She recorded a series of albums for Concord Jazz, the label run by jazz-loving millionaire Carl Jefferson. These were popular with jazz audiences and re-established her credibility, playing a part in the revival of interest in earlier styles of pop singing, which began in the 1980s. In addtion to her recordings, she made many personal appearances, recorded commercials for American TV - and also became known as the aunt of the actor George Clooney.

Clooney's career languished in the 1960s, partly due to problems related to depression and drug addiction, but revived in 1974, when her White Christmas co-star Bing Crosby asked her to appear with him at a show marking his 50th anniversary in show business. From the late 1970s until her death in 2002, she recorded a series of albums for the Concord Jazz record label with small ensembles which were warmly received by audiences and critics alike.
