In the late 1970s Rosemary Clooney made a comeback. Unlike many of her contemporaries she was successful, as she chose to concentrate on the jazz-influenced pop "standards" she liked best, rather than trying to repeat her earlier commercial successes. 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.
