Description

When these recordings were made, Mildred Bailey was suffering from diabetes and was unable to appear regularly. Fortunately, the producers of the Army's V-Disc label remembered her and issued quite a few recordings, with all of her musical quality intact! Volume eight of Bailey's recordings presented in chronological order includes all V-Discs that were issued under her name. The opening set is particularly stunning, backed by Teddy Wilson only. Also includes tracks backed by Paul Baron's large CBS-band. Features the songs Rockin' Chair, Sunday, Monday Or Always, Scrap Your Fat, More Than You Know, Squeeze Me, Someday Sweetheart, Downhearted Blues, Hold On, Keep Your Hand On The Plow, Summertime and others.
