From AMG Reviews

Susannah McCorkle's first album, which finds her in 1976 sounding quite pleased to be recording, features the talented singer interpreting 17 of Harry Warren's best songs, many sporting lyrics by Al Dubin. McCorkle's voice is instantly recognizable, and her ability to bring out the beauty in lyrics was already quite impressive. This English session was first released domestically by Inner City in 1981; at the time, McCorkle recorded two additional songs ("Forty Second Street" and "Chatanooga Choo Choo"). Providing some jazz flavor are pianist Keith Ingham, Bruce Turner on alto and clarinet, bassist Len Skeat and drummer Johnny Richardson. As with McCorkle's other early releases (including the four she cut for the defunct Inner City label), this one is long overdue to be reissued on CD.
