ETHEL MERMAN

THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS: THE ETHEL MERMAN COLLECTION
Description:
Ethel Merman was about halfway through her 30 year career of creating roles on Broadway when the record companies finally started recording original cast albums on a regular basis in the mid '40s. Nevertheless, Merman had preserved contemporary performances of some of her best known songs from her shows of the 1930s for such labels as RCA Victor, Brunswick, and Decca. Decca recorded Merman's 1946 hit musical Annie Get Your Gun, and in 1947 she re recorded her early hits for the Decca album Songs She Has Made Famous. She also made a non cast album of songs from her 1950 show Call Me Madam for Decca and cut some non show recordings for the label as well. Along with three tracks licensed from Sony's cast album for the 1959 musical Gypsy, it is the Decca material that makes up the present collection. Short of more extensive licensing, it may be the most comprehensive Merman compilation we can hope for. Includes seven re recordings of songs like "I Got Rhythm," "You're the Top," and "I Get a Kick Out of You".
