Everything's Coming Up Rosie
Everything's Coming Up Rosie is a 1977 studio album by the American jazz singer Rosemary Clooney. It was the first solo album that Clooney released on Concord Records. The title is a reference to the 1959 song "Everything's Coming up Roses". On the album, Clooney is accompanied by a quintet of jazz musicians. The album marked the beginning of a fifteen year recording and performance partnership with tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton.
Background
Everything's Coming Up Rosie followed two albums recorded in 1975-1976 for United Artists. The United Artist records featured country and contemporary popular songs, and were an attempt to revive Clooney's career after several years outside of the music industry. Neither of the United Artists records were financially successful, and Clooney was dropped from the label. Signing with Concord, an independent label that specialized in mainstream swing and jazz, Clooney began working in a small-group swing setting, singing mostly traditional pop standards. Clooney would record a further twenty-five albums for Concord, with her last being released a year before her death in 2002.Track listing
