Lu Ann Simms – The Columbia Records Anthology (1952-1957) (2019) [Official Digital Download 24bit/192kHz]

During the fifties, pretty Lu Ann Simms came to prominence in the very popular, highly rated Arthur Godfrey show on US television. During her time with the show, she produced a number of best selling singles. They are all presented here, from the waltz-time lament “Moving Away” to “You Can’t Measure My Love”. Lu Ann had a clear, direct approach to a song and whether she’s singing country and western or a melancholy ballad, she makes the song her own.
