Singer Maxine Sullivan's popularity peaked in the 1930s and 40's, with hit recordings, a series of successful club dates, a radio show, and well-received parts in a couple of movies. At that time she had a small, light voice, easy to listen to but easy to forget. To catch the flavor, listen to a few of Sullivan's early recordings, like "Night and Day" (1938) and "Skylark" (1947). In 1958, she left the music business, and when she returned in 1966 at the age of 55, something had changed. By 1987, when the Jule Styne album was recorded, Sullivan was 76 and her voice was even more limited. She sang some of the words, spoke others, and never ventured beyond a limited (yet still serviceable) range. But a kind of reverse metamorphosis had taken place: the pretty, delicate butterfly had finally become an even more beautiful caterpillar.
