I'm in the Mood for Love (1989) more music like this

by Shirley Bassey

A mid-priced compilation of Bassey's work from 1961 through 1971, but most concentrated on her early-'60s material. She sings "No Regrets" as though she's writing the song herself as she goes along, wrapping herself around every syllable the way an opera singer might, and throws herself into "Moon River," "I Wish You Love," and most of the rest ...

Sonny Rollins was easily in the top of his class of up-and-comers in 1949 when he made his recording debut with Babs Gonzales. Already showcasing his muscular tone and fluid lines, Rollins would develop into one of the most ...
