Product description

Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Billy Eckstine's "Prisoner Of Love," a captivating journey through the golden era of vocal jazz and big band music. Released on November 22, 2015, by Comfort Classics, this album is a testament to Eckstine's enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in the swing and bebop eras. Spanning a rich 64 minutes, the album features 21 tracks, including the iconic title track "Prisoner Of Love," a 1931 classic with music by Russ Columbo and Clarence Gaskill, and lyrics by Leo Robin.

Eckstine's velvety baritone and impeccable phrasing shine throughout the album, from the dreamy "My Deep Blue Dream" to the upbeat "Oo Bop Sh'Bam." The tracklist is a delightful mix of romantic ballads like "I Only Have Eyes For You" and "You're My Everything," and lively numbers such as "The Jitney Man" and "Jelly Jelly." The album also includes lesser-known gems like "Second Balcony Jump" and "Cool Breeze," showcasing Eckstine's versatility and range.

Born William Clarence Eckstine on July 8, 1914, the artist was not just a singer but also a bandleader who left an indelible mark on the music world. His influence resonates through each track, making "Prisoner Of Love" a compelling exploration of his artistry. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his music, this album offers a chance to experience the magic of Billy Eckstine's voice and the vibrant energy of the big band era.

This LP was released in 1958.
