Big band singer "pretty" Kitty Kallen started her career with Jack Teagarden before moving to Jimmy Dorsey where she hit the jackpot with "Besame Mucho". A stint with Harry James followed resulting in two further number one hits - "I"m Beginning To See The Light" and "It"s Been A Long, Long Time". After World War Two ended and tired of touring with the bands, Kitty decided to go solo and it is this "middle" period of her career, from 1946 to 1952, where the 25 tracks featured on this CD are from.
