The Big Band Era had already ended and Rock and Roll was here to stay when this tune went all the way to #2 in April of 1957. This was the swan song of the Big Band Era, one last time in the Top Ten, and for a man well-identified with those times, Jimmy Dorsey. Ironically Jimmy Dorsey died just two months after this recording had risen to such lofty heights in 1957.. + Informações

"Tangerine" was composed with music by Victor Schertzinger and lyrics by Johnny Mercer in 1941. The song was introduced in the 1942 film "The Fleet's In" starring among others Dorothy Lamour. The most popularly recorded version of this song was turned in by the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra with Helen O'Connell and Bob Eberly doing the vocal in 1942.. + Informações

Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra with Helen O'Connell -- Embraceable You (G.& I.Gershwin), Decca 1941 (USA) NOTE: Helen O'CONNELL (b.1920 in Lima, Ohio -- d.1993 in San Diego, CA) American singer, actress and dancer. In 1939 she joined the Jimmy Dorsey's band and achieved her best selling records in the early 1940s (. "Green Eyes", "Brazil", "Amapola," "Tangerine", "Yours"). In each of these Latin-influenced numbers, Bob Eberly crooned the song which Helen then reprised in an up-tempo arrangement. O'Connell was selected by Down Beat readers as best female singer in 1940 and 1941 and won the 1940 Metronome magazine poll for best female vocalist. However, being on peak of her career O'Connell retired from show business upon her first marriage, in 1943. When her marriage ended in 1951, she made comeback appearances on tv. She was one of the first "girls" on NBC's The Today Show, and she had her own NBC program, Here's Hollywood, conducting interviews with celebrities, often in their own homes. Later, she also recorded duets with Bing Crosby, Johnny Mercer, and Dean Martin.. + Informações
