Description
Florencia Vicenta de Casillas-Martínez Cardona (born July 19, 1940), known by her stage name Vikki Carr, is an American vocalist. She has a singing career that spans more than five decades.
Under the stage name “Vikki Carr” she signed with Liberty Records in 1962. Her first single to achieve success was “He’s a Rebel“, which in 1962. In 1966 her album It Must Be Him was nominated for three Grammy Awards.
These two Vikki Carr albums zero in on easy listening versions of popular love songs from the ’60s and early ’70s. The rather formulaic treatments work best on the well-known compositions of the period, especially “If You Could Read My Mind,” “For All We Know,” and “So Far Away.” Not an essential purchase for casual listeners, but fans who have been waiting for Carr’s LPs to make the switch to CD will appreciate it.
