"On a swingin lounge collection, I first heard a cut and went absolutely nuts for it... and it turned out.. it was "Gentleman Friend" as performed by Carole Simpson. I was then lucky enough to find her one and only album, ALL ABOUT CAROLE, and have adored it ever since. Her timbre and phrasing are the epitome of smooth and sultry and... the arrangements seem perfect for her since... like some of the other greats (Blossom Dearie, Diana Krall) she sings AND plays the piano at the same time! About the only thing wrong with this amazing album is it's length.. it's way too short... i could listen to Carole croon all night and day!"
