It was in 1957 that the American songstress SUE RANEY (then aged 17) signed to Capitol Records and released her debut LP "When Your Lover Has Gone" produced by Nelson Riddle. Her latest album that was released in 2007 poignantly found Raney returning to those very same studios at Capital that she cut her first record.
"Heart's Desire: A Tribute to Doris Day" (2007) is accompanied with a full orchestration (brass, reeds, rhythm & strings) and arranged/conducted by the Grammy winning musician Alan Broadbent. Released by the Spanish independent label Fresh Sounds, it features a selection of Day tunes that on the whole originate from Doris's years at Warner Brothers.
Raney's back catalog of albums originally released through the 1960s - 1990s on Capitol Records, Imperial Records and Discovery Records, have found a worldwide resurgeance now that much of it has been reissued and remastered on CD. She has recorded albums with Stan Kenton, Nelson Riddle and Billy May. Of her songwriting, Nancy Wilson has recorded her works.
