Music reviews of Got My Mind on Music [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED] 2CD SET

Music Review: A Major Collection By One Of The Great Female Vocalists of the Hollywood Musical
Rating: 5 Stars

Working in an era that favored sopranos, Alice Faye (1915-1998) relied on her dancing skills and eventually worked her way into the chorus of The George White Scandals--where she encountered radio star Rudy Vallee, who was so taken with her deep alto that he brought her to his popular radio show, where she quickly parlayed her sudden success into a contract with Fox Studios. By 1934 she was among the greatest stars of the Hollywood musical. She would retain her stardom until, disenchanted with Hollywood, she retired from the screen in 1945 in favor of a radio career. Faye made several television appearances, returned to the screen in 1961 for a remake of STATE FAIR, and appeared in a popular stage revival of GOOD NEWS--but on the whole she preferred the role of wife and mother and declined most professional work.

Although Fox--which later merged with 20th Century Films to become 20th Century Fox--had more than its share of musical stars, unlike such studios as MGM it seldom had its performers make "studio quality" versions of the songs they recorded for their films. Because of this, virtually every selection on the double disk ALICE FAYE: GOT MY MIND ON MUSIC is lifted directly from the soundtracks of the films in which Faye appeared--and in consequence the sound quality is not always what it could be. Even so, Alice Faye's vocals pop, transcending not only the limitations of the recordings but the musical style of the era in which she performed. This is an amazing voice, dark, velvety, unexpectedly sexy and sly, and surprising in its unstudied, almost throw-away quality. When Alice Faye introduced a song it had a way of becoming a hit; she would introduce no fewer than 23 songs that went on to become hits on the Hit Parade, and although this collection contains no fewer than 62 tracks it really on the scratches the surface of her work.

Fortunately, that "scratch" is a good one, for the collection includes many, many examples of Alice Faye at her best--and yes, the "signature" songs that were very distinctly her own: "You Can't Have Everything," "America I Love You," "Good Night My Love," "No Love, No Nothing," "Got My Mind On Music," and her best known recording, "You'll Never Know." Like many singers of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, Faye has been neglected in the transfer from vinyl to CD, so releases are few and far between and hit or miss in quality--but fans should probably make this their first stop. This is one of the great pop voices performing at top form. Strongly recommended.

Description of Got My Mind on Music [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED] 2CD SET

Blonde, cuddly, shapely, kind, she was not rated as one of the screen's great beauties. Detractors pointed to her forehead, saying it was rather high, that she had an upturned nose, her cheeks were prominent, almost plump and the chin was too long and jutted forward at an unflattering angle. She would often curl or twist her lip slightly whilst singing, which prompted a New York critic to write in 1938, "We've had close-ups of Miss Faye whose inability to speak or sing without throwing her mouth into trembles has begun to wear us down". However, about one feature there was no dissension - her vivid blue eyes, adorned with long velvet lashes that wafted like ostrich plumes in a gentle breeze. She could act, she could dance, and she photographed well. Most of all, she could sing. Darryl F. Zanuck, production boss at 20th Century-Fox Films declared, "No one can sell a song quite as well as Alice Faye", whilst the great Irving Berlin openly admitted: "I'd rather have Alice Faye introduce my songs than anyone else".
