One of the first to use classical themes in jazz, Ellington is considered one of the its most innovative composers as well. (Many of his later numbers were written with his longtime collaborator Billy Strayhorn, who wrote Ellington's signature tune "Take the 'A' Train.") At the height of his career Ellington toured the world with his orchestra and composed many standards. His best known numbers include "Mood Indigo," "In A Sentimental Mood," and "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing."..In the decade after World War II, Rosemary Clooney was the cheerful, dimpled singer of pop tunes like "Hey There" and "This Ole House." Her saucy 1951 hit "Come On-A My House" made her a star. ("Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give you candy.") She was briefly a movie star as well, appearing in musical romances like Here Come the Girls (1953, with Bob Hope). Her most famous film was White Christmas (1954), in which she and Vera-Ellen played sisters wooed by Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby. Clooney married actor Jos Ferrer in 1953, and they had five children between 1955 and 1960. They were divorced in 1961, remarried in 1964, and then divorced again in 1967. Romantic turmoil and overwork, combined with an addiction to prescription pills and the assassination of her friend Robert Kennedy in 1968, led to a nervous breakdown and a stay in a psychiatric hospital. But in later years she returned to the scene as a matronly and nostalgic singer of jazz and pop standards.The LP has been autographed on the front cover by Duke Ellington with a fountain pen in black and Rosemary Clooney with a fountain pen in red.............CONDITION OF VINYL,COVER AND AUTOGRAPHS IS VG...................
