Thanks for sharing this treasure with us (including the idiots who think themselves savants).

Thanks so much for posting. Miss Peggy had as much fun as anyone who plotzed listening to her. Shame they couldn't find more worthwhile movie work for her after Pete Kelly's Blues in 55.

Thanks for the chance to hear the song as originally performed (to bite sized bits), and to float away on the duet harmonies from Mr. Baker. It really is a dance of seduction, not a flat-out ballad. And the gallery of Mary pix is another delight.

Like finding a missing mountain range on the map. Thanks so much for sharing her with us. (And yes, the lady parade is hilariously well done.)

Thanks for sending this to the celestial car wash for angelic records. Thanks also for the info about the aborted film (how perfectly lovely that would have been with her).

Thank you very much for giving us the chance to see and hear this thrilling music.

All this, and Ozzie, too.

Harriet was a game gal.

Now listen to her and Jonathan's perfect deconstruction of "I Am Woman".

My favorites are still her "Paris in the Spring" and the breathtaking "Carioca".

Thanks so much for the chance to hear that. I think it's spellbinding (then again, you know I hear most things as soundtracks).

We're a ways from all those beautiful Gates, but it's still lovely territory..

Thanks so much for ferreting this out. It's a lovely alternative approach to Joi Lansing's Scopitone version (if a tad less lurid, as you might expect for ABC in the 60s). But Annie keeps the stove hot.

"A poem by Kipling as problems go rippling by",

Imagine someone putting a line like that in a tune for a jazz singer today?

I hope someone somewhere is putting together a Jeri Southern documentary. She made a lot of people very happy with that intimate swing of hers.

Great album. My thrift store copy is a pie plate. Thanks for posting the cut in such lovely clean sound. Care to give us the "Where or When" or "Ungrateful Heart" sometime?

Totally tasty, with her usual, effortless swing. This was truly one of the great songbirds. (I was lucky enough to see her live midday at St. Peter's in NYC in the early 1980s, and the lady could still get the room cooking without breaking a sweat.) Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

It's criminal that this LP never got a CD release, like so much of the Mainstream catalogue. (I killed at least 4 copies on record players over the years.) She really was this wonderful and intimate when you saw her live. Thanks so much for posting this grand performance.

Tyra takes the stand, and takes no prisoners. Sublime. Thanks for posting.

Leading eventually to the "She clean up the bel canto, I clean up the verismo repertoire" quote, and allegedly di Stefano sending her a feather duster in a florist's box for long-stem roses. (I hope that really happened.)

But nobody rode the early wave of opera broadcast on TV like Scotto, and t...

Thanks for sending out that much warmth and sunshine during such a miserable weather week. Beautiful singing and playing, Messieurs. I hope I have the good luck to hear the orchestrated version sometime soon.

That looks like the Wagner bio movie she did, Magic Fire (mid-50s).
