The Soundtrack For The Baby Boomer Generation

Step back to a time when singers were as bright as the stars in the heavens
and the music they sang was really swingin'. Stacks of wax to fit every occasion!

I was going through my records and came across another great Kitty Kallen 45 r.p.m. record I had overlooked.  Now, she's been represented before here on Music For Every Mood, (here and here), but you just can't seem to hear too much of her great voice.  Today's wonderful ballad was called Star Bright and a review of it at the time it was released in 1957 had this to say about it:  "Kitty Kallen's warm, wistful voice is in top form as the lark drifts thru a tender new love song that could follow in the footsteps of Little Things if it gets heavy airplay.  Charming romancer superbly delivered by the ace songstress.  Watch this one.  It's a sleeper with great potential."
In this time of world turmoil, sit back, relax and let the soothing sounds of this lark wash over you.  Here's Kitty Kallen delivering "Star Bright."  Ciao!
