Hello Young Lovers is a studio album by singer Nancy Wilson issued in July 1962 on Capitol Records.[1] The album rose to No. 4 on the Billboard Vocal Jazz Albums chart.[2]

Overview

Hello Young Lovers was produced by Tom Morgan and arranged by Milt Raskin. George Shearing also arranged the strings and played harpsichord on the LP.

Reception

Billboard magazine noted that she "shows off her own, stylish way with a pop song on this album cover over a lush string choir" and declared that the "Lass does a fine job here".

Stephen Cook of Allmusic proclaimed that the LP "contains Wilson's standard program of easy swingers and ballads that show off her impeccable phrasing while sporting George Shearing's luxurious string charts in hits like "Little Girl Blue" and "Back in Your Own Backyard." He noted that "one also hears Wilson's burgeoning talent for vocal drama as she evokes a variety of moods" as "the listening pleasure is found mostly in her signature urbane pop sound".
