5.0 out of 5 stars Before Streisand there was KAY STARR!
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2001

What a joy to be able to rediscover one of the 1950s most popular female singers: Kay Starr, the Native American singer who deftly handled emotional ballads as well as zippy pop songs and jazz. Fans of "emoting" singers like Barbra Streisand who've never heard or heard of Kay Starr will fall in love with her if they listen to even just a FEW of the tracks on this wonderful CD. Her versatility and artistry is a joy to behold. The first number is her famous rendition of Side By Side, where she does a duet with herself in a show-stopping arrangement that builds until the final joyous note. Then there's her innovative song Wheel of Fortune, which blended pop with country. In The Man Upstairs she does another faced-paced duet with herself. But you still can't pigeon-hole her talent since the lyrics, phrasing and arrangement of If You Love Me (Really Love Me) will haunt you for hours. So will It's The Talk of the Town. I've heard others sing this (and I have played it on the piano and sung it myself) but never have the sad lyrics of a jilted lover sounded so meaningful and compelling. Like brassy, rousing Big Band swing (with a late 50s, early 60s sound)? On A Slow Boat To China (outstanding) and Lazy River. Even a country song with Tennesee Ernie Ford. What's amazing is not only Starr's range and versatility but the way she extracts the meaning in every single lyric. There's raw emotion behind every word and note. In his superb book Music Hound Lounge, Steve Knopper writes that had Starr "not been a pop crooner who emulated Jo Stafford and Margaret Whiting, she might have made it as a clear-voiced blues belter." He notes that even when she sang standards she sang them "deep and warm, like a more debutante-ish Patsy Cline or a less-salacious Bessie Smith." The bottom line: she was innovative, versatile and daring in her song selection -- and had a "bring-the-house-down" style hard to find these days. This collection -- with generally great orchestral arrangements -- has some of her best.

Growing up in my very small town of-Hot Springs South Dakota where I was born on the 30th of Dec. 1934 and, as we had not
even heard of T. V.'s so all we had was to listen to radio. That was when I first heard Kay Starr singing. Now 60 plus years later
I got a chance to order through my Amazon account order her CD so I now can listen to her while driving in my car. To everyone
that had a part of mailing this CD, Thank you all very much, Sincerely, Fred Chaldy

Kay Starr was without a doubt the greatest female pop singer to ever come along. She can't sing a bad song. This album is great as is all her recordings. I wish I could see her again in person like I did at the Mint Hotel in Las Vegas many times She is the love of my life.

I must confess that my favorite song by Kay Starr is "Wheel of Fortune" and that song prompted me to buy this recording. Her other songs are great, but that one in particular has been an all-time favorite of mine.

Classical music is beautiful; western music is mournful; and folk ballads tell stories. But popular music of the 50s and 60s are rife with memories of the 'good old days!' Kay Starr's "Side by Side," "Wheel of Fortune," "Slow Boat to China" and "Talk of the Town" bring back memories of bobby socks and poodle skirts. The star that tops my list of favorite vocalists is Kay Starr who, in my eyes, definitely earns kudos in the popular music category!
