This Is The Girl That Is Nancy Ames

This Is The Girl That Is 
Nancy Ames 
Producer: Walter Raim
Cover Design and Photography: Studio Five
Liberty Records LST-7369
1964

From the back cover: Nancy Ames is known nationwide as the "TW3" girl, singing the theme song and special material for the NBC-TV show, "That Was The Week That Was," seen each week. She is also one of the finest folk singers in the land, and has performed in many top clubs and concerts nationally.

Also from the back cover: If there is a special feeling of authenticity in these performances, chalk it ups to two particular factors. First, Nancy herself is of Latin decent. (Her grandfather served as president of Panama.) She speaks fluent Spanish and knows intimately the various cultures of Latin America.

And second, her accompaniment in this album is by the Trio Los Chicos, an authentic Latin group which is prominent in its own right. This group, incidentally, features, besides fine guitar work, the unique Paraguayan harp, a native instrument with a sound and charm all its own.
