Description
A glittering roll call of Hollywood and showbusiness royalty, this CD brings together some of the most beloved entertainers of the golden era in one irresistible collection. Judy Garland’s eternally moving ‘Over The Rainbow’ sits alongside Al Jolson’s barnstorming ‘Swanee’ and Sammy Davis Jr.’s magnetic take on ‘That Old Black Magic’. The disc also captures the warmth and wit of the era’s great comedians, with Bob Hope and Shirley Ross delivering the wistful ‘Thanks For The Memory’ and a wonderfully chaotic performance of ‘Black Strap Molasses’ uniting Groucho Marx, Danny Kaye, Jimmy Durante, and Jane Wyman. A joyful snapshot of an era when stage presence and musical charisma were one and the same…
