Keely Smith

Real Gone Music is partnering with Keely Records to reissue the chanteuse's Reprise oeuvre on CD.  The rollout begins with 1964's The Intimate Keely Smith, her second Reprise-era album (and the album which some consider to be her best).  Produced by Keely's future husband Jimmy Bowen, the LP is a representation of a part of her concert act and finds her singing such standards as "It Had To Be You" and "Somebody Loves Me."  Two bonus tracks are added:  a duet with Frank Sinatra on "Twin Soliloquies" from a Reprise studio recording of South Pacific and the non-LP "No One Ever Tells You," a Goffin/King/Spector song.
