Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One for the fansI would buy this CD if you want the EXACT recordings of Betty singing her songs straight from the film soundtracks (a lot of people prefer the film versions.) As it says on the back it is a mono recording so the sound quality is not going to be the best in places. I bought it as I wanted to hear her songs from "Lets Dance" with Fred Astaire that I couldn't find on any other release. Rating:  - Mediocre Sound Quality But Memorable Vocals From The Underestimated Musical BombshellShe was originally promoted as "America's Number One Jitterbug." Bob Hope called her a "Vitamin pill with legs." In Hollywood she was the "Blonde Bombshell," a bright, brassy woman who played her attractive alto more for laughs than art. The daughter of a grass widow who ran a series of low-rent speakeasies, Betty Hutton (1921-2007) hit the New York stage in 1938. By 1940 she was en route to stage stardom when an irate Ethel Merman derailed what should have been a career-making role in the Cole Porter show PANAMA HATTIE. Annoyed by the Merman fracas, show producer Buddy DeSylva decided to make up for it by taking Hutton to Hollywood, where she made an instant hit in her first film, the 1942 THE FLEET'S IN.

I bot this CD along with ALL of her others after seeing a special interview of her on Turner Classics followed by some of her amazing movies! She is a POWERhouse to say the least AND she is the MOST romantic, tender ballad singer I have EVER heard. She delivers such subtlety it is exquisite!! I was so inspired by a couple of the songs that I have learned them and performed them!! ENJOY!! Rating:  - Betty's a bombshell...this cd....well is a miss....For Betty Hutton fans, its a bust. The sound quality is off. The charm of Miss Hutton's personality does not come through on this disc nor are the better versions, i.e. studio recordings of some of the songs used. It's sad but I am not sure that there are any "great" Betty Hutton recordings out there, however I know this disc could have been better. The Betty Hutton cd release from Capital is MUCH MUCH Better...."Spotlight On Betty Hutton". If you are looking for Betty Hutton, then look no further than that because there is none better! |
