Jazz / Vocal; Vocal Jazz
She did that through two requisites: tremendous talent and a great deal of experience. The talent was something she was born with, the experience was something that took time and hard work to achieve. Kay got her first taste of show business performing on Dallas radio. Her first dance band job was with Bob Crosby's Bobcats. She then worked with Joe Venuti's orchestra and then on to Glenn Miller. Jazz was always the name of the game for Kay and the greatest jazz musicians would always flock to her to play along side her. Practically all her great work was done for Capitol Records and aside from the tremendous success with "Wheel of Fortune" she also made great inroads with Liberty Records, a late Capitol acquisition. DRG is fortunate to release a rare session with many greats with Kay including Willie Smith, Joe Venuti, Calvin Jackson, Red Collender, Vic Dickenson, Ray Linn, Allan Reuss and Zutty Singleton. In addition to the rare, never before released on CD Swingin' with the starr Liberty Records album, we are fortunate to include rare singles with some unreleased tracks.

A solid jazz singer whose early recordings tended to be forgotten after her ascendancy into the commercial sphere during the mid-'50s, Kay Starr was among the first pop singer to capitalize on the "rock fad" with her 1955 novelty "Rock and Roll Waltz." Her biggest hit came with the era-defining "Wheel of Fortune," a prime slice of '50s adult pop with a suitably brassy reading. Born in Oklahoma, she moved to Dallas at a young age and made her debut on radio while still in school. A brief stay with Glenn Miller & His Orchestra precipitated her working with groups led by Bob Crosby, Joe Venuti and finally Charlie Barnet. She recorded a few numbers with Barnet that earned her a solo contract with Capitol.
By 1948, Starr made her Your Hit Parade breakthrough with "You Were Only Foolin' (While I Was Falling in Love)." Subsequent hits like "Hoop-Dee-Doo," "Oh, Babe!" and "I'll Never Be Free" (the latter with Tennessee Ernie Ford) framed her in an emerging vein of the popular market that also looked back to traditional country and folk. In 1952, "Wheel of Fortune" became her biggest hit and one of the signature songs of the '50s pop sound. She struggled to reach a similar chart peak for several years afterwards, though "Comes A-Long A-Love" topped the British charts. With her move to RCA in 1955, though the comical "Rock and Roll Waltz" spent several weeks at number one. It was her last major hit, followed by just one additional Top Ten entry, 1957's "My Heart Reminds Me." By the 1960s, she had begun to concentrate more on performing (especially in Las Vegas) than recording, despite moving back to Capitol in 1961. In the '90s, she played several oldies packages, including the 3 Girls 3 tour with Helen O'Connell and Margaret Whiting.
