The Swing Era lost one of its favorite vocalists when Helen Forrest passed away in 1999. But her legacy will live on with this specially priced Two-CD set containing ALL of the tracks she recorded for the World Transcription Service in the mid-50s. Having graduated from musical partnerships with swing masters like Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman and Dick Haymes, Forrests casually confident voice was at its peak as she laid down these rare, direct to disk performances. From sultry torch songs to bubbly pop to swinging raves, this set has it all. Complete with previously unreleased voice tracks of Helen introducing her favorite tunes, extensive liner notes and period photos.
