Sylvia SYMS – Songs of Love – Sylvia Syms Sings

Two original LPs on one JASMINE CD - 24 titles in total - over 1 hour playing time.

Full page reproduction inside booklet of each original LP front cover and original sleeve notes reproduced in full.

An overlooked quality singer from the American DECCA stable, this JASMINE reissue deservedly puts Sylvia Syms back into the catalogue. Featuring two albums from 1956 and 1957 respectively, she is summed up in one sleeve note thus: 'In these recordings Sylvia Syms displays the wide range of her repertoire as well as the scope of her vocal chords. The "Black Orchid," as she is often called, sings in a beautifully direct manner, scorning to use the conventional tricks. A jazz singer, she is also a performer who can sing ballads and show tunes with the same skill that she puts into her lusty jump songs.'
