From Billboard - January 26, 1963: Miss Lynne has long been a jazz favorite. This LP should rack up more respectable sales in the field with good sales also coming from pop buyers. The album showcases the lass with a fine West Coast rhythm section that features Herman Foster on piano. Crowd reaction in back of the singer generates excitement. Some of the better tracks are: "In Love In Vain," "But Beautiful," "What Kind Of Fool Am I" and "I'll Buy You A Star,"

But Beautiful
The native New Yorker Ms Lynne's contract was transferred with the rights and masters to Hollywood when Harry Belock exited the record business in 1961. This is one of the albums from that era. Apparently the new owners were not particularly nurturing or even up front with royalties and she couldn't wait to get out!
