I own about 4 Ethel Smith LPs -- they tend to be quite upbeat, lively, often with over-the-top arrangements. Her sound reminds me a bit of Raymond Scott and his Looney Tunes cartoon sounds.

I always thought they should be a battle of the organ sounds, between Ethel Smith and Lenny Dee - each of these artists (that pop up frequently in thrifts) released at least 20 LPs featuring an upbeat sound.
