1	Sings the Cole Porter Song Book (1956) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald A striking two-CD set featuring arguably history's finest jazz singer singing some of the best-written American pop standards on one of jazz's most prolific labels. Ella Fitzgerald shines as the perfect interpreter of Cole Porter's bittersweet love songs on these 35 tracks from the Verve archives. Recorded and released on LP in 1956, Ella is ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $26.65!
2	Industry Standard (1982) more music like this by The Dixie Dregs Although they dropped the "Dixie" from their name in 1981, Industry Standard is still basically what one would expect from the Dixie Dregs. It also proved to be the band's last album before they disbanded, with fans having to wait ten years for a reunion and a new record. This incarnation of the band is actually the strongest one musician-wise, ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.29!
3	Best of the Capitol Years (2002) more music like this by Les Brown & His Band of Renown By the time that Les Brown signed with Capitol Records in the mid-'50s he had already become an internationally acclaimed clarinet and sax player as well as bandleader for nearly two decades. This single CD compilation gathers over two dozen tracks cut during the brief three-year stint (1955-1958) that Brown and his Band of Renown spent recording ... see all copies from $5.28! new only from $10.14!
4	Collection [Import] (1998) more music like this by Cleo Laine see all copies from $6.14! new only from $6.14!
5	Kiri Sings Porter (1994) more music like this by Kiri Te Kanawa see all copies from $6.95! new only from $8.00!
6	Live at Slim's, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Joe Louis Walker Walker was hot enough over the course of a two-day stand at Slim's in San Francisco to warrant the issue of two full albums from the dates. The first is a sizzling combination of past triumphs, new items, and covers of Clifton Chenier's "Hot Tamale Baby," Junior Wells' "Little By Little" (with Huey Lewis, no less, on harp), and a saucy duet with ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $10.34!
7	You Never Know [2001 Studio Cast] (2001) more music like this by 2001 Studio Cast Cole Porter called You Never Know his worst show, and he had reason. Not only was his work on it interrupted by the riding accident that crippled him for life, but he was basically a hired gun on a production also including songs by others that was being transmogrified from a European chamber musical into a lavish Broadway show. When it finally ... see all copies from $15.50! new only from $15.50!
8	Live (2006) more music like this by Blue Magic/Major Harris/Margie Joseph Lovers of classic Philly soul had reason to celebrate in 2006, when Collectables Records reissued Blue Magic's first three studio albums (Blue Magic, The Magic of the Blue, and 13 Blue Magic Lane) and this live recording on CD. Recorded in 1975 at Cherry Hill, NJ's Latin Casino, this two-CD set (originally a double LP) finds Blue Magic sharing the ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
9	Songs by Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart: The 1953 Walden Sessions (2001) more music like this by Louise Carlyle & Bob Haver see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
10	Ultra-Lounge: Cocktails With Cole Porter (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The Ultra Lounge series returns with Cocktails With Cole Porter, a collection of '50s and '60s renditions of songs Porter wrote in the '20s and '30s. For the most part, these songs made the transition into lounge territory intact; Nat King Cole's "Just One of Those Things," Ella Fitzgerald's "It's De-Lovely," Julie London's "My Heart Belongs to ... see all copies from $11.31! new only from $11.31!
11 view cover	When the Wind Was Cool (1997) more music like this by Dominique Eade Dominique Eade interprets 13 songs from the 1950s on this CD, most of which had been recorded previously by Chris Connor and June Christy. Eade's voice captures the essence of those cool-toned singers, yet she also sounds fairly distinctive. The instrumentation varies from cut to cut with such players as tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, bass ... see all copies from $29.26!
12 view cover	The Essential Benny Goodman [Bluebird/Legacy] (2007) more music like this by Benny Goodman One of at least seven entirely different compilations that brandish the word "Essential" in their titles, this double-disc anthology of 40 classic swing performances actually does convey the essence of Benny Goodman, and is therefore highly recommended. The recordings, most of them cut in the Victor and Columbia studios between 1934 and 1945, are ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
13 view cover	Something to Live For (1999) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Ella Fitzgerald recorded so much, and so much of what she recorded was so good, that the notion of one album summing her up is all but ludicrous. That said, this two-disc set, a companion to a television documentary by the same title, comes the closest of any album so far. It is the first album to span the two most important eras of her recordings ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $26.16!
14 view cover	Sunrise Serenade [Living Era] (2002) more music like this by Frankie Carle and His Orchestra Francis Nunzio Carlone, professionally known as Frankie Carle (1903-2001), was a popular pianist whose sweet dance band rose to prominence during the 1940s, followed by a second wave of popularity in the easy listening market throughout the 1950s. Just months after his passing, Living Era assembled a splendid tribute to this accomplished ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.83!
15 view cover	Soma Records Story (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $51.20!
16 view cover	Ridin' High (1992) more music like this by Robert Palmer see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.37!
17 view cover	22 Original Big Band Recordings (1957) (1957) more music like this by Les Brown & His Orchestra The 1957 Les Brown Orchestra is featured on this Hindsight CD which is comprised of concise (all but one of the 22 numbers are under three minutes) radio transcriptions. Brown always had a first-class dance band but none of the soloists are particularly distinctive. Best is singer Jo Ann Greer who always had a pleasing style, but this set is not ... see all copies from $8.97! new only from $8.97!
18	Cleo Laine Live!!! At Carnegie Hall (1973) more music like this by Cleo Laine see all copies from $9.49!
19 view cover	Rewind! 2 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.97! new only from $11.69!
20 view cover	Rez E-Rekt'ed 2 Rein (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
21 view cover	Good and Plenty (1978) more music like this by Jon Faddis Dizzy Gillespie's protégé, trumpeter Jon Faddis has produced some memorable jazz over the years in his own right. 1978's Good and Plenty is mostly lite jazz with synthesizers, new age guitars, and disco. Al Campbell, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.83!
22 view cover	One by One/Ridin' High (1998) more music like this by The Impressions A two-for-one combination of two mid-1960s LPs on one compact disc. One by One is a misstep that was not uncommon among soul stars in the '60s: the record is dedicated almost entirely to standards such as "Twilight Time," "I Wanna Be Around," "Nature Boy," and "Mona Lisa." The strategy was to widen their appeal to a more adult pop audience, but ... see all copies from $25.29! new only from $25.29!
23 view cover	Move Over Darling (1997) more music like this by Doris Day Doris Day was not only among the most prodigiously talented singers of the 20th century, but among the most resilient -- that's the only way to explain the worth of this eight-CD set, which encompasses Day's output 20 years after her initial breakthrough to pop stardom. She was obviously no longer on the cutting edge of music in 1960, the year ... see all copies from $16.62! new only from $195.15!
24 view cover	12" Collection & More (1999) more music like this by Parliament Don't mistake 12" Collection & More for a best-of collection. It features a few of Parliament's best moments, such as "Flashlight" and "Up for the Down Stroke," but it also includes songs such as "Ridin' High-Parlet" and "Oh I," which weren't technically even Parliament songs. This is more of a grab-bag collection; some of it is the group's best ... see all copies from $6.66! new only from $6.66!
25 view cover	A Great American Songwriter, Vol. 2 (2007) more music like this by Cole Porter see all copies from $2.73! new only from $9.71!
