John's record store in New York certainly has some great L/P's of singers that are out of the usual popular singers I for one have not heard of her but the voice is great pity she did not manage to get over her troubles !!..what a waste of talent
For several months she toured with Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey before returning to New York, where she sang in clubs with George Shearing, Don Elliott, and Kai Winding.From 1956–1960, Kenney recorded six albums, three for Royal Roost and three for Decca. Her first album, Beverly Kenney Sings for Johnny Smith (1956), was recorded with the quartet led by jazz guitarist Johnny Smith. She then began a residency at the Birdland jazz club accompanied by the Lester Young Quintet.
Kenney attempted suicide twice and then succeeded the third time with a combination of alcohol and Seconal on April 12, 1960.

This is quite a good concept with "Des" talking and introducing some of the songs..some of the tracks are made up of two or three songs so you are getting good value for your "Dosh" !!..and as I have said before I do like his voice !!.....so if you have not been tempted to download previous posts give it a go you might be surprised !!

Now then !!...if you like big Power Ballads that has the power ending notes ! then this could be the one for you... A great selection of songs sung by an English Singer from the 70's that should have been more successful than he was....He did have a minor hit in England and maybe other countries as well with "Love Is All"....no doubt I might be informed about that which I will welcome any comments about it !!....There are two tracks on this L/P that don't sound like him...I can only assume that they maybe old tracks that have been included to make up the track numbers....it's a good exercise in a way because it shows how much his voice has improved....and both of the tracks are Directed by a different person to the rest.....Anyway give it a listen and leave me a comment to say what tracks I am on about.....Just a little "Music Trivia" Game !!!!..........
This L/P came from Bob...I did have it but I lent it out to friends...it was requested for re-posting by Albert.. Bob saw the comment sooooooo here it is !!...Thanks Bob !!
