Gale Garnett was born in New Zealand to an English father and a Russian mother, but they all moved to America when Gale was still a child. Gale initially trained to be an actress but switched to singing. She wrote some of her own material including the only song that most people remember her for, if they remember her at all - We'll sing in the sunshine.

I was aware of her famous song via several cover versions that I owned, long before I found a copy of Gale's version on&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Be-My-Baby-2/dp/B009IAN550/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Be My Baby 2</a>. I then noted that the available music of hers is very limited. At that time, I was hoping that her recorded music would come into the public domain within a few years, but the European copyright laws have been changed and I don't expect I'll be buying CD's when Gale's music is released under the new laws. If I'm still alive, I'll be in my late 80's and probably contenting myself with what I already have.

So I expect this 17-track album to remain the best CD available for the next 25 years or so. It contains all of the tracks from Gail's debut album, which includes the album version of We'll sing in the sunshine, plus five bons tracks including the hit version of We'll sing in the sunshine, which isn't very different from the album version.

The music here is fantastic, mixing Gail's own songs, traditional songs and songs by her contemporaries including Miriam Makeba. I'd like to hear a lot more of Gail's music but this at least gives us a glimpse into Gail#s music beyond her hit.
