Jo Elizabeth Stafford (November 12, 1917 – July 16, 2008) was an American traditional pop music singer and occasional actress, whose career spanned five decades from the late 1930s to the early 1980s. Admired for the purity of her voice, she originally underwent classical training to become an opera singer before following a career in popular music, and by 1955 had achieved more worldwide record sales than any other female artist. Her 1952 song "You Belong to Me" topped the charts in the United States and United Kingdom, the record becoming the first by a female artist to reach number one on the U.K. Singles Chart.
Born in Coalinga, California, Stafford made her first musical appearance at age twelve. While still at high school she joined her two older sisters to form a vocal trio named The Stafford Sisters, who enjoyed moderate success on radio and in film. In 1938, while the sisters were part of the cast of Twentieth Century Fox's production of Alexander's Ragtime Band, Stafford met the future members of The Pied Pipers and became the group's lead singer. Bandleader Tommy Dorsey hired them in 1939 to perform back-up vocals for his orchestra.
The following articles contain lists of Jo Stafford compilation albums:
The Ultimate may refer to:
The Ultimate Vanessa-Mae is a compilation album by Vanessa-Mae, released on EMI in 2003 (see 2003 in music).
The Ultimate is a compilation of recordings by Grace Jones released in 1993. The album would cover the same material as 1985 Island Life, in addition to four other tracks. The Ultimate was released only in the Netherlands, where it enjoyed a considerable success.
Note: Edits of "Slave to the Rhythm", "Do or Die" and "The Fashion Show" are included.
HM Prison Stafford is a Category C men's prison, located in Stafford, Staffordshire, England. The prison is operated by Her Majesty's Prison Service.
Stafford Prison was built on its current site in 1793, and has been in almost continuous use, save a period between 1916 and 1939. It held Irish Internees taken by the British after the 1916 Easter Rising from May. They were released Christmas 1916.
Among its earlier prisoners was George Smith who served several sentences for theft there but began his later work as a hangman while a prisoner, assisting William Calcraft. He officiated at several executions in the prison later in his life, notably that of poisoner William Palmer in 1866.
In November 1998, an inspection report from Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons heavily criticised security at Stafford Prison, after it emerged that inmates were being supplied with drugs flown in on paper planes. Inmates were fashioning strips of paper into planes, then attaching lines to them and flying them over the 19-foot (5.8-metre) perimeter wall. The lines were then used to pull packages containing drugs and other banned substances back over the wall. The prison was also criticised for being overcrowded, under-resourced, and failing to prepare prisoners for release.
Stafford is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Jeremy Lefroy, a Conservative.
Stafford, as a parliamentary borough, first existed between the Model Parliament in 1295 and 1950.
The current constituency was created for the 1983 general election.
The town was represented in Parliament by leading playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan at the end of the 18th century.
Taken together with the Stafford and Stone seat which existed during the 33-year gap mentioned above, since 1910 when the last Liberal served the seat, the Conservative party has had five members and the Labour party two (this total includes the present member). In summary:
Jo Stafford singing You Belong To Me Please Rate and Comment!
"I'll Be Seeing You" by Sammy Fain and Irving Kahal is sung here by Jo Stafford. I'll be seeing you In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day through. In that small cafe; The park across the way; The children's carousel; The chestnut trees; The wishing well. I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day; In every thing that's light and gay. I'll always think of you that way. I'll find you In the morning sun And when the night is new. I'll be looking at the moon, But I'll be seeing you.
Jo Stafford : No Other Love No other love can warm my heart Now that I've known the comfort of your arms No other love. Oh the sweet contentment that I find with you every time Every time, No other lips could want you more For I was born to glory in your kiss. Forever yours I was blessed with love to love you Til the stars burn out above you Til the moon is but a silver shell No other love, let no other love Know the wonder of your spell
The Perry Como Show. May 25, 1957. With Mitchell Ayres Orchestra. Perry on guitar sings a duet with Jo Stafford "Blue Tail Fly / He's Gone Away".
...
This was my father's favorite singer and song. I dedicate this beautiful rendition to both my parents who gave me love and the appreciation to enjoy each moment. I miss them dearly. I'll be seeing you both again.
