The voices of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong are among the most personal and beautiful that the history of music has given us, transcending eras, genres and languages. In this wonderful 6-CD box we can find the legacy of this immortal duet including all their key tracks and also some rarities that connoisseurs will surely appreciate. With remastered sound and beautiful cover art, The Complete Anthology is the definitive album of Ella & Louis, which should be on every music collection.

Eartha Kitt epitomized the idea of the sex-kitten chanteuse, rising to fame with a nightclub act centered on her slinky stage presence and her throaty purr of a voice. As much as she enjoyed vamping it up, she also projected the image of an exotic international sophisticate, especially since she sang in several different languages. She brought a definite zest to her torch songs, and favored lyrics that painted her as the Material Girl of her time. Kitt's persona was so vivid and well-developed that she remained easily identifiable well after her early-'50s heyday, and it also helped her find success as an actress in movies, TV, and theater.

The radio show C’est si Bon, led by Claude Saucier on ICI Musique, was born in the winter of 2012. Quickly, this musical event has become a must rendez-vous. This first album is an extension of the show where hits from 1930 to 1970 are happily revisited. Whether through the swing music of the big bands, the music of Broadway and American cinema industry, or crooners’ epic voices and pop and jazz divas of that time, Claude Saucier will transport you with the most beautiful music of our memories.

Alois Maxwell "Al" Hirt (November 7, 1922 – April 27, 1999) was an American trumpeter and bandleader. He is best remembered for his million-selling recordings of "Java" and the accompanying album Honey in the Horn (1963), and for the theme song to The Green Hornet. His nicknames included "Jumbo" and "The Round Mound of Sound". Colin Escott, an author of musician biographies, wrote that RCA Victor Records, for which Hirt had recorded most of his best-selling recordings and for which he had spent much of his professional recording career, had dubbed him with another moniker: "The King." Hirt was inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in November 2009.

Troppi uomini al giorno d'oggi non sanno più interpretare i giusti segnali che le donne inviano loro. Troppe donne al giorno d'oggi stanno mettendo la razionalità davanti alle emozioni. Questi atteggiamenti errati generano confusioni, incomprensioni e insoddisfazioni. I rapporti iniziano con un "Mi piace" e finiscono con uno stato di Whatsapp senza che i due protagonisti della storia abbiano potuto godere a fondo di quel meraviglioso rituale che è il corteggiamento. Rapporti superficiali che terminano per troppo orgoglio o per la troppa poca autonomia di pensiero. Troppi film, troppe canzoni e troppe storielle hanno trasformato quello che era la realtà più articolata e affascinante al mondo, l'amore, in un sogno inarrivabile.

One of the biggest teen idols of the late '50s, Paul Anka moved to the adult sphere several years later and became a successful performer, songwriter, music businessman, and recording artist, remaining so well into the new millennium. Born in Ottawa, Ontario in 1941 to parents of Lebanese Christian descent who owned a local restaurant, Anka proved a child prodigy, beginning his show-business life at the age of 12 as an impressionist. By the age of 14, he was stealing the family car to drive to amateur singing contests in nearby Hull, Quebec and writing his own songs. His first single, "I Confess," appeared on the Riviera subsidiary of Jules and Joe Bihari's RPM label. While on a trip to New York with a group of friends who sang as the Rover Boys, Anka gained an audition with ABC producer Don Costa, and sang his own composition, "Diana," an ode to a former babysitter. Costa liked what he heard, recorded the teenager, and watched as the single hit number one on both sides of the Atlantic later in 1957, eventually selling a reported ten million copies worldwide.
