NANCY WILSON +1955 HITS ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW JULY 8TH

NANCY WILSON....A touch of today / Today,tomorrow ,forever....CAPITOL/EMI
Tracks played....One note samba / Go away little boy / On Broadway / You've got
your troubles / No one else but you.

This is probably Nancy Wilson's most commercial outing in CD form. Essentially a Jazz and
soul singer, she recorded these albums in the late sixties because of a popular Chart entry with
"No one else but you". Much more popular in America than here...but then that's a matter
of taste. Her re-working of well-known hits of the time doesn't always work effectively but
she always sounds great. ****.

HITS OF 1955.
Cherry pink and apple blossom white..Perez Prado / Hearts of stone..Fontane sisters.
Finger of suspicion...Dickie Valentine / Tweedle Dee...Georgia Gibbs.
Cool water....Frankie Laine / The yellow rose of Texas...Mitch Miller.
Love is a many splendored thing...Four Aces. ALL MILLION SELLERS.

PLAYLIST.
Together wherever we go.....Peggy Lee.....OLE A LA LEE.*****.
Love me....Collin Raye....ALL I CAN BE.****.
As long as I'm singing...Matt Munro....THE COLLECTION.*****.
Treasure....Bruno Mars.....SINGLE.***.

Move it...Cliff Richard.....VARIOUS.****.
By the time I get to Pheonix....Glen Campbell......PLAYLIST.*****.
Walking back to happiness....Helen Shapiro.....PLAYLIST.****.

DORIS DAY...DAY BY DAY/DAY BY NIGHT.....Columbia/Sony BMG.

Tracks played.....

dated whereas Day by Night has a lusher string-filled sound. Both albums were orchestrated
