• Although she had previously cut some fairly raucous R&B Sides, Donna Hightower was right at home in the more sophisticated setting provided by Sid Feller's orchestrations on these two LPs from 1958/59: "Take One!" & "Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You?"

• On a mix of ballads and blues she is backed by two all-star groups including some of the finest soloists on the New York jazz scene -- Ben Webster, Joe Wilder, Hank Jones etc

• The versatile vocalist later achieved pop success in Europe before returning to jazz
