Maxine Sullivan - It's Wonderful

A subtle and lightly swinging jazz singer, Maxine Sullivan's delivery was very likable, and she did justice to all of the lyrics she sang during her long career. After moving to New York, Sullivan sang during intermissions at the Onyx Club and was discovered by pianist Claude Thornhill. Thornhill recorded her with a sympathetic septet singing a couple of standards and two Scottish folk songs performed in swinging fashion � Annie Laurie and Loch Lomond. The latter became a big hit and Sullivan's signature song for the rest of her career. Future sessions found her singing vintage folk tunes such as I Dream Of Jeanie, Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes and If I Had A Ribbon Bow. Even if lightning did not strike twice, she was now a popular attraction.
