It Had to Be You--Lost Radio Recordings

It Had to Be You--Lost Radio Recordings
- Shrink-wrapped
Possessing a tone as clear as a bell, perfect diction and phrasing, and no shortage of personality, Jo Stafford was one of the greatest and best-selling female singers of the pre-rock and roll era and beyond; whether itâ€™s her early sides with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and The Pied Pipers or her classic solo recordings for the Capitol and Columbia labels with arranger/conductor husband Paul Weston, there is no mistaking the sound of that magnificent voice. Now, we at Real Gone Music have a very special treat for fans of this superb, yet to some degree overlooked, vocalist: a treasure trove of 24 radio performances taken from the Carnation Contented Hour, which Jo co-hosted on the Columbia Broadcasting System. These previously unreleased 1950-1951 recordings come to us from the Tony Martin estate courtesy of Michael Feinstein and with the blessing of Joâ€™s son Tim Weston, and are taken from original master tapes, not transcription discs; remastered by Mike Milchner at SonicVision, these are studio quality sessions and thus a major, major find in the Jo Stafford discography. It is such a treat to hear Jo interpret songs like â€œDream a Little Dream of Me,â€ â€œAinâ€™t Misbehavinâ€™â€ and â€œIâ€™ve Got the World on a Stringâ€ that became big hits for other artists; Joe Marcheseâ€™s notes put it all in context along with rare photographs from that golden era.
