DESCRIPTION:
Recorded in 1957. From the personal collection of Anthony Barcia. In 1957 Wynona's first record of the year is #600 - "What Do You Know About Love" and "Heartbreak Mel". Two months later #628 is released - "The Things You Do To Me" and "Touch And Go", and soon after Specialty #650 - "If I Pray" / "I'm Mad At You". There were two more releases on Specialty that year for Wynona - #678 - "Give Me Your Hand To Hold" and "How Many Times" and #683 - "An Old fashioned Love" and "Someday, Somewhere, Somehow". In late 1957 Carr was diagnosed with TB and she withdrew from performing or recording. When she had recovered enough in 1959 she left Specialty after a decade and signed with Frank Sinatra's new label Reprise Records. However nothing much became of that association, and Wynona Carr returned to her hometown of Cleveland. She was contented to remain in and around her home town and played club dates sparingly over the next few years. By 1970 Wynona had decided to retire from all performing. In the early seventies she suffered from deteriorating health and until she passed away in Cleveland in 1976.
