The Best of Helen O'Connell on Capitol [Import]

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Helen’s hallowed stint with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra has been well documented elsewhere (including by us!), but her solo recording career for Capitol during the ’50s remains totally virgin territory, which we’ve mined for this 24-track corker of a collection! Notes, photos, the works...another exclusive collection of a great big band songbird from 'Collectors’ Choice Music! '

Helen after big band.......2004-05-02

This cd follows Helen O'Connell in her post big band career with Capitol 1950-1955. During this time she mostly performed covers of other songs at the time. According to the booklet only 3 of these songs made the top 30. Despite this she sings with pep. She redoes some of her Jimmy Dorsey songs like Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing in a Hurry and Green Eyes. For me the highlight of this cd was her funny duet with Dean Martin "We Never Talk Much" in which they sing about being a boring couple. There's also two Bob Eberly duets. The cd ends with three Gisele Mackenzie duets. Although I love both of these singers I found these songs to be overdone. This cd is 3.5 rounded up to 4.
