Most listeners know of Keely Smith as Louis Prima's deadpan partner in crime on such Prima Vegas workouts as "Just a Gigolo" and "Jump, Jive & Wail." But Keely proved to have an appealing style all her own aside from the Prima show. Basically an unpretentious belter, she consistently demonstrated a winning, stick-to-the-melody approach to singing that was surprisingly musical. Currently, the only Keely Smith available on Capitol is this welcome entry in that label's SPOTLIGHT ON... series. This lack of available recorded material is indeed a shame, because sessions like these, with Nelson Riddle and Billy May, helped produce some of the best vocal albums of the '50s. The hits "I Wish You Love" and "It's Magic" are included here but it is Smith's exhilarating takes on "When Your Lover Has Gone" and "Don't Take Your Love From Me" that unleash her power as a vocalist.

KEELY SINGS SINATRA was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
Ol' Blue Eyes is always ripe for a top-notch, big-band-flavored tribute, but how many who take on the daunting task knew him as well as his contemporary, whom Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. once dubbed "the female Sinatra"? And in case you don't know the history, Frank Sinatra Jr.'s liner notes and numerous archival photos of Smith with Sinatra fill you in. Smith recorded this prior to the legend's passing in 1998 and even had his thumbs up on the project, but held back its release so as not to appear ...

Perhaps Collectables Records should not get their hopes up on receiving "Truth in Advertising" awards for this two-disc Roy Orbison collection; a handy double set which compiled Orbison's classic Monument sides along with highlights from his releases for Sun, M-G-M, and Virgin would be a more than welcome addition to his catalog, but despite the title that's not what 50 All Time Greatest Hits has on board. This set features a whopping 47 tunes from Orbison's Monument years, ...
