The original Broadway production of MY FAIR LADY, as heard on this 1956 recording, not only made stars of Rex Harrison (already an established actor) and Julie Andrews, it introduced a host of unforgettable tunes into the Great American Songbook. "On the Street Where You Live," "I Could Have Danced All Night," "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," each has been sung so many times by so many performers that it's easy to forget who laid down the definitive versions. Throughout the show, Harrison's charisma-laded sprechtstimme and Andrews's bell-like tones provide the perfect contrast for each other, not to mention the perfect vehicle for this rich set of songs.
