Jimmy Scott’s Falling In Love Is Wonderful Reissued

  I  

Forty years ago Jimmy Scott was set to release a record that would have made him a household name. On September 27, listeners finally got to hear the legendary Falling In Love Is Wonderful.

The album, one of the most highly sought jazz vocal records in history, will be available in limited edition at www.RhinoHandmade.com for the list price of $19.98. Featuring the original ten tracks including the breathtaking “Someone To Watch Over Me” and “They Say It’s Wonderful,” Falling In Love Is Wonderful showcases Jimmy’s high-pitched alto voice and his unique sense of timing. Produced by Ray Charles for his Tangerine label, Falling In Love Is Wonderful was originally released in 1963 but was quickly recalled due to a contractual dispute with Savoy Records.
