Distributor: RED Distribution Notes: Classic songs by George & Ira Gershwin are easy to find, and great versions by various singers always available. Of these 12 unexpected pairings, not a single one of them is sung definitively, or known as a signature by any of these legendary vocalists. The closest would be Ella Fitzgerald interpreting "I Got Rhythm." A good collection, not essential by any means, but one that could prompt you to play a game. List the compositions in one column, the vocalists in an opposite column, and draw lines between the two to identify which singer is best known for doing that song, as opposed to the one credited on this CD. You might find you can connect most of them. ~ Michael G. Nastos
