Details: Amazon.ca There were great misgivings in 1962, when Quincy Jones proposed recording Nana Mouskouri, the young Greek diva, singing an album of American songs in New York. After all, they said, it's not as though there's a shortage of good American singers, singing in their native language. But Quincy knew what he was doing, and, besides, he was the Artistic Director of the company. The result was utterly charming--a new slant on old favorites such as "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" and "Till There Was You", proving that these songs have universal meaning. For some reason, the album was originally issued only in the US, so this is the first opportunity for most of us to enjoy it. Torrie Zito's arrangements add a final polish to a rediscovered classic. --Steve Voce Product Description Quincy Jones was so impressed after meeting Nana in '62 that he flew her to NYC to record this set of standards: That's My Desire; What Now My Love; Smoke Gets in Your Eyes; Till There Was You, and more. Three bonus tracks.
