When she made the first of the recordings heard in 'Miss In-Between' in 1947, Toni was just 10 years old - but she sang like someone twice that age, at least, and was immediately hailed as a future star and seen by lovers of jazz and blues vocalists as considerably more than a 'novelty kiddie act'. We've managed to fit almost all of the recordings Toni made between 1948 and 1953 into this collection, including duets with former Duke Ellington vocalist Herb Jeffries and selections recorded with the big band of Harry James. They all tell the story of why Toni Harper deserves the reputation she earned as a singer before she was even old enough to go to college. It's taken a long time to get this project past the finishing post - and sadly Toni passed away in February of this year, just as the finishing touches were being applied, having not recorded since she retired from singing 1965. It is nevertheless a permanent testament to a unique talent, and it's release means that - a few later singles apart - just about all of this remarkable young woman's equally remarkable early recordings can now be heard again for the first time since some of them appeared on a vinyl reissue in the 80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCandy Store Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tabby the Cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You're My Everything\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Miss In-Between\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Bippety Bip Bop Pony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You're Too Tall I'm Too Small\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Peppermint Stick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Muffin Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cinderella Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rock a Bye Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Floppy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Get Goin' Engineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Is That All I Mean to You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sam's Song (The Happy Tune)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Happy Feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Dish Rag (Rub-A-Dub-Dub)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Get Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jingle Bells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Snowy White Snow and Jingle Bells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Baby Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Peculiar Kind of Feeling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mom and Dad's Waltz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e That's All I Want for Christmas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Blacksmith Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Send Me Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Melancholy Trumpet (Ooh-Wah)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'll Never Forget You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Silly Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521929777426,"sku":"604988271126","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/toni-harper-miss-in-between-selected-singles-as-bs-1948-1953-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
