Though not totally regraded as her best work after the monumental “Cry Me A River” from her debut album “Julie Is Her Name” in 1955 -her “Our Fair Lady” LP from 1965 -still holds up.

The arrangements are fuller with orchestral strings and as a result her vocals are less intimate in comparison to her 1955 debut- where she was backed up by just a superb jazz duo - Barney Kessel on guitar and Ray Leatherwood on bass.

Some of the tracks on “Our Fair Lady” had already been issued on previous albums - but there were a handful of new songs.

Mostly covering the great songs and songwriters of the day “Wives and Lovers” (David & Bacharach) and various Mancini and Mercer classics - its still a great album and highlights her ability to interpret different styles including the classic 60’s easy listening pop of “Never On Sunday”.

At times her delivery is slightly stilted as if she is out of her comfort zone - but overall a lovely relaxing album that is well executed in my opinion- as she was transitioning to a more later period lounge style.
