 Songbirds: Margaret Whiting
One of the pioneers of the LP songbook form, albeit in limited form in 1950, was Margaret Whiting with her Rodgers and Hart 10" LP tribute on Capitol.
This Whiting Sings Kern songbook (originally a 2-LP collection, now available on one CD) represents one of only four trips that she made to the recording studio throughout the 1960s.
That critical herring aside, what Whiting did have then, and continues to possess as she carries on into her sixth decade of performing, is a clear, contralto voice and an unmannered delivery that makes almost every song she sings a definitive version of what its composer had in mind.

Once one of the top jazz/pop songstresses of the 1940s and 1950s, mostly with the Capitol and Dot labels, she went several years without a new release until this one.
Whiting, as much as of any of her contemporaries, had a way of humanizing the material she sang.
This ability, added to a maturing, straight-down-the-middle style and clear-as-crystal voice, makes one wonder why she was prematurely put out to pasture.

As Perry Como and Frank Sinatra led the charge in the shift of pop music's focus from the big bands in the 1940's, female song stylist Margaret Whiting stepped in to become one of the World War II era's (and beyond) most popular female singers.
There's the duet with Johnny Mercer as they act out their seduction tableau, 1950's style, with "Baby, It's Cold Outside."Whiting was to become one of the better and more frequent interpreters of Mercer's lyrics, although, ironically, there isn't a Mercer composed song on this CD.
A Whiting favorite on this disk is her 1948 recording of "A Tree in the Meadow" released during the second American Federation of Musicians recordings ban.
