{"product_id":"helen-forrest-hits-collection-1938-46-cd","title":"Helen Forrest - Hits Collection 1938-46 (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlong with the likes of Kitty Kallen, Helen O'Connell and June Christy, as well as, in their early careers, Peggy Lee and Doris Day, Helen Forrest was one of the striking coterie of female vocalists who graced the dance hall stages with the great names of the swing and big band era, and who appeared on many of their most successful recordings before forging a successful solo career. During the decade from the late 1930s through to the post-war years, Helen Forrest performed and recorded with the orchestras of Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman and Harry James, and recorded notable duets with another former big band singer Dick Haymes, racking up a lengthy string of hits on records with those orchestras on which she provided the vocals. This great-value 48-track 2-CD set consists entirely of such records, all of which featured in charts like the Your Hit Parade chart in the years before the Billboard record sales chart was introduced in 1940, or in one or other version of the Billboard charts after that, all of them reaching the Top 25 places. Alongside those \"featured vocalist\" and duet hits, pride of place goes to her 1944 solo No. 2 \"Time Waits For No One\". It includes seven No. 1s - \"They Say\" and \"Thanks For Ev'rything\" with Artie Shaw, \"I Don't Want To Walk Without You\", \"Mister Five By Five\", \"I Had The Craziest Dream\" and \"I've Heard That Song Before\" with Harry James and \"Taking A Chance On Love\" with Benny Goodman. It also features a continuous run of seven Top 10 hits with Dick Haymes. It's not only a fine and varied showcase for Helen's talent and versatility as a popular performer with the top bands of the day, but it's an evocative trawl across the popular music of a significant era in both music and what was going on in the wider world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Have Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep in a Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey Say\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThanks for Ev'rything\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetween a Kiss and a Sigh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Grow Sweeter As the Years Go By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Poured My Heart Into a Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes Love 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelancholy Mood 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDay in, Day Out 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany Dreams Ago 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll the Things You Are 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat's the Matter with Me' 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow High the Moon 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fable of the Rose 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Love You Any More (Any More Than I Do) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Resist You 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreaming Out Loud 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfidia (Tonight) 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Sister and I 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese Things You Left Me 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYours 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Devil Sat Down and Cried 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Want to Walk Without You 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkylark 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Remember You 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBut Not for Me 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe's My Guy 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Cried for You (Now It's Your Turn to Cry Over Me) 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMister Five By Five 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Had the Craziest Dream 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManhattan Serenade 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Heard That Song Before 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaking a Chance on Love 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabin in the Sky 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Heard You Cried Last Night 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime Waits for No One 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Ago (And Far Away) 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Had to Be You 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTogether 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'll Buy That Dream 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Sunday Morning 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Always Chasing Rainbows 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOh!
