1	Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: Best of Dinah Washington (1999) more music like this by Dinah Washington Dinah Washington could sing any song and make it sound like everybody's life depended on it. An awe-inspiring jazz vocalist with roots in the R&B scene of the 1940s, she gradually evolved into a pop star during the '50s and would have matured marvelously were it not for an accidental prescription drug overdose that took her out at the age of 39 on ... see all copies from $12.41! new only from $12.41!
2	The Very Best of Julie London [2006] (2006) more music like this by Julie London The Very Best of Julie London offers an extensive overview of London's recording career with 50 selections she cut for Liberty Records between 1955 and 1969. The tracks are not newly remastered for the most part, but are taken from EMI's series of import two-fers and the domestic reissues Ron Furmanek and Bob Norberg produced in the early '90s. ... see all copies from $10.84! new only from $18.96!

The album also features striking cover artwork by surrealist master Salvador Dali; Collector's Choice's 2000 reissue also includes three bonus tracks, ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $16.37!
5	The Romantic Moods of Jackie Gleason (1996) more music like this by Jackie Gleason This is a fine compilation of Jackie Gleason's output for Columbia. Gleason's objective was to make "musical wallpaper" that should never be intrusive, but rather conducive. He was not musically literate, but never had a problem articulating what he wanted to hear from his orchestra. The music here is quiet, melancholy, and often somber, played at ... see all copies from $14.84! new only from $22.81!
6	Dinah Washington's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Dinah Washington Verve continues their Finest Hour series with Dinah Washington's Finest Hour, an 18-song collection highlighting the entire range of her repertoire, from blues to jazz to pop. "Evil Gal Blues," "What a Diff'rence a Day Made," "West Side Baby," "Trouble in Mind," and "Blue Gardenia" make this set an entertaining, if not comprehensive, overview of ... see all copies from $3.29! new only from $9.61!
7	Wild Cool and Swingin' (1999) more music like this by Julie London Wild, Cool and Swingin' compiles 22 songs from several of the many albums she made for the Liberty label from 1957 though 1966. Most of the selections link London with obviously good but mostly unidentified studio players, as well as with excellently arranged material that is unencumbered, for the most part, by syrupy string ensemble playing. Her ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $10.79!
8	Greatest Hits [RCA Victor] (2000) more music like this by Lena Horne Lena Horne had three separate stays on RCA Victor Records: The first in the 1940s, the second lasting from the mid- '50s into the early '60s, and the third in the mid- '70s. During these stints, she scored only one hit single, "Love Me or Leave Me" in 1955 -- a recording not included on this compilation. In 1943, she appeared in the film Stormy ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
9	When I Fall in Love (2005) more music like this by Jeri Southern Although she didn't have jazz's strongest voice, Jeri Southern's careful, hushed, and unhurried phrasing gives the best of her sides a tremendous intimacy, making it easy to slip into Southern's world, where love forces every hand and nothing comes easy. Strong on moody ballads, Southern's limitations became obvious when she was forced to sing ... see all copies from $10.93! new only from $10.93!
10	No Reservations (1955) more music like this by Frances Faye Despite her Fifth Avenue looks, Frances Faye exploded the stereotype of the standards singer -- they type of vocalist apt to reverently croon a Cole Porter song as though she were a rector bowing her head while reciting from the Book of Common Prayer. Granted, No Reservations is indeed packed with Cafe Society standards, but Faye was a garrulous ... see all copies from $11.37! new only from $11.37!

12 view cover	Sings the Standards (2001) more music like this by Julie London While Rhino's Julie London roundup beats this one out for song selection, Sings the Standards still get kudos for its hefty 22 sides from the singer's prime. Mostly taken from London's '50s and '60s stretch in the spotlight, this import offers a sultry stroll through classic Tin Pan Alley terrain, from tailor-made numbers like "Diamonds Are a Girl ... see all copies from $14.82! new only from $14.82!
13 view cover	Blossom Time at Ronnie Scott's (1966) more music like this by Blossom Dearie From the audience's reaction, Blossom Dearie held London in the palm of her hand during her stand at Ronnie Scott's. They clapped and shouted and, sometimes, to the surprised joy of Dearie herself, sang along. The ten-track set, recorded with Dearie on piano and vocals with drummer Johnny Butts and bassist Jeff Clyne, alternates between comic ... see all copies from $10.06! new only from $10.06!

16 view cover	Ruban Bleu Years: Complete Recordings 1944-1949 (1998) more music like this by Maxine Sullivan All of Maxine Sullivan's recordings from 1944-1949 are on this single CD; she would only record two songs during the 1950-1954 period before making some full-length records in 1955. This reissue is more complete than the previous Tono recording that covered the same period, for it adds nine additional cuts. The previous 18 numbers find Sullivan in ... see all copies from $15.15! new only from $15.15!
17 view cover	The Fabulous Lena Horne (1997) more music like this by Lena Horne This British compilation chronicles the first decade of Lena Horne's recording career, from her start at age 18 with Noble Sissle and His Orchestra to the end of her 20s. Though it is subtitled "22 Hits," the disc contains only two actual hits, "Stormy Weather" and "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)," which were the only hits Horne ... see all copies from $22.94!
18 view cover	Stormy Weather [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Lena Horne "Stormy Weather," Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler's 1933 standard, was written for Cab Calloway, introduced by Arlen himself on a hit recording, and sung on-stage at the Cotton Club by Ethel Waters. But it became the signature song of a teenager who was in the club's chorus line in those days, Lena Horne, when she sang it a decade later in the movie ... see all copies from $7.26!
19 view cover	The Very Best of Easy Listening (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Thanks in small part to the movie Swingers, the '90s brought about a reexamination of the hyperstylized space-age modern lounge music that emanated from the stereo systems of swinging bachelor pads in the late '50s and the '60s. Kitschy pop culture movements aside, this three-disc set features several outstanding soft rock and easy listening ... see all copies from $24.01! new only from $24.01!

22 view cover	Noel Coward & Gertrude Lawrence (1993) more music like this by Noel Coward/Gertrude Lawrence The early part of the 20th century saw Noël Coward as the king of British musical theater/cabaret, with his cardboard arrangements and campy faux romantic lyrics charming many a crowd that needed a lighthearted laugh and pure entertainment. Coward wrote a slew of popular tunes that endured through the golden age of jazz and beyond. These 17 ... see all copies from $11.30! new only from $11.30!
