Music reviews of Satins & Spurs

Music Review: Betty Hutton tune-fest!
Rating: 4 Stars

Betty Hutton played the leading role in the musical SATINS AND SPURS, televised live by NBC in 1954, with a score by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. There's only a slight 8 songs featured in this musical, so the rest of the CD is padded out by a whopping 17 songs from Hutton's recording days with Capitol.

Hutton sings an array of songs including the hilarious "Hamlet" as well as "Blue Skies", "It Had to Be You", "I Wish I Didn't Love You So" and "Rumble, Rumble, Rumble", both from THE PERILS OF PAULINE; "Poppa, Don't Preach to Me" and "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief".

Betty Hutton had an erratic career. She's still best-known for her Hollywood films, including the leading roles in THE PERILS OF PAULINE and ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, though she also cleverly played twin sisters in the delightful Bing Crosby musical HERE COME THE WAVES. She had a featured role in Cecile B. DeMille's THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH before sliding into obscurity. In the 1960s she was lured back to Broadway to replace an injured Carol Burnett in the disastrous FADE OUT-FADE IN, before yet another slide into anominity. In the early 80's she made yet another comeback, when she made a stint as Miss Hannigan in Broadway's ANNIE. A couple of years back, Miss Hutton gave an exhilarating interview for Turner Classic Movies.

This lovely new reissue from DRG is a must-own for all Betty Hutton and Broadway collectors.
