- Kitty White was an acclaimed vocalist who sang jazz, blues, gospel, and spiritual. She made numerous critically-acclaimed albums for such labels as Mercury, EmArcy, Roulette, and World Pacific, and also sang on several movie soundtracks, most notably in "King Creole" with Elvis Presley.
- Gathered here for the first time are her many singles, which have never been heard since their original release in the 1950s.
- Among them are her chart hit "A Teenage Prayer", "Paradise", "Cy Me a River", "Winoweh", and "I'm Gonna Be a Fool Next Monday", plus her soundtrack performance of "Return to Paradise". Added as a rare bonus track is an unreleased demo of "I Saw a Robin Today", set to a poem by Ginger Rogers' mother Lela.
