She undertook classical music training, hoping for a career in opera. The Depression intervened. Three days after leaving high school, she joined her sisters to form the Stafford Sisters Trio. They worked first on radio, graduating to singing 'off camera' vocals for movie musicals, backing stars like Fred Astaire and Alice Faye. When a sister married, the trio disbanded. With two male singing groups 'The Four Esquires' and 'The Three Rhythm Kings', they formed an octet - The Pied Pipers. Their main work was on radio commercials. They were 'discovered' by Eli Oberman, who offered them a one-disc deal. Those historic sides, dating from 1939, are featured here, as are two 'Pipers' RCA recordings made the same year. Success was short. In 1939 they lost their radio show and broke up. Reformed as a quartet, they joined Tommy Dorsey. Their first Dorsey recordings were in February 1940, and one of that day's titles - What Can I Say (After I've Said I'm Sorry) is included here, as is Jo's first solo hit For You. During WW2, Jo's voice represented a link with home - her voice was broadcast on Armed Forces Radio and recorded on forces-only 'V' Discs. Touring with the band, Jo and the Pipers won an army of fans - but it was not to last. The Pipers were the object of one of Dorsey's tantrums and they walked out. Capitol Records signed them. Jo's first Capitol release, Old Acquaintance, entered the charts, but it was two movie-related hits - Long Ago (and Far Away) and The Trolley Song that made her a star. Success prevailed during the late 1940s and the early 1950s. Then came Rock 'n' Roll. Hit Parade success began to pass her by, but Jo carried on. In 1961 she moved to London, to film a high budget, thirteen-week TV series to feature many of the era's top artists. It was distributed worldwide. On her return to the States Jo recorded with a series of labels, but her career slowly ran down. It was a decent run. Review: Just the Best - I have read the other reviews very care fully, and therefore my comments are as follows. Without doubt Jo Stafford was the very best at all of her interpretations. Other singers did not have her wonderful control and expression. To the lady who gave this collection 1 star, just because this version of "Blue Moon" did not have the Pied Pipers as an accompanists, it is available but on another 4 CD set released I think in 2011. To give this collection 1 star is ridiculous, just because 1 song is not what you expected. So, let me say this is a superb set, very well restored. To those who didn't like the recorded quality, go out and buy some better audio equipment, yours is obviously deficient some where. Nigel Review: This must be where my father learned the songs he sang to us when we were children. - This CD has many old and familiar songs. I first heard them sung by my father, long before I had heard of Jo Stafford. The lyrics of those old songs are so well crafted. I especially like “I’ll Be Seeing You”. The music brings back many wonderful memories. ## Images ![Jo Stafford: 108 Classic Sides from a Great American Hitmaker - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AC-BzVx7L.jpg) ![Jo Stafford: 108 Classic Sides from a Great American Hitmaker - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bFxlGc0mL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the Best *by N***Y on December 1, 2015* I have read the other reviews very care fully, and therefore my comments are as follows.

I first heard them sung by my father, long before I had heard of Jo Stafford. The lyrics of those old songs are so well crafted. I especially like “I’ll Be Seeing You”. The music brings back many wonderful memories. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good all around collection! *by J***S on July 3, 2018* This is a very nice collection starting from the late 1930's through the 1950's. All tracks presented are clean and clear, and what's nice are the rare and hard to find "V-Discs". Her music and the sounds of that era were way before my time, but I have a love for GOOD music and this Jo Stafford collection is good music. Considering the age of the recordings they cleaned them up nicely. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/7282235-jo-stafford-108-classic-sides-from-a-great-american-hitmaker](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/7282235-jo-stafford-108-classic-sides-from-a-great-american-hitmaker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
