Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the cover and jacket notes excerpt.

From the back cover: She (Kerr) has handled such a wide range of modern sounds that eclecticism has become a thing with her. You've heard the stories about Box Beiderbecke crawling up to the piano before he could walk and rattling out a few fast licks that Willie The Lion Smith couldn't duplicate? Well, so did Anita's mother. At the age of four in Memphis, Tennessee, or heroine was pounding the ivories with child-like hostilities. But Willie didn't even come to listen. Hardly dismayed, Anita's mother discovered that her daughter had perfect pitch. Alas, this joyous news was quickly dampened by another set-back – the local baseball team only needed a second baseman and wasn't interested in girls anyway.

This was enough to drive practically anybody to Nashville, where Anita began her career as an arranger and choral director in 1948. Her trail through the years that follow includes excursions onto the Arthur Godfrey Show, four million-seller albums backing Al Hirt, European tours, the popularization of the Nashville Sound, Grammy Awards, and her happy arrival in Hollywood. That doesn't really say it right about Anita and her terrific reputation with fans and recording industry people alike (many are, in fact, one in the same). But it's the music that is important.

From Billboard - December 16, 1967: The Anita Kerr Singers maintain their smooth, easy listening swinging style that's been their trademark for success, in this LP. The title song, a breezy rocker, is typical of their groovy output. Arrangements are fresh and delightful.
