A charismatic actress and singer alike, Rosemary Clooney thrived across a robust breadth of musical styles over her half-century career. Her first big pop hit came with 1951's jaunty, off-kilter “Come On-a My House”, based on an Armenian folk song. She found just as much success in jazz, showcasing her breathy side with “It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)” and nailing homesick balladry with “Sweet Kentucky Ham”. Clooney was also a prolific collaborator, working repeatedly with her White Christmas co-star, Bing Crosby, before teaming up with guitarist John Pizzarelli to pay loving tribute to bossa nova on 2000's “Brazil”.
