Sassy and sexy

"Teresa Brewer's brassy voice, both throaty and chesty, wraps itself around these songs with total confidence and energy. Her love of the music shines through. The samples are powerful proof. The bands are superb too."

TERESA BREWER'S BEST EVER

"When you think of Teresa Brewer and the songs she sang you think of 50's rock and roll. Not with this album! This album is jazz and r&b and Teresa Brewer's Best Ever. She sings as if she was born with Soul in her heart not rock and roll. This whole album is just beautiful and is definately her Best Ever!!!"
