CD (Item 449766) Decca/Collectors Choice, 1955 — Condition: New Copy

One of Sammy D's earliest albums for Decca – but a record that has him emerging as a fully-formed vocalist in his own right! The set's got a feel that's a lot like some of Davis' best live performances – one that mixes ballads, show numbers, and a few more playful tunes with ease – supported by light arrangements from Sy Oliver and Mort Stevens, and always coming across with a strong focus on Sammy's incredible voice and magnificent control. Every word of each tune is superbly contemplated, shaped, and phrased – packing the numbers with plenty of Sammy's personality, yet never going too far over the top. Titles include "You Do Something To Me", "Body & Soul", "Come Rain Or Come Shine", "It's All Right With Me", "Thrill Is Gone", "Tenderly", and "Happy Ending".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
