Title: Where Kathy Kirby fits in to the female vocalist "puzzle"
Product review: Kathy Kirby's music is so hard to find out about that I finally just had to buy a resold copy and give it a listen! No one selling the CD seems to have sound bytes available to preview and no one seems to carry it (to hear in a store's listening station)! I do love her reserved, but powerful style in this very ecclectic collection of songs. She fits in to the female vocal puzzle somewhere between Connie Francis and Teresa Brewer in my opinion. Not quite as "crying" as Connie but soulful. The arrangements that accompany her vocals are top-notch and she often does very amusing, delightful takes on standards. Examples: "Sweetest Sounds" with its zesty "Bobby Vinton" - like polka beat; "Love me Baby" (very Teresa Brewer delivery); also how peppy her version of the classic "Havah Nagilah" is so full of joy!
