Music reviews of A Song in the Air: The Debut Recordings
Music Review: One Of My All-Time Favourite Musical Stars
Rating: 5 Stars
Having grown up during the 1940s and 1950s I saw most of the big Hollywood musicals to hit the screen, and among my favourite female stars was this little lady from Portland, Oregon where she was born Suzanne Burce in 1929.
And one of my all-time favourite Jane Powell moments was the duet with Fred Astaire in Royal Wedding when she kept pace with the master on How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You (When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life?).
That, of course, was a comedy number, and while it proved she could handle any type of song, she is best remembered for wonderful offerings like Summertime, Mighty Like A Rose, and Lover, Come Back To Me.
Just a beautifully rendered album featuring one of the greatest female voices of the 20th Century. It's just too bad that no one has ever seen fit to include her one hit single in any of the volumes, or to include it in a multi-artist compilation. That would be True Love from the 1956 musical High Society [where it was sung by Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly]. Jane's version, recorded for Verve, and backed by the Buddy Bregman orchestra, made it to a respectable # 15 Billboard Pop Top 100 that summer b/w the equally-marvelous Mind If I Make Love To You?
If you know and love Jane Powell's singing as I do you need no encouragement to buy this or any of the other CDs available. If, on the other hand, you have never actually heard her sing then get this and see what you've been missing. Guaranteed to be played over and over and over.
