"  Laura"--A jazz and vocal treat. David Raksin wrote this haunting melody for the famous film with Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney with Clifton Webb as the deranged villain.
It had little public appeal until Johnny Mercer wrote those evocative lyrics and soon it became a standard for all time. The Singer Unlimited was spun out of the Ji-Lo's and added a female voice to replace the original high tenor sound of Clark Burroughs. Those four singers would record a number of separate vocal lines and eventually become a chorus through the arranging genius of Gene Puerling. Gene's vocal wizardry is combined with the imaginative jazz arrangement of Rob McConnell, founder and leader of the 21 piece Boss Brass ensemble.
Here you have a marvellous melody, arranged for a large number of over-dubbing lines from 4 singers and McConnell's solid jazz support of both the song and the singers.

NOTE: A number of famous songwriters have stated that Laura, was one song they wished that they had written.
