Eydie Gormé, nombre artístico de Edith Gormezano (Nueva York, 1931), cantante y actriz de origen sefardita, ya era muy popular en USA por sus trabajos en TV, cuando obtuvo uno de sus mayores éxitos como cantante con el tema que da título a este álbum.

Posteriormente, se haría muy popular en España y en toda la América de habla hispana cantando junto al Trio Los Panchos.

Reedición en CD, que incluye 2 temas extra.



"In the opener, One Not Samba, Gorme strays very far from that note. Paradoxically, she sings every note on key. Eydie starts & ends with that glorious high note & scats so well Ella must have cringed! In Dansero, Eydie sings the same line off & on key to give stylistic & artistic effects to the same feeling of love. The cross overs to jazz (Melodie D' Amour, The Sweetest Sounds, Almost Like In Being In love, The Coffee Song, Moon River, & I Remember You ) artfully equal the stritly jazz ones, (Desfinado, The Message, The Gift, Dansero, & One Nore Samba) while the big hit nicely supports those "better songs". Eydie was quite the revealation. She was jovial, dramatic, wide-ranging & vibrant. Most jazz singers have to stretch their voices to do this materail; but on those other 11 & the 2 bonus songs, she was straight on key, never flinching. She was & is what other singers could never be: Eydie Gorme!

PS. Only Eydie could make Moon River really swing. It's that's song definitive version because everyone else did it as a ballad."
