Last summer, When I was preparing an article about new talent for the magazine, an enterprising RCA Victor man brought four unedited 45-rpm sides to my attention. I heard, in those exploratory sides, several sirens proclaiming Susan Barrett’s potential, and, in an August 27th, 1966, issue, mentioned that the firm might soom record the attractive blonde in a collection of worthy show-tune material. This became fact in a series of Webster Hall, New York, studio sessions during early November - one of which I attended. On November 21, Susan rocked the foundation of the Las Angeles Cocoanut Grove. Witness the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner (Glenn Hawkins): “Patrons Whistled, Shouted for encores, and gave her a standing ovation.” The Los Angeles Times (John L. Scott): “Her assent include beauty and youthful zest, and a singing voice That with careful handling should make her a star… Miss Barrett sings thoughtfully and carefully, revealing a smooth, natural voice that is especially rich in the lower register.” Daily Variety (Whit): “... audience paid her rapt attention … the sort of vibrant thrush who fits in the grove for every-age audiences … her delivery is easy, backed with charm and a fresh personality.” Hollywood Reporter (Hank Grant): “... wall-to-wall full house at a Grove debut. For those of us watching her in the flesh for the first time, it came as a surprise to see this delectable honey-blonde dish … display a brilliant singing style and vocal savvy that belie her tender year.” Variety (Whit):”... despite her youth - 23 - she registered authority as she constantly changed her style. ”
Let me echo the endorsements of these reviewers. You’ll join us as you settle back to “meet Susan Barrett.” When She toys with a show tune, the tone is real silk and iridescence - no synthetics within miles; when she’s contemporary shr has the zip of a campus hop; when she’s melodically introspective, she’s a new Little Girl blue. It’s more to the point that you hear her than read me, but I’ll stress that, with Susan Barretts, the era of the vocalist with the tiny, thin timbre is out and the reign of the wide-range, true pop singer is very much in. Listen especially to the sultry tenderness of the daring and dramatic reading of April Showers, Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye, It Had to Be You, Bewitched, I‘ll only Miss Him When I Think or Him and My Man; however, don’t short-change Susan’s sprightly Walking Happy or the delicious I Want to be Happy. She is fortunate to possess a voice rich and sun-shot, high noon at command, but capable of “quick-changing” for the mysterious, sable shadows of evening. Twelve hits: no misses.
When Susan Barrett counts her blessings, she’s sure to remember Paul Rabinson, the producer of this album, and Marion Evant, it's brilliantly sensitive arranger/ She “wants to be happy” and to make us happy.
It’s a cinch.
