Description

In 1962, Ray Charles signed one of his favorite singers, Little Jimmy Scott, to his Tangerine label with the purpose of recording an album of ballads. He hired arrangers Gerald Wilson and Marty Paich and requested that they aim for the sound of classic Frank Sinatra. With Charles himself on piano, "Falling In Love Is Wonderful" is Scott's finest LP. He's in the best voice of his career, holding his tight vibrato perfectly for as long as needed and making either his high or low register sound like the only natural choice on every occasion. In one of the great tragedies of recorded music, his former boss, Herman Lubinsky of Savoy, claimed that he still held Scott's contract, and under threat of legal suit, the record was removed from the shelves less than a month after release. An ultra rare album in original monaural from the late lamented ballad singer.
