Having gained considerable experience as the top singer with some of the biggest name bands in the country, Lucy Ann Polk (1927-2011) decided to quit the road after four successful years with the Les Brown band. Voted Best Girl Band Vocalist in Down Beat magazine s Readers Poll for four years in a row (1951-1954), she settled in her Los Angeles home, with her husband, trombonist Dick Noel. From then on she worked on casual singing TV and radio engagements, and appeared in several live performances mainly with the Dave Pell Octet. She had acquired a mature style of her own, much admired by both public and musicians. Her voice was not the penetrating instrument of other leading vocalists, but she was a warm and swinging singer. As these sides make abundantly clear, she found her own freedom, away from the constraints of the band setting, in singing backed by small groups like Pell s octet or Marty Paich s sextet and quartet. An independent soul, she was a lovely and talented singer, tellingly described by Les Brown s trumpeter and arranger Wes Hensel as one of the grooviest people who ever walked this earth. Review "Lucy Ann Polk's lone Mode session pairs the singer with a sextet led by pianist and arranger Marty Paich, whose nuanced, spacious orchestrations perfectly complement Polk's sultry yet supremely controlled style. The strength of Lucky Lucy Ann is its subtlety -- not a note is wasted or extraneous, and for all the modernist elements converging in Paich's arrangements, he never obscures the clarity of perennials like "Makin' Whoopee" and "Time After Time." Polk likewise shades the universal themes of the lyrics with a style and fierce intelligence all her own -- for all the power of her voice, it's her restraint that rings loudest and clearest." --Jason Ankeny (All Music Guide) ## Images ![But Beautiful on Bonus Tracks - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6156iRPIczL.jpg) ![But Beautiful on Bonus Tracks - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DlNnOH55L.jpg) ![But Beautiful on Bonus Tracks - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mfgzPYZQL.jpg) ![But Beautiful on Bonus Tracks - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51XFfwU+A5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great singer/A great recording *by P***7 on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2013* I don't understand why this 50's girl singer doesn't command more critical acclaim? Polk sings in a clear, sweet style that is sure to please. The original recordings and this remastering are well done with clean, natural sound. Come to think of it, this is a perfect example of the 1950's "golden age of recording". This level of natural sound seems to be a lost art. Even fine recording efforts by contemporary artists like Diana Krall and Tierney Sutton don't reach this level of refinement. Highly recommended not only for the sound quality but also for a great pop singer who stands tall with the great singers of that wonderful era. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great listening! *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2018* I am really enjoying this CD. Velvet voice and great music! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lucy Ann Polk could sing like crazy *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2016* Lucy Ann Polk could sing jazz as well as anybody. And she was backed here by Marty Paich, merely one of the best big band guys on the left coast. This record is a national treasure. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11625114-but-beautiful-on-bonus-tracks](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11625114-but-beautiful-on-bonus-tracks) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
