The third and final Chris Connor recording for Bethlehem, this 1955 release is considered one of her best and was recorded as her star was rising high, with a spectacular studio band consisting of Herbie Mann on flute, J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding on trombones, Ralph Sharon on piano, guitarist Joe Puma, bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Osie Johnson.

During 1953-1955, singer Chris Connor recorded regularly for Bethlehem. This reissue LP has her final recordings for the label (before moving up to Atlantic) with such fine sidemen as Herbie Mann (doubling on flute and tenor), pianist Ralph Sharon, guitarist Joe Puma, bassist Milt Hinton, and drummer Osie Johnson. The two-trombone team of J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding (which had recently become very popular) is prominent on four of the ten selections. Connor's cool tone, subtle, emotional delivery and haunting voice were perfect for the music of the 1950s. Highlights of this superior set include "The Thrill Is Gone," "Blame It on My Youth," and "I Concentrate on You," but all ten numbers are rewarding.
