Just found a mint copy of this in my late father's collection.... thanks to YouTube I get to hear what it sounds like. Irene had gorgeous voice & exceptional sensibilities.

A friend turned me on to Irene Kral's recordings about ten years back, playing first for me the WHERE IS LOVE album. I was immediately on board. Thank you for this fantastic post of a sophisticated, moody, intriguing recording. I learned "Small Day Tomorrow" from Janis Siegel's 1987 solo album, AT HOME - and clearly Janis learned it from Irene. In searching for Janis' version, I happily found she actually made a video for the song. https://youtu.be/gAtJXSodaDQ

Right on—Her version is one of the best. Interesting too to hear the Jackie Cain (vocal) and Roy Kral (piano) 1955 recording, the first made of the song. It’s on YouTube.
