The How Do We Keep The Music Playing album contains one of the best songs DSB ever took hold of. But the result, due to bad overproducing, sounded flat and unattractive, like all the tracks on this album.
Let's not forget, her best produced albums were made during the 70's. When one could see a true caring management as well as a production team with arrangers around her, with people like Norman Newell, Johnny Harris, Noel Rogers, Arthur Greenslade and Martin Rushent.
In the 60's she even worked with Nelson Riddle, by the way.
The 2 best produced albums in her later career are ofcourse The Performance and I Owe It All To You.
And I must say, the I Am What I Am album sounded superb as well, a true live digital recording, with the London Symphony Orchestra which sounded through a good music system like she was singing in your living room.
