Sheila Guthrie - IT DOESN'T MEAN A THING (1963)

Details

Description

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED - (Fontana 399(b)) It appears that this disc recorded by Miss Guthrie, a Canadian vocalist signed to Chateau Records which was owned by her producer, Art Snider, is oddly only known to be issued in the United Kingdom on the Fontana label as no Chateau discs seem to have surfaced. Recorded at the legendary RCA Studio 'B' in Nashville with an ensemble of Music City's 'A-Team', Les Pouliot was the composer of 'Mirror Mirror', the A-side which was a drum laden and string drenched pop number. He also composed the B-side, 'It Doesn't Mean a Thing', a weepy country-pop production right in line with the style of Patsy Cline or Brenda Lee. Background vocals we performed in first class form as expected by the Anita Kerr Singers. Miss Guthrie along with Canadian songstress, Pat Hervey were both known to have recorded some wonderful girly tracks in Nashville, some of which have the involvement of producer, Chet Atkins.
