Yvonne

It took me a little while to get this up for you, but as promised, here is Yvonne De Carlo Sings (Masterseal 33-1869/1870, 1957), Orchestra Conducted By John Towner. I found the record the same night I mentioned it, but it took me these few days to get it recorded and scanned in. Hopefully you'll think the wait was worth it. Yvonne seems to be a competent singer, and she certainly doesn't veer towards the Golden Throats category. She sort of reminds me of Julie London a little bit, but she's not as good, in my humble opinion. I wonder if this wasn't originally intended to be a theme album about the blues, since five of the ten tracks have the word 'blue' in the title (and a sixth is Mood Indigo). I have to admit that my entire experience with Yvonne De Carlo was through The Munsters. I don't think I ever saw her in any of those movies they're showing clips of on TV now. And I'm pretty sure I never played this LP prior to her death. I can remember finding it, though, over ten years ago at a giant rummage sale held by some ladies auxiliary or something at The Lakeland Center. I don't know why I never played it... Don't make that same mistake. Download it and give it a spin! Rest in peace, Ms. De Carlo.

Now, who has a copy of her 45 on Capitol with Nelson Riddle???
