'After you've gone'--Karen Wyman (1970).

A smashing version of the 1929 standard, from a singer about whom I know very little. I understand she was signed to US Decca around 1969 at age 16, and made one album for them, plus two later albums for Columbia before apparently abandoning music altogether.

This disc was in a box of 45s given to me long ago, and was already in poor condition when I got it. While I made an effort to eradicate the artifacts of the worst scratches and digs, some noises remain, as I couldn't eliminate them all without doing injury to the sound of the music.

Arranged and conducted by Peter Matz (Eydie Gorme, the Carol Burnett Show).

IN STEREO.

Love this version. What a voice and technique - especially for someone so young when it was recorded.

So fine & sophisicated and remember loving Karen Wyman & wondering why she disappeared right after great Columbia Lp "Karen Wyman"...stunning "After You've Gone" is brilliant from Lp filled with incredible performances from such a young singer who is so mature & perfection with great Peter Matz arrangements...Bravo Karen and would be wondrous hearing you again!

Didn't know this existed. Crazy about her since her Ed Sullivan appearance. Wish she did more. Thanks for posting,
