Great Women Of Song: Carmen McRae

Verve Records presents the latest in its outstanding Great Women of Song series, honoring the remarkable work and enduring influence of some of history's greatest female vocalists. Carmen McRae, like her idol Billie Holiday, could truly make a ballad her own. And she could swing as powerfully as Ella Fitzgerald, her other major inspiration. Rising during the bebop era under Thelonious Monk's musical influence, Carmen recorded for Decca, solidifying her reputation and starting a nearly 50 - year career. Whether with small groups or a studio orchestra, she recorded definitive versions of jazz and Great American Songbook staples. Tracklist: 1. Love Is Here To Stay 2. When I Fall In Love 3. You Don't Know Me 4. Whatever Lola Wants 5. Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye 6. You Took Advantage Of Me 7. When The Red, Red, Robin Comes Bob, Bobbin' Along 8. I Was Doing All Right 9. My Romance 10.
