RODGERS & HART'S " IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND" OSCAR PETERSON AND THE SINGERS UNLIMITED

Rodgers & Hart's " It Never Entered My Mind"  Oscar Peterson and The Singers Unlimited.

Rodgers & Hart wrote a number of reflective and heart-felt ballads. It Never Entered My Mind is just one of their many superb creations.  The Singers Unlimted was a newly formed vocal group comprised of the members of the Hi Lo's and 2 members from another vocal group  The J's With Jamey. When they combined forces, they made a demo record and over dubbed more vocal lines until it sounded like a full choir. Enter Oscar Peterson, legendary Canadian jazz pianist. He was so impressed with this new sound that he talked his own German proucer.engineering genius to sign the new group. He did and 15 albums were recorded with different arrangements and backup personnel. Their first release featured the solo imagination and harmonic wizardry of Oscar Peterson and the stunning feature voice of Bonn Herman. It Never Entered my Mind is a vocal showcase of what can happen when a great song is put into the hands of a great vocal arranger like Gene Puerling, the piano accompaniment of a wonderful pianist and multiple over-dubbed vocal lines of 4 brilliant singers.

NOTE: 2015 is the 90th birthday anniversary of Oscar Peterson who was as great an accompanist as he was a jazz soloist and leader of so many great small groups.
