I bought this CD mostly on a lark for a friend who thinks Stefanie Powers is the epitome of class and charm--both in her roles and in real life. I admire her as well, but I didn't know what to expect from her as a singer. I hadn't realized her dancing, singing background, until this. What a fabulous surprise! And I wonder why my local "Great American Songbook" radio station isn't giving this air-play!

The pluses: Great music and lyrics, spectacular piano and bass, clarity of sound that puts the listener right next to the stage in an intimate nightclub, beautiful phrasing and perfect pitch--even in spots where others tend to slide up to a note. That aspect of her singing reminded me of the Sinatra approach--absolutely accurate on every note. "Ten Cents A Dance," while a great song and performed wonderfully, prevents the CD from being one that keeps the soft torch mood throughout; the CD liner notes didn't do justice to Ms. Powers in that the quotes from others tended to be somewhat offhand about her singing; there wasn't enough background material on the Ms. Powers, although I did like the details about the songs. Small quibbles that certainly don't effect the sound of the music.

There are a number of cabaret-type singers recording now--many of them working like crazy to sound sultry. Ms. Powers doesn't sound sultry in that commercial sense--she sounds like a woman who has lived a passionate life without ever being sordid about it. The CD is a treat!

Not only is she a great actress and philanthropist but she has a a beautiful singing voice as well. I was privileged to see her perform in Applause in Baltimore. She was absolutely fabulous. Any fan of jazz, blues, or torch will love this cd.

"The Girl From U.N.C.L.E." can really sing, no joke! Very nice on ballads, but lets out with some Merman-y sass on "Ten Cents A Dance". (I think this may be the only version that isn't a self-pitying exercise in nervous breakdown!) A welcome addition to the cabaret genre & let's hope she keeps with it.
