Description:
By the time they joined forces, Sammy Davis Jr. and Carmen McRae had both fought long and hard to transcend their early influences Frank Sinatra for Davis, Billie Holiday for McRae. With Boy Meets Girl and the Gershwins' magnum opus, Porgy & Bess, they emerged as distinctive voices in their own right, laying claim to everything from classic Tin Pan Alley material to one of the most socially relevant works in the American canon. From tender and touching to full throttle exuberance, both sang as if their very lives were on the line. |
