One of only three albums released in her lifetime, Showcase was the first
set of sessions after her near-death in a car crash in 1961. The recordings
teamed her up with the Jordanaires and produced the hits "Crazy"
and "I Fall to Pieces" as well as new, more stylized versions
of "Walkin' After Midnight" and that single's original flip,
"A Poor Man's Roses (Or a Rich Man's Gold)." This release features
the second cover photo that was issued after her death, replacing the
original cover art.
