Notes
Jo Stafford must be one of the most loved and prolific American singers of the 1940s and fifties. Originally a member of Tommy Dorsey's Pied Pipers singing group she graduated to solo artist with numerous hits. During World War II she made a series of V-disc recordings which were shipped to servicemen in all over the world which helped her to become "G.I. Jo", the soldiers "girl next door". The "live" recordings on this compact disc were made with Lloyd Shafer And His Orchestra, Carl Kress And His Orchestra, Helen Carroll And the Satisfiers, Benny Goodman, Mel Powell and Cozy Cole form a trio and there are contributions from Bob Eberly and Xavier Cugat at the Supper Club during February, March and April 1946 for the Armed Forces Radio service.
