Rosemary Clooney - All The Hits And More

Stock Status: In Stock

Rosemary Clooney, well-known in recent years as the aunt of movie star George Clooney, was one of the most popular and successful pop singers of the immediate post-war decades, racking up a remarkable string of hits in the early ’50s. She called herself “a sweet singer with a big band sensibility”, which was a fair enough description, as her musical preferences were often compromised by the novelty material she was sometimes obliged to record. Born in Maysville, Kentucky, Rosemary and her sister Betty became entertainers.

In 1945, the Clooney sisters won a spot on Cincinnati’s radio station WLW as singers. Rosemary and Betty sang in a duo for much of Rosemary’s early career. She signed with Columbia and cut her first record with Tony Pastor’s big band in 1947,  I’m Sorry I Didn't Say Sorry b/w The Lady From Twenty-Nine Palms.

This 3CD set comprises selected A&B sides from her releases on Columbia and RCA during this era, beginning with singles recorded with her sister and Tony Pastor. It features her four hits with Tony Pastor plus all her 30 and more career hits in the pop chart, including her No.1s with Come On-a My House, Half As Much, Hey There, This Ole House and Mambo Italiano. Also included are Clooney’s  recordings with Frank Sinatra, Guy Mitchell, Gene Autry, Jose Ferrer, Jimmy Boyd, Harry James, Benny Goodman, Percy Faith, Perez Prado and others.

It’s a thoroughly entertaining 78-track overview of her brilliant chart career, which captures the mood of the era between 1948 and 1961, and a fine showcase for her skill and versatility as an interpreter of popular song.
