A
Cinderella
story
unfolded
in
1953
when
a
thirty-one-year-old
singer
was
hired
to
appear
on
a
single
by
Percy
Faith,
one
of
Columbia
Records'
star
maestros.
Felicia
Sanders
was
assigned
a
lilting
waltz
from
Moulin
Rouge,
a
film
bio
of
Toulouse-Lautrec.
"The
Song
from
Moulin
Rouge
(Where
Is
Your
Heart?)"
would
hold
the
number-one
position
for
ten
weeks.
Sanders
walked
away
with
her
own
record
deal,
and
garnered
several
other
distinctions.
She
introduced
"Fly
Me
to
the
Moon"
at
the
Blue
Angel,
New
York's
chicest
cabaret;
performed
regularly
on
national
TV;
and
sang
for
long
stretches
at
the
Bon
Soir,
the
Greenwich
Village
club
that
helped
launch
Barbra
Streisand.
But
Sanders
is
all
but
forgotten
today
and
this
collection
of
her
work
on
Columbia
(1953-1955)
is
her
long-overdue
first
CD.
Sanders
was
singing
at
Hollywood's
Café
Gala
where
Benny
Carter
heard
her
and
pitched
her
to
Mitch
Miller,
who
headed
Columbia's
pop
department.
"Moulin
Rouge"
resulted.
More
French
ballads
in
the
"Moulin
Rouge"
vein
followed.
"Surrender
to
Me"
and
"This
Is
Real"
came
from
a
European
movie
flop,
Lola
Montès.
But
only
"Blue
Star,"
the
theme
of
a
mid-'50s
U.S.
TV
series,
The
Medic,
entered
the
top
thirty.
And
on
the
other
titles
–
an
enduring
tearjerker,
"How
Did
He
Look?";
"How
Long
Has
This
Been
Going
On?";
a
pretty
lullaby,
"Ma
Curly
Headed
Babby"
–
her
acting
ability
shines.
You'll
hear
more
of
that
on
her
first
LP,
Felicia
Sanders
at
the
Blue
Angel.
Though
a
simulated
live
album
with
canned
applause,
it
captures
much
of
her
onstage
magic.
Chestnuts
such
as
"My
Funny
Valentine"
and
"Old
Devil
Moon"
had
rarely
been
probed
so
incisively,
while
a
torch
song
from
1934,
"If
I
Love
Again,"
shows
off
one
of
the
more
heart-tugging
deliveries
ever
to
be
heard
in
a
cabaret.
Sanders
would
make
only
four
more
albums
in
a
career
that
dwindled
by
the
late
'60s.
But
she's
ripe
for
rediscovery,
and
this
CD
is
the
welcome
first
step.
