Tracks: Tangerine Embraceable You This Is The End Of A Beautiful Friendship If He Walked Into My Life I Remember You Going Out Of My Head I'm All Smiles Yours My Way Watch What Happens Didn't We I Wanna Be Around About The Record: Helen O'Connell was an American singer, actress, and hostess, described as "the quintessential big band singer of the 1940s". O'Connell joined the Dorsey band in 1939 and achieved her best selling records in the early 1940s with Green Eyes, Amapola, Tangerine and Yours. In each of these Latin-influenced numbers, Bob Eberly crooned the song which Helen then reprised in an up-tempo arrangement. O'Connell was selected by DownBeat readers as best female singer in 1940 and 1941 and won the 1940 Metronome magazine poll for best female vocalist. In a 1993 obituary article, the Associated Press described O'Connell as "the darling of GIs during World War II".
