Rosemary Clooney's voice had a great tone and warmth to it much like Dinah Shore, Doris Day, Kitty Kallen, etc. I'll definitely be looking for more of her work. Thanks for posting the video. :)
Miguel Ferrer's mom, and Debby Boone's mother-in-law, too. Ms. Clooney is renowned in the Cincinnati, Ohio area, because she got her start on a radio station there, WLW - which is still in operation and has an interesting history of its own.
9:10 Record-ology, you and I are like kindred spirits in terms of having eclectic tastes in music across various eras and genres and we both have an appreciation for history and for how technology has evolved over the decades. We, and many record collectors, can still marvel at how a piece of vinyl with microscopic grooves made 50 or more years ago can still provide a wonderful musical experience where the recording quality offers life-like performances as if the vocal and/or instrumental artists are standing in front of us in our living rooms. That's still pretty amazing. :)
I really enjoy your videos, and one reason is because, unlike a lot of record guys, you don't do deep dives into acid rock, hip-hop or prog groups I couldn't care less about. We share similar tastes in music (I have thousands of LPs, CDs and 45s in all genres, and co-wrote the book "Hollywood Hi-Fi," about bizarre celebrity recordings), and my wife is retro jazz recording artist Laura Ainsworth, whose big influences are people like Rosemary Clooney, Ella Fitzgerald, Julie London, Peggy Lee, Keely Smith and Jo Stafford. Her late dad was a musical prodigy who dropped out of school at 17 to play sax and clarinet for Tommy Dorsey and went on to play for Tex Beneke, Ray McKinley, Freddy Martin and other great big bands and showroom orchestras. So I wish you didn't have to explain to people who Rosemary Clooney was, but I'm awfully glad someone is doing it. Keep it up!
I have a Christmas children's record with a lot of the people of the 40's and 50's With Rosemary Clooney and Captain Kangaroo. in that time period the only people recording records where highly polished professionals who spent countless hours perfecting their craft before they even go a chance to record a record. Collecting music that you can only get on vinyl is one a great reason why people collect it in the first place. We have a final vinyl segment on our local radio station. Even if I don't like what they are playing on a particular day I don't mind. it is interesting being exposed to things that you would normally not hear. Most people today just are not allowed to put that kind of effort when they create music.
9:12 One of the advantages I've found with being an eclectic record collector is I nearly always find at least a couple of records during a thrift store dig that appeal to me either musically or based on the cool cover artwork and it's amusing seeing other hardcore collectors that are only looking for one particular artist or band or genre and they more often than not leave the record area empty-handed. It's waaaaaay more fun to have diverse interests and tastes. :)
The obvious question is did you clean the record before you played it? But of course, once a record is damaged, it’s damaged. No amount of cleaning will remove record damage. Vinyl collecting is in its very core a personal hobby. I’ve always said that a record collection can speak volumes not only a person’s musical taste, but it’s a document of a part of someone’s life. In my case, I started collecting records when I was 11 years old. This is why I have records by such artists as the Archies (trivia: did you know that the Archies, a pure cartoon group, beat out The Rolling Stones for the #1 record in 1969? It’s true!!!) and the Partridge Family (I STILL listen to my PF albums from time to time, I’m not ashamed to say-it’s good early 70s pop). These records are right next to records by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Three Dog Night, to name a few. But all of these mark times of my life, each one showing a passage. I for one learned appreciation for thrift store records from you and others. If someone can’t (or won’t) see that, then I consider it their personal problem. I then give no more thought or consideration to them. You shouldn’t either. So on to tomorrow’s video..... .
Love those vintage records you play I have finally uploaded a video of my Technics SL-1100a I am playing classical on it i also show the Hudson HI-FI arm leveling tool in it that you sent me last year which I am grateful for it watch?v=l5K_Zy3Frm4

Yes indeed!

I think it's the same copy I saw once in a New York record shop about 25 years ago.

Thank you! I appreciate that! Yes this was cleaned - I should have mentioned that its just got a ton of surface damage.
I have a fantastic album that she did with Bing, but unfortunately it is really warped. I also have a couple of her 78's. Take care...
is there anything about who arranged and conducted this?
Good question - no there is not!
I learned from a price guide this record is now currently worth 125 dollars!
Never heard of her sadly.perhaps she didnt make music for the uk.like her sound though.similar loosely to julie Andrews kind of sound (sound of music)
