Format:Audio CD
Too little of Teresa Brewer's music has been made available on CD, but Teresa's fans can compensate by investing in the music of Alma Cogan, a British singer who emerged at around the same time as Teresa. Like Teresa, Alma was capable of singing many different types of song in a variety of genres, but is best remembered for her pop songs of the fifties, which included a number of novelty songs. If you're looking for a greatest hits collection, this is the Alma Cogan compilation to choose.
Alma's biggest hit, Dreamboat, went all the way to number one in the UK but nobody had a hit with it in America so perhaps somebody missed an opportunity because it is an excellent song.
The novelty songs include Twenty tiny fingers, Just couldn't resist her with her pocket transistor and Never do a tango with an Eskimo - all fun songs not to be to be taken too seriously and excellent in their own way. The only really silly song is In the middle of the house, about a house on land wanted for a railroad. It made the UK top 20 so had to be included here.
Alma never made any impact in America but that is no surprise since most of the songs she recorded in the fifties were covers of American songs, as was normal for British singers back then. Just some of the songs that Americans will recognize are covers of Bell bottom blues (Teresa Brewer), This ole house (Rosemary Clooney), Little things mean a lot (Kitty Kallen), Banjo's back in town (Teresa Brewer), I can't tell a waltz from a tango (Patti Page), Why do fools fall in love (Frankie Lymon), Story of my life (an early Bacharach-David song), Sugartime (McGuire sisters), Cheek to cheek (the Irving Berlin classic) and the standard When I fall in love.
Compared to Teresa Brewer, Alma Cogan has been well served by CD re-issues. This compilation, focusing mainly on the hits, does not do full justice to her talents but serves as a great introduction to her music.
