Groovy Lena Horne from the 60s – an album that's a heck
of a lot hipper and more swinging than most
of her sets from a decade before! That unmistakable Horne style
of singing is still very much in place here – but the backings are often tightly punctuated, with a gently soulful groove that definitely lives up to the title, and which serves up most
of the tracks with a nice little sense
of rhythm. Ray Ellis is working here with Lena on the backings – and his style is arguably a bit groovier than usual too, with more
of the syncopations you might find in mid 60s Quincy Jones or Oliver Nelson. Titles include "I Got A Worried Man", "What The World Needs Now Is Love", "Love Bug", "
Taste Of Honey", "I'd Like To Hear It Sometime", and "You Know What To Do".
