From the back cover: Born Katherine Starks in Dougherty, Oklahoma, July 21, 1922... Kay Starr is today one of the great female Jazz singers. Raised in Dallas, her first singing debut was on a local radio station. At seventeen, she made her first move into the "big-time", as a temporary substitute for Marion Hutton in Glenn Millers' 1939 band.

Through the war years she made progress with the big bands of the period; Bob Crosby, Joe Venuti and Charlie Barnet orchestras. In 1945 she left Barnet and signed up with Capitol Records, where such famous hits as "Wheel Of Fortune", etc., she rapidly rose to national fame as a solo artist.
