Claudine Longet, the very model of the breathy, sexy French waif as the US and world audience perceived her - film star, TV star, singer/notsinger, a fey presence in a beautiful forest, where The A&M SOUND enveloped her in an embrace of Bossa Nova and reverb while Nick De Caro and Tommy Lipuma, masters of The A&M Soun, took us all on a journey where being a singer or not a singer didn't matter as long as the languid erotic vibe was there. A journey where A.C. Jobim came and wrote and played, where there was a PARTY, and Henry Mancini wrote, as he had done for Audrey Hepburn, the perfect song/notsong, for the ethereal beauty Claudine to sing/notsing as Peter Sellers desperately searched for the bathroom and Blake Edwards collapsed laughing. A magical person in a magical world, in a magical time, "Sleep Safe And Warm" never had a more definitive reading, as Claudine brought her own take on 'vaga' to the non-latino world, and if you know what that all means you'll RUSH out and buy this...
