Movin'! is a studio album by Kay Starr. It was released in 1959 by Capitol Records (catalog no. T-1254).{{cite web|title=Kay Starr - Movin'!|publisher=Discogs|accessdate=December 22, 2020|url=https://www.discogs.com/Kay-Starr-Movin/release/4921189}} Produced by Dave Cavanaugh, it was her first album after returning to Capitol. While RCA Victor had her singing material with a pop orientation, the liner notes assert Capitol's intention to "reaffirm her status as a great jazz vocalist." She was backed on the album by an orchestra conducted by Van Alexander and a big band.{{cite web|title=Kay Starr, Movin'!, back cover|publisher=donkey-show.com|accessdate=December 22, 2020|url=https://www.donkey-show.com/?p=19652}}
