Carol Sloane is one of my favorite singers.  Like most of my favorite
singers, her work, especially her best, is hard to find in the U.S.A.
Recently she has recorded for more widely distributed labels, so her
most recent recordings are obtainable in the U.S.  These are, on
Contemporary Records "Love You Madly" and "The Real Thing."  I *think*
"I Could Have Told You So" is from "Love You Madly."  Recently, Concord
Jazz released "Heart's Desire."

My favorite Sloane albums are harder to find.  Her second album,
recorded for Columbia in the early 60's is "Live at 30th Street,"
which is available on CD in Japan.  Another Japanese issue, recorded
in 1985 and on CBS/Sony has been carried at several Tower stores and
at times from Cadence magazine.  It's all Gershwin and entitled "But
Not for Me."

A terrific album, recorded around 1982, has been around from time to
time on both Eastwind and Four Star.  It's called "As Time Goes By."

An interesting interview with Carol can be found in Whitney Balliett's
"American Singers."

Feel free to email me at [e-mail] if you want to
continue this discussion.  There doesn't seem to be a great deal of
interest in singers on r.m.b.  :-)
