The record
A late-fifties RCA Victor date that shows off Della Reese's gospel-trained pipes stretching into pop and jazz phrasing, cut the same era she was crossing over from the chitlin circuit to television and supper clubs. Torchy, confident, and built for a singer who could belt or croon with equal ease.
