Ruth Etting, who acquired the nickname "America's Sweetheart Of Song", was a singer and actress who was one of the most popular and successful performers during the 1920s and early '30s, but who retired from the business in 1937 when she was about 40 years old. She performed regularly on the Broadway stage and many of her 60 and more hit songs were early versions of Great American Songbook classics from the popular musicals and revues of the era. This 71-track 3-CD collection comprises all her 62 records which are listed as hits, along with selected other recordings of some of the great songs of the time from her releases on the Columbia, Melotone, Brunswick, Banner and Decca labels. It features her No. 1 with "Life is A Song", and her other classic hits "'Deed I Do", "Love Me Or Leave Me", "Back In Your Own Back Yard", "Ten Cents A Dance", "I'll Get By", "Mean To Me", "Guilty", "Body And Soul", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "Try A Little Tenderness" and many more. This collection offers a thoroughly enjoyable showcase for a performer who was a highly distinctive vocalist, with a very personal way with a song, and her music was very much of its era.
