Now, we at Real Gone Music have a very special treat for fans of this superb, yet to some degree overlooked, vocalist: a treasure trove of 24 radio performances taken from The Carnation Contented Hour, which Jo cohosted on the Columbia Broadcasting System. These previously unreleased 1950-1951 recordings come to us from the Tony Martin estate courtesy of Michael Feinstein and with the blessing of Jo's son Tim Weston, and are taken from original master tapes, not transcription discs; remastered by Mike Milchner at SonicVision, these are studio quality sessions and thus a major, major find in the Jo Stafford discography. It is such a treat to hear Jo interpret songs like \"Dream a Little Dream of Me,\" \"Ain't Misbehavin'\" and \"I've Got the World on a String\" that became big hits for other artists; Joe Marchese's notes put it all in context along with rare photographs from that golden era.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Had to Be You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNevertheless (I?M in Love with You)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin?T Misbehavin?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI?Ll Get By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Girl Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt?S a Lovely Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Love Me Just As I Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet?S Talk It Over, Dear 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeardrops from My Eyes 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Love the Guy 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrange Colored Sky 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrink to Me Only with Thine Eyes 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt?S a Marshmallow World 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen My Sugar Walks Down the Street 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRow, Row, Row 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere Oh Where 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Still of the Night 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse Your Imagination 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Old Man of the Mountain 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI?Ve Got the World on a String 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDixieland Band 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDream a Little Dream of Me 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey Can?T Take That Away from Me (With Tony Martin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"503","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50569212199208,"sku":"84806400621","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3667931.jpg?v=1763988407","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/stafford-jo-it-had-to-be-you-l-lp-4806400621","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
