Of course i love Pearlie Mae, who doesn't? But I have to say that Yvette Cason puts a contemporary spin on her songs with just the right amount of insouciant swing.
Yvette Cason is sensational on the Encores album, which is indispensable if you want to hear shimmering orchestrations, restored and greatly improved by Ralph Burns and Luther Henderson.
The originals were by a fleet of orchestrators led by Ted Royal, who was never in the top tier and whose sound has not aged well.
