Sue Raney (born June 18, 1940 in McPherson, Kansas) is an American jazz singer. Signed by Capitol Records at the age of 17, her debut album, the Nelson Riddle-produced When Your Lover Has Gone, was released in 1958.
Biography
Raney begin singing at only four years of age, and encouraged by her mother, began working as a professional before she was a teenager. When she was nearly 14, she joined Jack Carson's Los Angeles-based radio show in 1954, and later worked on television as Ray Anthony's band's main vocalist. Her single Biology was the first Capitol single to be elevated to national promotion after Capitol introduced regional pre-testing in 1960.
After a hiatus in the 1970s, Raney has continued to record sporadically, with one of her most recent albums being a 2006 tribute to Doris Day entitled Heart's Desire.
Her Imperial single "Early Morning Blues And Greens" was well-played on easy-listening stations, peaking at No. 16 on Billboard's MOR chart.
"Body and Soul" was written in New York City for the British actress and singer Gertrude Lawrence, who introduced it to London audiences. Published in England, it was first performed in the U.S.A. by Libby Holman in the 1930 Broadway revueThree's a Crowd.
In Britain the orchestras of Jack Hylton and Ambrose recorded the ballad first in the same week in February 1930. In the U.S.A. the tune grew quickly in popularity, and by the end of 1930 at least eleven American bands had recorded it. Louis Armstrong was the first jazz musician to record "Body and Soul", in October 1930
but it was Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra (Jack Fulton, vocal) who popularized it in U.S.A. Their recording hit the charts on October 11, 1930, and held the number one spot for six weeks.
Body & Soul is Rick Astley's fourth album, released in 1993. It was not commercially successful, failing to enter the UK album chart. The album charted for a week at number 185 on Billboard 200 and reached number 28 in Italy. Two singles were released from the album. After this album, Astley left the music business behind for several years and released no new material until 2001.
In World War I, American pilots Mal Andrews (Charles Farrell), Tap Johnson (Don Dillaway) and Jim Watson (Humphrey Bogart) enrol in a Royal Air Force squadron. Mal and Tap are worried that their friend Jim is cheating on his new bride. When General Trafford Jones (Ian MacLaren) arrives to evaluate the squadron, he criticizes its lack of discipline and poor effort in aerial battles. Consequently, the general orders Watson to undertake a near-suicidal mission to shoot down an enemy balloon for his first flight with the squadron. Secretly, Mal joins him aboard the aircraft and when Jim is killed in the air battle, his friend manages to complete the mission and make it look like the dead pilot was a hero.

I'm in Dreamsville - Holding you
A dreamy view - Just we two alone
With love in Dreamsville - Time is new
We're here to love - And we do
We can see the rest of the world, Below us

There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring - Hand in hand
To dreamy Dreamsville - Far away
I'ts here we'll love - Here we'll stay

My heart is sad and lonely For you I sigh, for you dear only Why haven't you seen it? I'm all for you body and soul I spend my days in longing And wondering why It's me you're wronging I tell you I mean it I'm all for you body and soul I can't believe it It's hard to conceive it That you'd turn away romance Are you pretending? it Looks like the ending Unless I could have one more chance to prove Dear, my life's a wreck you're making You know I'm yours for just the taking
