From the back cover: The ring surrounding Rosemary Clooney in this instance is formed by the Hi-Lo's, adding their insouciant vocals to her lilting interpretations, and together the five of them have turned out one of the most engaging collections in a long, long time. There has always been something special about Rosemary's singing – even when she was a vocalist with a sizable dance band, in tandem with her sister Betty, she had all the earmarks of the stardom that later became here's – and she has rarely been more communicative or caressing than she is here. The Hi-Lo's, fresh from a highly successful Columbia Record debut, add their own remarkable spicings along the way, and the result is indeed a delight to the ear.

The Hi-Lo's have been in existence, as such, since 1953, and are already famous as one of the most imaginative and inventive singing groups in show business. In addition to their appearances with Miss Clooney, they have been seen on many other television programs, have appeared in Las Vegas nightclubs, in theaters and concert halls, and in the Hollywood Bowl. The members of the group include Gene Puerling, who made the vocal arrangements for this collection; Clark Burroughs, whose phenomenal vocal range contributes many of the unusual effects they attain; Bob Morse and Bob Strasen.
