Jo soars when ever she sings, her voice and phrasing are impeccable, and her husband Paul Weston had the perfect orchestra to back her, it is interesting to note that she sings the harmony line at the end of Stardust which comes from her expertise with the Pied Pipers at the start of her career, thank you Jo for giving us all those great songs.
Mmm, the Rainbow Room, gardenias in my hair, gliding across the dance floor in the arms of my darling. Jo's romantic version of this classic takes me there.
I thought I knew just HOW GOOD Jo Stafford was. Then I heard "Haunted Heart." How someone could so effortlessly, and without ANY vocal calisthentics, give so much emotion to a song, I'll never know. Definitely THE most underrated pop voice ever. Good God what power and control.
Hearing this song again makes me remember a time when America was as lovely as the song. Jo Stafford and Rosemary Clooney were the queens of this era. Though they aren't with us anymore, their magical, sweet voices keep them alive. And for that I will be eternally grateful!! Sing on girls.....We're still listening....
There is nothing like this in the present era. I can not understand why many can not aspire to this singer's greatness. Today is is all very, very loud and crude and there is no attentiopn to real art!
oh my god, thank you so much truly for uploading this, you hav eno idea how much i've wanted to hear this. and its so beautiful and jazzy, Stardust is one of my favorite jazz songs, its such a famous gorgeous tune
What a wonderful voice to go along with exceptional lyrics! It is only my opinion but I can't visualize the "hanging out" generation ever appreciating this kind music...but I digress. Her music may be before my time but I consider her as one of my favorite singers of the standards.
Goosebumps ! Gosh, this is marvelous ! Gosh to have that wonderful old floor model radio from the 30's once again to sit and listen to such as this as I did when I was a kid in the 50's. Could listen to this for hours on end...
I love this time setting... So... opulent and romantic. ^_^

Midcentury esctasy. She sums up so many moods in that dreamy voice I'm tempted to think the dream is real.

I agree! And Jo Stafford had such a golden voice :)
(Though she's no Jo Stafford, the British singer Adele has a truly lovely, rich voice. She's a current singer whom you might enjoy)

Beautiful voice, one of the greatest singers of the 40's & 5o's. I love her version of Haunted Heart.
