Description:
Pearl capitalized on her star turn as Maria in the film version of 'Porgy & Bess'. This 1959 album features the legendary performer tearing her way through the Gershwin songbook. In this collection, Pearl Bailey, assisted by "The wonderful voices of The Ambassadors," has carved six immortal songs from the beautiful score of 'Porgy & Bess' and has added another six timeless Gershwin favorites. To each one, she brings a different interpretation, her own brand of warmth, humor, her own touch of melancholy and undiluted joy. |
