Anita O'Day and Billy May - Swing Rogers and Hart (1960)

Anita O`Day and Billy May - Swing Rodgers and Hart , 1960

  I grew up in a household that played a lot of swing music........lots of Billy May and Frank Sinatra......and lots of Billy May ...and did I mention lots of Billy May  
   This gem from 1960 finds an admittedly ``high on pot`` Anita O`Day crooning to the huge orchestral wall of sound of Billy May and his orchestra.  All of the music on this album plays an ode to Rogers and Hart who wrote some lovely songs over the years.......
   Anita O`Day had a great voice and did some pretty cool interpretations of these songs,,,,,very original and very creative.   This is a great album as well for the space-age crowd with some pretty hopppy ditties in there to keep your toes a twitchin` and your feet and movin`.
