!

For any of you guitarists wondering--this is a Swedish-made "Levin" guitar...

proofurgae Thank you many much. I have both songs, back to back, however on a 78 rpm record, and this is SO much better.

@ljliljohn No problem. I'm quite jealous you have a record of this! But yea, it's a lot easier to listen this way.
