Luego de un año la abandonó para seguir su carrera solista. Este álbum fue grabado entre diciembre de 1960 y enero de 1961 y originalmente lanzado por Atlantic Records. Profunda e íntima es la voz de Connor y con un enfoque confiado desarrolla un gran material magníficamente seleccionado. Respaldado por orquestas conducidas por Jimmy Jones o Ronnie Ball y con talentosos solistas como Clark Terry en trompeta y Hank Jones en piano, Connor sonó emotiva y capaz de ir desde la angustia a la intimidad y de emotividad a la alegría.
