ANITA KERR SINGERS
“In the late '50's Anita and her quartet released several fine albums for Decca under her own name. In 1961 she recorded "The Hit Sound" album for RCA which exemplified the "Nashville Sound" she co-created along with Chet Atkins, Floyd Cramer, Bob Moore, Boots Randolph and a tight clique of other stellar Nashville studio musicians.
Anita, the purest most lyrical soprano in recorded music, gathered together ace studio vocalists Lou Nunley, bass, tenor Gil Wright, alto Dorothy Dillard and achieved the greatest blend of voices and consistent purity of sound of any group that ever recorded commercially. She wrote, arranged and vocalized the music and often lead the studio orchestra in addition to her studio executive status with RCA,
This album features some of Country Music's "classics" and finest renditions of those songs I have ever heard, most notably, "Last Date", "I'll Hold You In My Heart 'Till I Can Hold You In My Arms", "Four Walls" and "You Don't Know Me."”
