5.0 out of 5 stars A TREAT FOR FANS OF THIRTIES SWING, June 7, 2004

By

This review is from: Stardust (Audio CD)

DeeDee Wright was fun! This seemingly forgotten lady was Tommy Dorsey's foremost female vocalist from 1935-1939. Because this CD is the ONLY one on the market which features the best of Edythe Wright, fans of Tommy Dorsey/Thirties Swing will be enthralled!

Granted, DeeDee's voice wasn't beautiful in the vein of say Helen Forrest's, but it was very pleasant on the ears nevertheless. Some of her better-known recordings are: her lovely 1936 rendition of "Star Dust", "The Lady is a Tramp", "The Dipsy Doodle", "There's Frost on the Moon", "At the Codfish Ball", "Nice Work if You Can Get It", "Everybody's Doing It" and "San Francisco"

This CD is highly recommended for serious collectors of Swing-Era music: it's a nostalgic funfest which is a real find for those interested.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic songs ... less than classic sound quality, December 16, 1999

As one who is not a recording technician, I hate to dwell on the sound quality, but this CD would rate more highly if it sounded better. If you can accept that the recordings ARE quite old, this is a very listenable collection of some great songs. Even if you enjoy the swinging Sinatra of the '50s more, you can hear the start of his trademark long phrasing here. Songs like "I'll be Seeing You" and "Imagination" are timeless, although "Dolores" has not aged as gracefully, with a lot of humming and doo-be-doo's that are either charming or annoying, depending on your taste.

As far as I know there is no definitive Sinatra-Dorsey collection, but this is one worth considering.
