Here is a beautiful 50's-ish noir song (popularized by Sarah Vaughan), sung by the great yet forgotten singer Ketty Lester. Like so many other American interpeters of the Great American Songbook who recorded in the 1950's and the early 1960's, Ketty Lester is a largely forgotten singer recently rediscovered in the current Japanese reissue craze. Ketty Lester was born Revoyda Frierson in 1938 (some sources say 1934) in Hope, Arkansas. Little has been published about her early career, although she appears to have been adept at both singing and acting. By the early 1960's, Lester had toured Europe with Cab Calloway's orchestra and earned positive notices for her work in an off-Broadway production of "Cabin in the Sky". In 1962, Lester had a hit with "Love Letters", resulting in a full-length album of the same name. By 1964, Lester had signed with RCA Victor. Lester's first album stressed her R&B roots with its title, "The Soul of Me". "Where Is Love?", Lester's second album, is a perfect example of her "standards sung slightly soulfully" style, a mixture of Dinah Washington's bluesy laments and the elegant readings of Nancy Wilson, Lurlean Hunter and Valerie Carr. With a number of well-known songs from theatrical shows such as "Oliver!", "My Fair Lady", and "West Side Story", the record conveys the singer's ongoing interest in the stage. Two years later, she recorded the album "When a Woman Loves a Man" for the Tower label. Then she turned to acting. In the 1970's, she .... + Informações

Although this recording was actually made and released in 1961, it didn't become a hit until 1962 when some disc jockeys decided to flip the record over and begin playing the "B-side" of Ketty's release of "I'm A Fool To Want You". It's not the first time a "B-side" like "Love Letters" became the hit side, but it was very fortuitous for Ketty since she would never have another recording with the impact of this one. Ketty's "Love Letters" is a reworking of the 1945 hit by Dick Haymes, and it went all the way to #5 in March of 1962.. + Informações

BEST SOUND AT 480p I'm a fool to want you by Ketty Lester from 1962 on the original ERA 45, uploaded by request and played on a 1956 Wurlitzer model 1900 jukebox equipped with a Pickering magnetic stereo cartridge. This song sounds like it was written just for a singer like Ketty Lester . The orchestra arrangement, the piano, the soft violins in the background and her incredible voice makes this, in my opinion,one of the best versions of this song. She sings it with such depth and feeling you can literally feel the heartache An internet radio suggestion for listening to the great American classics from the 1920's to the 1980's www.krli.net. + Informações

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED - (Tower 166-B) Recorded at the Capitol Tower in Hollywood, this wonderful 1965 double-sider is one of Ms. Lester's finest discs. The A-side, 'I'll Be Looking Back' is a soulful, tension-building ballad with the flip 'West Coast', a brief but on-fire, dancefloor number. Both sides were written and produced by Four Preps group member, Ed Cobb and arranged by Lincoln Mayorga. Although neither side made any noise in regard to record sales, the tunes were given fantastic exposure when Ketty Lester performed them on ABC-TV's 'Shindig!' and 'Shivaree'.. + Informações
