Dakota Staton - Softly/Round Midnight

This two-fer from EMI features a pair of out of print Dakota Staton LPs: Softly and Round Midnight, both originally issued on Capitol Records in 1960 and 1961, respectively. Highlights among the 24 pop standards include "The Folks Who Live on the Hill," "The Very Thought of You," and "I Can't Get Started." This is a nice sampler of familiar items that should satisfy the needs of casual fans. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
