Bright swing vocals accompanied by a gorgeous big band
This work, recorded with orchestral accompaniment arranged and conducted by Bob Thompson, is a masterpiece by Rosemary Clooney, featuring clear singing of standard songs.
This studio album, released by RCA Victor in 1960, features Clooney singing standards like "Give Me the Simple Life" and "Bye Bye Blackbird" with the backdrop of arranger Bob Thompson's big band sound. The title track, a medley of "Clap Hands! Here Comes Rosie! / Everything's Coming Up Rosie," explodes with bright, bouncy swing. Clooney's clear voice and excellent sense of rhythm are particularly striking, resulting in a Grammy-nominated performance.
