So Many Memories

Search: New Trick
by: Frances Langford

Release Date May 07, 2001
In America, Frances was an extremely popular singer-actress of the thirties and forties, although this is not reflected in the pop charts. Much of her popularity was gained via radio broadcasts, movies (usually in a supporting role - she was rarely cast in the starring role) and (later), visits to troops. She only had six hits, but was voted most popular female singer in 1938 despite not having a hit record that year.

So there were a lot of other singers who made more records, but Frances made up for that by the sheer quality of the records she did make. Mostly, Frances recorded ballads - this is what she enjoyed and what she did best, though she could pick up the tempo when required to good effect.

Then and Now [CASSETTE]

Search: New Trick
by: Margaret Whiting

Release Date February 10, 1993
What more could a Margaret Whiting fan want? Recording this album in 1990, when she was sixty-six years old, Whiting gives a contemporary new sound to some of her old standards, such as "Old Devil Moon," "It Might as Well Be Spring," and "That Old Black Magic." With Gerry Mulligan's baritone sax to compliment her lower register on several songs, especially on "Moonlight in Vermont," she experiments with new tempos and rhythms, and shows that while she may not have quite the range that she once did, that she is still a great song stylist who is still experimenting and having fun as a performer.

In "The Lies of Handsome Men" and "The Coffee Shoppe," much newer songs than her standards from the '40s and '50s, she really hits her stride, ... Read More:
