Valerie Carr

A FRESH York-born African-American singer, Valerie Carr had slice music for Syd Nathan’s Ruler Information in the middle-1950’s before putting your signature on with Morris Levy’s Roulette label in 1958, at age 22. There, she documented “When The Males Talk About GIRLS,” which charted very well in Britain. She was certainly (and justifiably) a preferred of somebody’s at Roulette during her years there (1958-62), documenting many LPs’ well worth of tunes, including Track Stylist Extraordinaire (1959), which she switched her skills to tunes like “My Crazy Valentine,” “GET ONE OF THESE Small Tenderness,” “AFTER I Fall In Like,” and “WITHIN THE Rainbow,” Ev’ry Hour Ev’ry Time of MY ENTIRE LIFE (1959), often regarded her best record. Her most fondly appreciated single, however, is most likely “I Talk AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF,” her answer-record to Joe Jones’ 1960 strike “You Talk AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF” (also lower for Roulette).
