Erin Dickins: Nice Girls
By Track review of "Nice Girls Don’t Stay for Breakfast"The erstwhile title tune, composed by Jerome Leshay and Bobby Troup, was originally recorded by Julie London for her 1967 Liberty release of the same title. It has enjoyed relatively little coverage, appearing most recently on Kathy Kosins Vintage (Mahogany Records, 2005). Dickins' take on the chestnut is crazy sexy and breathless. Dickins possesses that ability all great singers have, to make the slowest ballads sound effortless. Her voice is light a coquettish, coy and smiling. A refined arrangement and spare instrumentation showcase this talent, welcoming it back.
