Harry James & Helen Forrest, Mister Five By Five

[MrRJDB1969]

Whether it be with Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, or Harry James, Helen Forrest was excellent. I can't think of one bad recording she ever made . I have just about all her recordings on Bluebird Records with Artie Shaw and 90% of her Columbia Records recordings, with both the Goodman & James Orchestra's, all on 78 rpm and to me they are all equally great ! With that said though, and I also posted this same recording up here on Youtube, the Slack / Morse version is great as well.

Helen Forrest is the best female swing singer!
