But this wonderful voice has not been heard nearly enough. Although her career began auspiciously in the early 1960s with a recording contract for Columbia records, her recordings since then have been few and far between. This collection of some of the usual and less common standards shows Bobbe's voice has lost little of its richness and warmth. It also features on piano her frequent accompanist Larry Dunlap, who also happens to be her husband. She caresses a lyric, effectively employs a lush vibrato and keeps an underlying sense of swing, which allows her to make seamless tempo transitions, as on the title cut.
Ballads done at slow tempo, however, tend to predominate the proceedings a bit too much.
It's too bad they didn't include another song from their act in a similar vein. It's wonderful to hear Bobbe Norris on record again. I hope we can all look forward to hearing more from her and Larry soon. All rights reserved. May not be reprinted or reproduced in any form without permission.
