Original Vintage 1963 Mono Vinyl Record by singer Thelma Carpenter. On this early '60s LP, Carpenter sings standards by some of the great songwriters of the American Songbook. She is accompanied by a great jazz combo of Piano, Vibes, Guitars, and Rhythm, backing her with tasteful and effective accompaniment, befitting the mood of these wonderful standards.
Vocalist and performer, Thelma Carpenter, enjoyed a long and rich career, and might be the only American singer who can boast to have been backed up by both the Count Basie Orchestra and the Munchkins. Talent scout and record producer John Hammond picked up on her in 1939, when she would have been in her last year as a teenager. She was already performing and recording with classic jazz tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, with whom she would be closely associated. Work with several of Hammond's prize clients, Count Basie and Teddy Wilson, was soon to follow, and she began working regularly in both concert settings and on a series of popular 78 records, among them her recordings of "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" and "American Lullaby." Another of her popular recording collaborations was the mid-'40s "Hurry Home," featuring her with the Deep River Boys. She was also active in the film industry during the '40s, providing vocals for the music video precursors called "soundies" as well as dubbing songs for various actresses and even actors who were unable to sing in tune on their own when required to. Live performance work, such as New York's many cabarets, kept her busy through the '50s, although it was certainly the decline of the big band era, and many of her former employers were no longer keeping female vocalists on steadily. She performed in Several Broadway revues were in this period, such as Blackbirds of 1928 and Shuffle Along, both hitting the stage in 1953. These productions allowed her to collaborate with several legends of the black vaudeville era, Cab Calloway and pianist Eubie Blake.
