Torchy is a 1955 album by jazz singer Carmen McRae arranged by Jack Pleis and Ralph Burns.[1][2]
Jason Ankeny desrcibed the album as "a lush, potently atmospheric collection of romantic ballads rendered for maximum impact" and that the "...sheer intensity of McRae's vocals render orchestration virtually moot. Few singers have equaled her conviction or her fierce intelligence, and her interpretations of songs like "But Beautiful," "My Future Just Passed," and "We'll Be Together Again" pack a devastating emotional punch."[1]
