Description
This collection of 25 tracks, recorded by David Allyn, the popular Italian American singer, between 1941 and 1963, features him accompanied by the orchestras of Jack Teagarden, Boyd Raeburn, Lucky Thompson, Ike Carpenter, Johnny Richards, Bob Prince and Bob Florence.
David Allyn, who died in November 2012 at the age of 93, was one in the line of great Italian American popular singers. He first came to attention with the Jack Teagarden Orchestra in 1941. Joining the Boyd Raeburn Orchestra in 1945 he was introduced to the most advanced arrangements of George Handy and this established his reputation as an accomplished singer. Recordings with Johnny Richards and brilliant albums arranged by Johnny Mandel and Bob Florence demonstrated what a superior artiste he was, but he never achieved his full potential due to problems with drugs and time in prison.
