A Night Out With Cindy And Lindy

 

A Night Out With Cindy And Lindy

A Night Out With Cindy and Lindy
Songs and Stories - Nightclub Style
Recorded at The Bon Soir, New York
Coral Records CRL 57370
1961

From the back cover: When reached, a supper-club crowd can be the warmest, most satisfyingly attentive audience an entertainer ever dreamed of. Unmoved, it could freeze over the Gulf Of Mexico. The audience on this record – patrons of New York's posh Bon Sour, in which the album was recorded – have quite obviously been reached.

Cindy Lord and Lindy Doherty, one of the most popular night club attractions in the country, haven't failed to win an audience since they teamed up several years ago.

The act – a delightful, fast-paced panorama of smart songs and engaging special material – is heard here in its natural habitat – the plush intimacy of a sophisticated club.

Cindy, a strikingly beautiful girl from Boston, started singing at the age of two. Under the expert tutelage of her mother – herself a professional singer – Cindy was broadcasting locally at three-and-a-half, star of her own TV show, the award-winning "Teenage Varieties" at fifteen. Cindy worked in TV and radio through high school and after, until, while part of the cast of the "Swanboat Show," she met Lindy Doherty.

Lindy, born in Revere, Massachusetts, plied his singing and dancing talents at such well-known niteries as Hollywood's Ciro's and Macombo, New York's Copacabana. He had also appeared in the Broadway hit, "Top Banana." Then he appeared on the "Swanboat Show," met Cindy, and the act you hear so delightfully showcased in this album was on its way.

Cindy and Lindy's first engagement together, at the Ruban Bleu in New York, was promptly greeted with notices characterized by the following, from the show business paper Variety: "This boy-girl team from Boston rates a sock-nitery turn. Act is lively, the performances are fresh and the material is good."

They have more than fulfilled the promise so enthusiastically predicted by the press, and their lively act, punctuated with touching ballads and spiced with irresistible humor, is favorite fare among audiences from coast to coast.

Here are Cindy and Lindy, who are "the brightest new faces I've seen in years" to Hollywood's famous Bob Hope, and are destined to be your favorites as well.
