5.0 out of 5 stars Betty's Hits - Vol. 1, January 5, 2000

Betty Johnson's, The Little Blue Man, has been a favorite of mine since I was a young girl. My mother, sister and I remembered this particular song for a long time and wanted to try to find a copy of it. It turned out that I was able to surprise my mother with a copy for her birthday. Everyone in the family was excited to finally hear The Little Blue Man.

I was recently introduced to the music of Betty Johnson by a friend, and am I glad he told me about her. She has an extremely versatile vocal style, which ranges from sweet to bluesy. "I Dreamed" is one of the most fun songs I have ever heard. I am also very fond of "I'll Wait," "1492," and "I Guess I'm Really in Love." I liked this CD so much that I bought a few other CDs of Ms. Johnson's work, which focus on standards with a jazzier setting. She is equally at home in that milieu as she is with the lighter pop ditties. She is an excellent interpreter who really infuses the lyrics with meaning.

As a Radio Dee-Jay for over 48 years, I was putting together a radio program and was missing a tune called "I DREAMED" from 1956. I found it on Amazon.com and bought it. I played the CD as I was writing up my show and have forgotten just how good this lady really was, because I remembered several of the other tunes on it. There was a phone number on the CD to order others.

When I called, I explained the above and got a big "Thank You". It was none other than Betty Johnson, herself. I asked if she would like to do an hour show and she agreed. I am pleased with all of her recordings and am sure my listeners will be, also. There is not a bad song in the lot.. Thanks Betty.
