Girl You Swing!

Girl You Swing!

It always seemed that women have led the way when it came to Swing. For every Crosby and Sinatra, there was not only an Ella

or a Billie, but also a Sarah and a Peggy. For each Mel Tormé or Tony Bennett, there was a Lena , an Aretha, a Nina or a Dinah.

When women became band singers during the Swing era, they frequently outlasted their employers in terms of celebrity and

record sales. There are many remarkable examples of female vocal art on this compilation, some by those who have achieved

superstar status. So many stories, so many brilliant performances. What a way to swing!
