From the back cover: Georgia was raised in a New England orphanage and made her first personal appearance at the age of thirteen in a Children's Concert at the orphanage. By the time she was sixteen, she was already singing with local bands. Even at this early age, her voice showed the spark that was to burst into the flame of success in the years to come. One can say that the key to Georgia Gibb's success is found in the fact that she worked instead of waited for her big break. After touring the country with several name bands the big break finally came in the form of a phone call from Jimmy Durante who wanted her to sing on his network radio show. From that moment on Georgia Gibbs star climbed steadily to the top. Georgia capitalized on this break with the great energy for which she is noted, playing in rapid succession all of the major theaters and night clubs in the land. Georgia's success in the record business was inevitable, her recording of "Kiss Of Fire" followed by "Seven Lonely Days," skyrocketed her to the top and she has had a long run of hits ever since.

The Man That Got Away

I'll Be Seeing You

How Did He Look

What'll I Do

Baby Won't You Please Come Home

After You've Gone

It's The Talk Of The Town

He's Funny That Way

Say It Isn't So

If I Had You

I'll Always Be In Love With You

Somebody Loves Me
