EU-only release. One of the finest singers of her era, Georgia Gibbs mellifluous, Jazz-tinged voice provided a clear link to the Big Band era shed grown up in, long before she became an unlikely 50s Pop star. Indeed, she was already in her 30s when she registered her first hit, in 1950, with the much-covered If I Knew You Were Comin (Idve Baked A Cake), which made the U. S. Top 5. A highly versatile singer, Georgia became briefly notorious in the mid-50s for her unlikely covers of R&B hits by Lavern Baker (Tweedle Dee, Tra La La), Etta James (The Wallflower aka Dance with Me Henry), Louis Jordan (I?Want You To?Be My Baby), Cathy Ryan (24 Hours A?Day (365 A?Year), etc, although she also successfully covered Country & Western material?(Bonnie Lous Seven Lonely Days) and even Rock & Roll (Jerry Lee Lewis Great Balls Of Fire). Between 1950-58 she chalked up no less than twenty-eight U. S. hit records - including two U. S. #1s, Kiss Of Fire and Dance With Me Henry - all of which appear on this unique compilation.
