Kathy BARR 1957

Here is also a songbird I don't know much about. The liner notes are as always at the time. "The greatest of them all..." but strictly no informations ! This is her first recording and, at my knowledge, her only one.
I just know it that can be of any interest, that she's born Marilyn Sultana Aboulafia in New York and that this flamming redhead is from Turkish ancesters. She sung in operettas and it is Mario Lanza who brought her to RCA.
That's it! If you can add something...

I purchased the Spanish release of the album in the mid-ninties and play it frequently. I love it! Very light & fun.

The music on this one is arranged and conducted by Jerry Fielding who also did a lot of soundtracks for movies and television. He got Academy Award nominations for "The wild Bunch" and "Straw Dogs".
