They Say It's Wonderful
Vicky Lane
Orchestra Arranged And Conducted By Pete Candoli
RCA Victor LSP-2056
1959
From Billboard - December 28, 1959: Lane is a new singer who could go far on wax. She handles a group of standards with a refreshing, jazz oriented style that is both novel and exciting. And the arrangements behind her by the Pete Candoli Combo are attractive. Selections range from "The Trolly Song" to "They Say It's Wonderful," and every song is a delight to hear. Watch this girl, she has talent.
Band credits: Pete Candoli - trumpet, Barney Kessel - guitar, Joe Mondragon - bass, Jimmy Rowles or Johnny Williams - piano and alternating on drums and the other percussion instruments – never more than four of them appearing at one time: Alvin Stoller, Larry Bunker, Milt Holland, Lou Singer, Ralph Hansell, Johnny Cyr and Gene Estes.
This was Lane's first and only album. She was married to Candoli from 1953 to 1958. She passed away in 1983 at the age of 57.
