JOANIE SOMMERS - THE VOICE OF THE SIXTIES! (1961)

This Can't Be Love
Nobody Else But Me
Cherokee
I Concentrate On You
For All We Know
The Best Thing For You
Why Try to Change Me Now
I'm Old Fashioned
Aren't You Glad You're You
This Heart Of Mine
Let There Be Love
A Wonderful Guy

Joanie Sommers' second Warner LP teams the singer with arranger Neal Hefti, an inspired pairing that yields some of the most vivacious music of her career. Although the album title trumpets Sommers as the voice of her decade, the material here draws heavily on the standards of previous generations, as exemplified by "I'm Old Fashioned." Hefti's inspired backings nevertheless boast an energy that's decidedly modern, staking out territory that's somewhere between pop and jazz, with the end result perfectly complementing Sommers' crystal-clear vocals. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
