Mitty debuted in 1961 with ‘Gotta Get Away From It All’, arranged and produced, respectively, by Riley Hampton and Roquel “Billy” Davis, legends to aficionados of Chicago soul. Her Chess swansong, released in 1968, was a new version of the same number (but with the firearm reference excised), recorded at Fame Studios in Alabama with producer Rick Hall. She first figured on the charts in 1963 with ‘I’m Your Part-Time Love’, an answerback to Little Johnny Taylor’s ‘Part-Time Love’. The record with which Mitty Collier will always be associated, the classic ‘I Had A Talk With My Man’, charted in 1964. Like its follow-up, ‘No Faith, No Love’, it was an adaptation of a number from the pen of leading gospel songerwriter James Cleveland. ‘Sharing You’, released in 1966, was Mitty’s only other hit.

A decade ago, Chess themselves released a compilation of Mitty Collier recordings, but that (now long deleted and much sought after) CD concentrated on her album. Kent’s brand new “Shades Of Mitty Collier” collection, on the other hand, focuses on her singles. Each of her 15 A-sides is included, along with nine B-sides not previously released on CD. All but three of the tracks are in stereo.
