Singer
Dakota Staton's first full-length album was one of her best. She had a hit with "The Late, Late Show" and performed memorable versions of "Broadway," "A Foggy Day," "What Do You See in Her," "My Funny Valentine" and "Mooney." Backed by a largely unidentified orchestra arranged by
Van Alexander (with
Hank Jones on piano),
Staton sounds both youthful and mature, displaying a highly appealing voice on a near-classic set.
