Leny Eversong - Leny em Foco! (1957)

The story behind this singer is sometimes hard to believe. Leny Eversong was a renowned singer in the 50's, she made a solid career in the US and Europe as the main attraction during several seasons in Las Vegas Cassinos and recorded albums outside of Brazil, including a LP in France with Pierre Dorsey Orchestra. Her career collapsed in the early 70 and is getting a new breath with the Internet with albums sold by more than a hundred dollars on auction sites. This one seems to be one of the hardest to find. If you get pleased with it, thanks to zecalouro's mother, it was very wise of her to find it on a weekend trip to Minas Gerais.

This is Leny Eversong - Leny em Foco! (1957), for Copacabana. This was probably recorded before her US period; the back cover brings some photos with nightclubs with her name as the main attraction. Leny Eversong has passed in 1984 after a long fight against health and personal problems since her husband left home to buy cigarettes and never came back in the early 70's. Tracks include:
