Kay Starr Sings!
Kay Starr Sings!
Coronet Records CX 106
1963
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 orches- tras. 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.
Here on this record you will hear some of the finest jazz-rooted vocals ever made by Kay Starr; the style which we believe to be her most sincere, and one in which she performs to her fullest.

Thanks so much for posting this. I used to own this album on vinyl and I haven't heard it in years -- a trip down memory lane!
