Lu
Ann
Simms
During the fifties pretty Lu Ann Simms came to prominence in the very popular, highly-rated Arthur Godfrey Show on US television. During her time with the show she produced a number of best-selling singles. They are all presented here - from the waltz-time lament Moving Away to You Can't Measure My Love. Lu Ann had a clear, direct approach to a song, and whether she's singing country-and-western or a melancholy ballad she makes the song her own. For those who are unfamiliar with her many fine recordings, this CD will come as a welcome surprise - an introduction to a much neglected and underrated singer. All tracks have been digitally remastered.
