Here are two hit albums by Joni James, one of the most consistent hitmakers M-G-M ever had—a lovely collection of yesterday’s favorite songs and top hit tunes from Hollywood movies. She put more than just her voice into Among My Souvenirs —her heart is in this album of evergreens, of melodic memories that Joni treasured. Joni in Hollywood features the winsome thrush singing in her own familiar style, with lush backing by the 100 Strings. In Joni’s own words, “they’re great songs, and it’s marvelous to sing them this way.” How would you feel?
