Liner Note
Multi-voice albums by one singer are certainly no innovation. Patti Page was harmonizing with herself back around 1950. But you'll find few singers who have the talent to assume all vocal responsibilities, from intricate harmonies to large choral effects. In "A Little Help From My Friends," Sue Raney does just that; she has the rare ability to act out all vocal parts. Every breath of vocal work on this LP comes from one lovely, enchanting singer — Sue Raney. She serves as her own accompaniment.
Sue calls it a challenge. And the album shows the depth of her talent. But what's so strange about Sue Raney tackling a challenging vocal adventure? She's no novice. She was already an established singer when most young girls were making a rather awkward transition from Elvis Presley to Clearasil. It took time to polish her vocal talent. There were ups and downs, good breaks and bad ones. There was the time in Australia when the critics banged nothing but praise out of their typewriters and the crowds came early and stayed and stayed and stayed. Then, for a time, things couldn't be better, She completed her third album for Capitol Records and was swamped with hotel and night club bookings as well as offers for various television appearances.
Then came a down. An auto accident crumbled the classic stairway to stardom. Bedridden for months, Sue faded out of the musical picture. But no one seemed to forget. With the help of crutches, she made an appearance on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show," and became an instant hit.
This album, Sue's third on Imperial records, serves to substantiate the popular opinion that Sue Raney is one of the most talented and versatile singers around today. For Sue Raney, today will last a long while.
