This collection captures her during a key decade of her career

I Could Have Danced All Night: The Singles & Albums Collection 1952–61 celebrates the remarkable career of American jazz and popular vocalist Sylvia Syms, a performer whom Frank Sinatra famously described as 'the world's greatest saloon singer.' Born in Brooklyn in 1917 and inspired early in life by Billie Holiday, Syms emerged in the postwar years as one of America's most expressive interpreters of popular song. Admired for her impeccable phrasing, emotional intelligence, and profound appreciation of lyrics, she became one of the era's finest cabaret and jazz vocalists, even if later generations have overlooked her extraordinary achievements.

This comprehensive 70-track, 3-CD anthology gathers her Decca singles alongside complete selections from the Atlantic album Songs By Sylvia Syms, the Decca releases Sylvia Syms Sings and Songs Of Love, the Columbia album Torch Song, and the Kapp tribute That Man (Love Letter To Frank Sinatra), covering her most productive recording years through the early 1960s. Included are her U.S. hit singles 'I Could Have Danced All Night,' 'English Muffins And Irish Stew,' and 'Dancing Chandelier,' together with an outstanding collection of standards, Broadway favorites, torch songs, and sophisticated popular recordings.

Presented across three CDs, I Could Have Danced All Night: The Singles & Albums Collection 1952–61 provides the definitive portrait of one of America's finest song stylists, capturing a key decade in Sylvia Syms' career and showcasing the elegance, warmth, and interpretive brilliance that earned her admiration from fellow musicians and critics alike.
