Title: A Classic of the Phonograph(?)
Product review: When Maureen McGovern recorded this live CD in the early '90s, she was at her peak as both a chanteuse and a jazz singer. Sadly, she has since torn her vocal cords to shreds, developing nodes, and is no longer able to sing. Yet this particular album, containing both great and little-known Gershwin tunes, explains what all the fuss was about--why the late Johnny Green, Buddy Rich and Gershwin's sister Frankie were stunned and charmed by her singing. Just as there was only one Ella, there was only one Maureen, and though her career was only one-fourth as long as Ella's this is the album I most remember her by.
