Mindy
Carson
sang
on
Paul
Whiteman’s
1940s
radio
show
before
hosting
her
own
radio
and
television
programmes
throughout
the
1950s.
After
a
slow
start
with
the
Signature
and
Musicraft
labels,
Mindy’s
recording
career
improved
when
she
signed
to
RCA
where
her
rendition
of
“My
Foolish
Heart”
reached
number
6
in
the
national
charts,
beating
stiff
competition
from
many
other
versions.
At
RCA
there
were
other
chart
success
-
“Candy
And
Cake”,
“A
Rainy
Day
Refrain”,
“Lonely
Little
Robin”,
all
included
on
this
CD
release
amongst
the
27
tracks,
most
appearing
on
CD
for
the
first
time.
Moving
to
CBS
in
1952
Mindy
achieved
further
success
with
“Tell
Me
You’re
Mine”,
also
featured
here,
and
“Wake
The
Town
And
Tell
The
People”.
At
CBS
Mindy’s
duets
with
her
label-mate
Guy
Mitchell
proved
popular
with
the
British
public
and
she
performed
in
Britain
in
the
mid
1950s.
While
in
London
she
was
invited
by
Lew
Grade
to
star
in
an
hour
long
television
special
for
ATV
called
“The
Palladium”.
During
this
time
she
was
one
of
the
busiest
“supper
club”
entertainers
in
America.
After
the
hits
stopped
Mindy
switched
career
to
theatre
work.
When
“South
Pacific”
was
revived
on
Broadway,
Richard
Rodgers
hired
Mindy
to
play
Nellie
Forbush
and
she
went
on
to
star
in
another
musical,
“The
Body
Beautiful”.
From
then
on
there
were
few
records
but
plenty
of
musicals
and
even
straight
acting.
Mindy
last
appeared
on
stage
in
1967
in
the
play
“Dinner
At
Eight”.
When
that
closed
she
retired,
and
lives
happily
on
in
Florida.
