Jo Stafford

Jo Stafford's It Had To Be You: Lost Radio Recordings features 24 performances from the legendary vocalist's stint as co-host (with crooner Tony Martin) of The Carnation Contented Hour on CBS Radio from 1950-1951.  With songs by mainstays of the Great American Songbook like Harold Arlen ("I've Got the World on a String"), Rodgers and Hart ("Little Girl Blue"), Irving Berlin ("It's a Lovely Day Today") and Cole Porter ("In The Still of the Night" and others) as well as several songs never otherwise recorded by Stafford such as "Dream a Little Dream of Me," this collection has been remastered from tape sources (not transcription discs) by Mike Milchner, and features liner notes from our very own Joe Marchese.
