FIFTIES GIRLS

VA - Fifties Girls [2013] (3 x CD's)

This 75-track compilation brings together an eclectic mix of female performers. This is predominantly an American compilation with some British recordings mixed in but still much of the music will be familiar. Who could forget Petula Clark and The Little Shoemaker. Diana Dors appears on 2 tracks...The earliest recordings of Dors were two sides of a 78-rpm single released on HMV Records in 1951. The tracks were "I Feel So Mmmm" and "A Kiss and a Cuddle (and a Few Kinds Words from You)" both included here.

Could the Fifties be the decade that played host to the finest of modern music s female contingent? With names such as Etta James, Brenda Lee, Patsy Cline, Connie Francis, Shirley Bassey and Eartha Kitt among its ranks it's certainly close. You make that judgement for yourself as you listen to the very best of the Fifties girls on this 3 x CD set.
