Our Take

Get ready to shimmy and shake with the incomparable Keely Smith in this delightful collection spanning her early years from 1949 to 1961. Known for her sultry vocals and sassy attitude, Smith effortlessly captivates listeners with her jazzy stylings and impeccable phrasing.

Bursting onto the scene with her debut album "I Wish You Love," Smith proves she's a force to be reckoned with from the get-go. Tracks like "Stormy Weather" showcase her dynamic range and undeniable charisma, while "That Old Black Magic" oozes with retro charm and timeless allure.

The real gem of this collection, however, is Smith's collaboration with musical legend Louis Prima. Their chemistry is palpable on hits like "Jump, Jive an' Wail," where Smith's fiery vocals complement Prima's energetic performance to perfection.

But it's not all fun and games - Smith's emotive delivery on ballads like "What is This Thing Called Love" and "Autumn Leaves" will tug at your heartstrings and leave you reaching for the tissues.

So, whether you're a die-hard Keely Smith fan or a newcomer to her enchanting sound, The Keely Smith Collection 1949-61 is guaranteed to leave you tapping your feet and longing for a bygone era of music magic. Don't miss out on this mesmerising journey through the golden age of jazz and swing.
