This RCA Victor LP marked the recording debut of Vicky Lane, a native of Ireland who was also an actress. Although gifted with an attractive voice in the alto range, Lane evidently didn't make much of an impression with record buyers, as this also seems to be the only recording under her name. This doesn't mean this is a bad record; in fact, she shows a lot of promise for a first-time recording artist, assisted by Pete Candoli's swinging arrangements and a supporting cast that also includes Jimmy Rowles, Barney Kessel, Alvin Stoller, and Joe Mondragon, along with a host of additional percussionists. Perhaps her selection of all upbeat songs instead of mixing a wider variety of material worked against her, though it is impossible to tell almost a half century after these sessions were completed.~Ken Dryden http://www.allmusic.com/album/i-swing-for-you-mw0000432544
