Description
From her 1960s Reprise LP plus others tracks. In Stereo. First Time on CD!
First time on CD and digitally re-mastered is this Ethel Merman album recorded with Billy May’s swinging and inventive orchestrations. Merman classics such as “I Got Rhythm”, “I Get A Kick Out Of You”, “You’re The Top” and “Friendship” emerge with a fresh, irresistible appeal that should win them renewed appreciation. Bonus tracks are from various sources – the Merman 1959 TV special “Merman on Broadway”, Merman “live” at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas and the final two tracks from a very special radio broadcast in 1937 as a tribute to the then recently departed George Gershwin where Merman sang “live” remembering her friend and mentor.
