by Samuel Chell
Keely Smith The Essential Capitol Collection Capitol/EMI 2007 Of all the great American female singers, Keely Smith may be the most naturally gifted.

Keely Smith: The Essential Capitol Collection
by David Rickert
With the overabundance of female vocalists making records in the fifties, it's not much of a surprise that Keely Smith has become lost in the shuffle today. If known at all, it's probably for her records with Louis Prima and not for her work as a solo artist. This is a shame, for Smith was a ...

Keely Smith: Vegas 58 - Today
by Celeste Sunderland
When Keely Smith sings “I've Got A Right To Sing The Blues, you believe her because she's the kind of woman whose authority goes un-argued. But in a way you doubt her because she's also the sort of lady who would always find her way around the blues. Actually, there's very little blues to be had ...
Keely Smith: Las Vegas '58-Today
by Jim Santella

Recalling the legendary Count Basie Orchestra and adding strings, the album makes a genuine tribute to a powerful force in jazz’s history. Frank Collett’s swinging arrangement of ...
