The Original Sound Of Miss Music! Music! Music! – Teresa Brewer

Description

Here are Teresa’s long-lost initial recordings for London, including the original “Music! Music! Music!” taken at a much slower pace than you might remember. Her material, and the recording quality, on London doesn’t compare to her work on Coral, where the producers, orchestrators and engineers knew exactly how to best showcase her talents. But these recordings remain interesting, particularly the ballads, which reflect her abilities as a serious and thoughtful artist in a way all those novelties didn’t. The voice is darker and thicker here than it was later-usually it’s the other way around with lady singers, who tend to take on those shadings as they grow older. Teresa’s sound actually grew younger. But there’s a lot to enjoy here.
