Toni
Arden
started
her
career
in
the
1940s
singing
with
name
bands
of
the
time
-
Al
Trace,
Joe
Reichman
and
Ray
Bloch,
before
becoming
a
solo
act.
Signed
to
major
record
label
in
1949,
Toni’s
output
for
the
first
5
years
was
approximately
20
singles.
It
is
from
this
wealth
of
recordings
that
we
have
chosen
27
tracks
to
showcase
her
vocal
talent,
and
to
serve
as
a
tribute
to
a
great
but
under-rated
singer.
Although
some
of
her
recordings
were
issued
in
Britain
in
the
1950s,
as
far
as
we
know,
Toni
Arden
did
not
perform
here
during
that
period.
This
was
possibly
due
to
the
fact
that
she
was
a
busy
night-club
act
across
the
USA
appearing
in
such
venues
as
New
York’s
“La
Vie
En
Rose”
and
“Copacabana”.
She
was
also
a
regular
guest
on
many
popular
television
programmes
like
“The
Ed
Sullivan
Show”,
“The
Dinah
Shore
Show”,
and
“The
Bing
Crosby
Show”.
During
this
time
she
was
seen
in
a
small
number
of
movies.
Like
many
of
the
post-war
songbirds
Toni
was
a
versatile
performer.
In
her
Top
Ten
hit
“I
Can
Dream,
Can’t
I?”
she
is
touchingly
subdued
but
her
vocal
power
is
revealed
in
“Kiss
of
Fire”,
a
Top
Twenty
song
for
her
.
In
“My
Man”
and
“Tell
Your
Tale,
Nightingale”
there
is
plenty
of
drama
from
the
American-Italian
songstress.
If
you’ve
never
heard
Toni
sing
before,
we
think
you’ll
be
pleasantly
surprised
by
the
26
re-mastered
tracks
on
this
CD.
