EU-only two CD collection. The music business seems to delight in categorization so, for anyone charged with putting Damita Jo into a pigeonhole; it must be a nightmare task. Is she jazz? Is she pop? Is she R&B? Well, she has been considered all those things yet none of them because she is simply a singer's singer, a song stylist with one of the classiest, crystal-clear voices in the business. The first 20 tracks on the first disc feature Steve Gibson and The Red Caps for which Damita was a lead vocalist. This double disc set features three LPs plus 12 bonus singles and includes the hits 'I'll Save The Last Dance For You', an answer record to the Drifters hit, 'Save The Last Dance For Me'. Climbing to #22 pop and #16 R&B on the Billboard listings, and another answer song, 'I'll Be There' - a response to Ben E. King's 'Stand By Me'. Fully detailed liner notes covering her career.
