The Great Jimmy Dorsey

The Great Jimmy Dorsey
Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra
Featuring Bob Eberly, Helen O'Connell and Kitty Kallen
Decca Record DL 8609
1957

From the back cover: These were the "golden" years for Jimmy Dorsey... the years when vocalists Helen O'Connell, Bob Eberly and Kitty Kallen were on hand turning out hit after hit... Remember "Green Eyes," "Amapola," "Tangerine," "Marie Elena"? (all on DL 8153).

From Billboard - October 28, 1957: Here's a group of a dozen perennial favorites from the Decca "J. D." catalog. Examples are "My Prayer,' "Star Eyes," "I Understand," "I'm Glad There Is You," etc. Bob Eberly, Hellen O'Connell and Kitty Kallen share in the vocals. Dorsey fans will not mind the absence of the very lastest hi-fi sound.
