You probably heard PORTER tunes done by ELLA or SINATRA,and that's interesting.With ANITA ,the approach is more risquý but so rewarding in the end. ANITA is a singer who likes to takes chances,and on this 1959 session, she is matched with BILLY MAY,who was born to work with the often difficult O'DAY. What fun it is to hear them do relectures of the famous PORTER tunes,even if you know them by heart!So, you may like that album a lot if you are game , or hate it if you are not,it's just as simple as that.The lyrics to YOU'RE THE TOP are not the originals,but work just the same with YOU'RE THE BOP, SARAH and YARDBIRD among the word changes made to the song. One wonders though what PORTER thought of the liberties taken with his songs. This is ANITA O'DAY in full command and in her prime. A message to VERVE: will you please release the 1960 ANITA O'DAY swings RODGERS AND HART with BILLY MAY in north AMERICA?
