5.0 out of 5 stars PRICELESS INDEED IT IS, February 15, 2001

Like many of you reading this, i often find too many best of albums on the market.They actually keeps the industry running.There are fortunally exceptions like this excellent summary of CARMEN McRAE's first five years with DECCA 1955-1959.Everything here is of interest due to the superior quality of the songs:MY FUNNY VALENTINE,EVERYTIME WE SAY GOODBYE,YESTERDAYS etc, but also because of CARMEN's good readings of these songs.MY MAN'S GONE NOW let her try to match her idol SARAH VAUGHAN who made this song so much her own.If you don't know it,CARMEN McRAE is a fine singer who had when these records were made already many years of touring experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for jazz fans, June 13, 2000

Carmen McRae is one of my favorite female vocalists. "Exactly Like You" is incredible. If you are a swing/lindy hop fan then this is a good album to hold onto.
