Connie Russell - Alone With You (1959)

A wonderful set from vocalist Connie Russell – a sexy singer whose sound perfectly matches her bottomless look on the cover of the record! Arrangements are relatively soft, but with a nice touch of jazz – and Connie's dusky vocals move effortlessly through the tunes – with nice little inflections that make the familiar tunes her own, and which really illuminate some of the lesser-known numbers. Ian Bernard handles the backings – and titles include “You're My Man”, “You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To”, “Take Me In Your Arms”, “All I Do Is Dream Of You”, “You & The Night & The Music”, and “That Old Feeling”.
