[portobob]

Great '50's Bebop....Gloria Wood what a swinging kitty, her vocal and Pete Candoli's work are nothing but GREAT MUSIC !!!

[NickRatnieks]

Gloria Wood did the vocal on the very early Rick Nelson recording "You're My One And Only". This was one of the cuts produced by Barney Kessel who also played guitar.

[redshark618]

damn, its too bad they didnt appreciate her singing, they just wanted her high voice.

the pandering bastards!

I dunno about that. Maybe I live in the land of proud, chubby chicks (cluck, cluck)? Long Island, where the chicks know Stormy Monday and the band do not have a clue.

I assumed this was Jane Russell How wrong was I?

I owned this record in the 1950s along with 1000000 other people All my friends loved this record.I finally took this & Woody Hermans "Lemon Drop" to a Fairground(carnival) and they were played into grey mush on the waltzer ride,the music soon attracted the local boppers and a jiving contest developed.I have been aware of Pete & Conte Candoli`s contributions to big bands & jazz since my teenage ,the brothers Candoli brought lots of people lots of pleasure

[local802blues]

Great but don`t forget Pete Candoli`s great trumpet solo

[chkjns]

@local802blues Thanks for mentioning Pete! But how did you know?! I've got 550 playlists, including one for Pete & just added this to it with your help, thanks!

Somehow, I'd gushed so much about Pete's playing that I heard from his widow & we've traded several messages.She loved Pete with all her heart ! ! ! !

My playlists include 111 for every year since 1900, so I added this to the 1953 list as well.

[Chesterton7]

[sizemeat]

[Radicals888]

Thank you johnxxx20000. Gloria Wood is one fantastic hard to find dynamic sexy singer.

[bbcisrubbish]

I love the BEBOP phrasing in this, super.

[epistrophy007]

omg, she's fantastic.

didn't knew that she recorded under her own name...

knew her only from recordings with paul desmond e.a.

is this somewhere out on cd?

Some parts remind me a little bit of what Annie Ross does on 'The Alphabet' with André Hodeir

[atomicmichael]

[Moog167]

THIS MUSIC IS SOOO HOT!!!

[ari1234a]

The women in the 30s,40s and 50s were real women not thsi sticks you see nowadays.

They had curves in those times.

Nice singing btw.

[shuckslbj]

Amen. So hot.

[dept2]

You forgot to mention - she sang lead in the Jud Conlon singers doing the Dobie Gillis Theme.

[professortheremin]

@dept2 cool beans. Did we also mention that Gloria was the voice of a singing giraffe in the Chuck Jones film, Nelly's Folly?

[TheLights045]

Gloria Woods never dubbed Vera-Ellen's voice. It was Trudy Stevens.

[yennyennyennn]

yay!!!!!

[MissLeigh78]

Marilyn sang all her songs in RONR.
