If you want music that you can't help but move to, this is it. I thought Dinah Washington was the Top Bannana, with Billie Holiday right beside her, but I have now added Helen Humes to the list. They just don't make em like this any more! True quality...true feel good music! Heaven has got to be a rockin' place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every LP Miss Humes ever recorded is worth listening to., November 9, 1999

Her 1st LP for OJC(her best was Songs I Like To Sing) out of three, is a great jazz session well worth picking up. She is one of the few artists like Anita O'Day(on Verve), you know if her name is on the cover it's worth buying. Highlights include "Amung My Suvineers" and "Bill Bailey."

While I agree that her voice can sound a little chidish at times, this is my favorite Helen Humes album. (I have a few, but this is the only one I replaced on cd). A nice selection of songs, with a very good jazz band behind her. And this is also my favorite version of my favorite song, "Stardust." After all these years, listening to her return after the horn solo still sends chills up my spine.
