5.0 out of 5 stars One of The Most Underrated Pop/Jazz Vocalists At Her Best, April 19, 1999

This review is from: Della Della Cha Cha Cha (Audio CD)

Della Reese shows she's a better singer than most critics give her credit fot!!! She knows what to sing and what not to sing! The best examples on this disc are "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" and "Always True To You In My Fashion". Other cuts worth checking out include "It's So Nice To Have A Man Around The House","Whatever Lola Wants", and "There's A Small Hotel". Betty Carter and Carmen Macrae should of made an album this good!!!

This review is from: Della Della Cha Cha Cha (Audio CD)

When Della moved from Jubilee Records in 1959, she got signed to RCA Victor, and scored two million-sellers with "Don't You Know" and "Not One Minute More". Her first album was under the control of the late great Neal Hefti, and "Della" recieved a Grammy nomination the following year. Her second album "Della by Starlight" was a lush affair arranged by Glenn Osser, and this, her third album, was a collection of old standards done in a way you have never heard before. In 1960/61, Cha Cha Cha was the new dance craze, and everybody tried their hand at it, with mixed results. No matter how blue or sad a song was, Della always injected a sense of joy into the songs, so her animated nature fit perfectly with the new craze. From "Diamond's Are a Girl's Best Friend", to "Whatever Lola Wants", Della works her magic like only she can. She was having a lot more fun than she had ever had, and it shows in her singing. She's loose, carefee and delighted. If you compare her singing to the album "Special Delivery", released the same year, you can hear a clear difference in her approach to singing. My personal favorites are "Always True to You in My Fashion" and "Love for Sale".
