Listener Reviews & Comments
I bought this CD mostly on a lark for a friend who thinks Stefanie Powers is the epitome of class and charm--both in her roles and in real life. I admire her as well, but I didn't know what to expect from her as a singer. I hadn't realized her dancing, singing background, until this. What a fabulous surprise! And I wonder why my local "Great American Songbook" radio station isn't giving this air-play! The pluses: Great music and lyrics, spectacular piano and bass, clarity of sound that puts the listener right next to the stage in an intimate nightclub, beautiful phrasing and perfect pitch--even in spots where others tend to slide up to a note. That aspect of her singing reminded me of the Sinatra approach--absolutely accurate on every note. "Ten Cents A Dance," while a great song and performed wonderfully, prevents the CD from being one that keeps the soft torch mood throughout; the CD liner notes didn't do justice to Ms. Powers in that the quotes from others tended to be somewhat offhand about her singing; there wasn't enough background material on the Ms. Powers, although I did like the details about the songs. Small quibbles that certainly don't effect the sound of the music. There are a number of cabaret-type singers recording now--many of them working like crazy to sound sultry. Ms. Powers doesn't sound sultry in that commercial sense--she sounds like a woman who has lived a passionate life without ever being sordid about it. The CD is a treat!
