Recording almost entirely with her brother, Buddy Johnson's band between 1940 and 1964 Ella Johnson brought a tough but tender approach to her singing.
This volume, covering her tenure for the Decca label between 1941 and 1952, includes
the chart hits "When My Man Comes Home" (#1, 1944), "That's The Stuff You Gotta
Watch" (#2, 1945) and "I Don't Care Who Knows" (#11, 1949) along with the timeless "Since I Fell For You" and many more perfectly-crafted recordings that have not seen reissue in a long time....
