Here by request from my friend flyingfinger is this unre-released LP from singer Marge Dodson. FF recently discovered her singing, flipped for her voice, and requested this, her first album, made for Columbia in 1959.

| Marge in 1961 |
Although she made only three albums that I can trace, Dodson was well regarded in her day, and for good reason - she was quite a fine singer. There is little information available on her today, but I did ascertain that she continued singing in clubs into the 1970s.
On this LP of standards, she is accompanied by a good group led by obscure pianist Michael Colicchio. Dodson's husband Coleridge Perkinson takes over for Little Girl Blue.
The sound here is fairly good, although there is too much reverb on Dodson's vocal mike. My pressing has some vinyl noise in the background and some peak distortion on the singer's vocals on the first number, most of which I've been able to eliminate.
That is Marge looking glamorous on the cover.
