Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Jo Stafford was another of those supremely talented popular singers who skirted the fringe of jazz for most of a very successful career. Yes Indeed!, concentrating as it does on her pre-50s recordings (1940-50, to be exact), focuses on an era when the rhythm of jazz and the harmonic and lyric language of the blues was hard to escape, a fact which suited Stafford's proclivities to a T. Like Crosby, Sinatra and just about every other star vocalist to emerge prior to World War II, Stafford came to prominence through an initial involvement in a vocal group: hers was the Pied Pipers, and it was attached to Tommy Dorsey's band. This was during the period that Sinatra was Dorsey's lead male vocalist, so the Pied Pipers were a fixture on the Dorsey-Sinatra records of that time. The Pipers left Dorsey soon after Frankie did, and Stafford went solo soon after that. Signing with Johnny Mercer's fledgling Capitol label in 1943, she launched a solo career that was soon the most successful of any female artist's in that decade. During World War II she became the No. 1 singing sweetheart for US forces overseas and her popularity was sustained right into the 1950s. By then she was married to pianist/arranger Paul Weston, with whom she made many memorable records. Stafford's greatest quality was her combination of a pure tone and perfect intonation. She was also blessed with a sense of rhythmic ease given to few singers in any generation while her general musicianship is second to none. The songs here are mostly deeply romantic and her unadorned interpretations allow the listener to make of them what they wish. This is first-rate popular music that improves with every listen, even if nostalgia (real or by proxy) may be many people's first reason to make its acquaintance. Don't be fooled by the wrapping: this music has a solid centre. --Keith Shadwick




Rating: - 1940's pop music at it's best
Jo was one of the best singers of her generation, and this box clearly demonstrates that. All the 20 tracks available on the American Capitol collectors series CD are included here, plus 79 other tracks, all mastered to the highest quality.

The set covers Jo's entire period with Capitol, so it starts with a few songs featuring Jo as lead singer of the Pied Pipers doing typical big band stuff, but the remaining tracks all feature Jo as solo singer, with an occasional duet. Besides including ... Read More
