"Our Gracie
Fields — the records tell why.
DANCING OR LISTENING
JO STAFFORD (Capitol)— No doubt about it, the new Jo Stafford is a great singer. Those Paul Weston backgrounds are excellent. Jo's versions of "The Best Things In Life Are Free" and "I Never Loved Ayone" are just wonderful.
GRACIE FIELDS (London) — Gracie shows us why she has always been "Our Gracie" to the people in England. She also shows why "Now Is The Hour" is England's biggest selling record. Backed by "Come Back To Sorrento."
DORIS DAY (Columbia)— The beautiful Doris lends charm to a silly ditty called "That's The Way He Does It." "Why Should We Both Be Lonely," on the reverse, is in perfectly good dance tempo.
TONY MARTIN (RCA Victor)— "My Sin" is a song that Tony has long featured on personal appearances. Here it is on wax, backed by "Forever Amber." You'll like his tenderness and warmth.
KATE SMITH (MGM)— Kate sings two old-timers as only Kate can sing. If you're one of her many fans, youll want either "It Had To Be You" or "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes."
TEX BENEKE (RCA Victor)— Both sides of this waxing have a decided sagebrush sentiment. "Lone Star Moon" sounds as though it might be Hit Parade material. "Gotta Get To Oklahoma City" is the reverse.
BUDDY CLARK-RAY NOBLE eColumbia)— Could be that this is more vocal than dance, but any way you pick it it's good music. Buddy and Ray make a delightful combination in French or Spanish in a pairing of "Two Loves Have I" and "Sierra Madre."
GORDON MacRAE (Capitol)— In a gypsy fashion, "At The Candlelight Cafe" is a ballad in a minor key that Gordon sings in major fashion. Backed by "I Surrender Dear," this is a fine pairing. Paul Weston's backgrounds are perfect for Gordon.

SPECIAL SPINS
ESY MORALES (Rainbow)— It's called a Bongo Rumba, but Esy Morales' waxing of "Jungle Fantasy" is fantastic. Noro Morales' brother plays a very weird flute on this disc. Actual jungle animal noises are part of the record.
PEARL BAILEY (Columbia) — All the innuendoes that the composer thought of, plus a few tossed in by Pearl herself, make this a most interesting record. It's "I Need Ya Like I Need A Hole In The Head" and "But What Are These?"
JUST JAZZ
NELLIE LUTCHER (Capitol)— The "real gone" Lutcher gal continues on her merry way to fame and fortune with a double-barreled load of raucous rhythm on "Do You Or Don't You Love Me" and "The Song Is Ended."
JACKIE PARIS TRIO (MGM)— Here's another "new" voice that bids fair to arouse much public interest. You've never heard "Skylark' sung the way Jackie does it. "Your Red Wagon" on the reverse is second only to the Ray McKinley rendition. Listen to this Jackie Paris threesome, you'll like it.
JULIA LEE (Capitol) — Either you like Julia's Kansas City style or you don't. You will, however, get many kicks from listening to the background supplied by such jazzmen as Red Norvo, Benny Carter, Vic Dickenson, Red Callendar and others.
* * * ALBUM ARTISTRY
GOOD NEWS (MGM)— Recorded directly from the sound track of the MGM Technicolor musical of the same name, this album contains four platters by such names as Joan McCracken, June AUyson, Peter La^vf ord and Pat Marshall. Most popular tunes in the group are "The Best Things In Life Are Free" and "Pass That Peace Pipe."
