Title: The Forgotten Comeback Of Lillian Roth
Review: This is a marvelous album but, like an earlier review points out, is not a collection of her songs that made her originally hugely popular but is an album that she recorded just after the release of the movie biography about her "I'll Cry Tomorrow" starring Susan Hayward. However, that's what makes this album so wonderful to listen to. You hear a more mature yet still energetic and in fine voice Lillian Roth perform these superb songs including "Beyond My Worth" which she wrote herself and is a highlight of this cd. My personal favorite song here is "You Can't Take It With You, a spirited novelty tune which Lillian Roth raps as well, if not better, than any of today's rappers. Listening to it also makes you think about a connection between religious preaching and rap music which hadn't occurred to me before. Prime Lillian or not, most anyone who isn't familiar with Lillian will become a devoted fan after listening to this cd.
Is the review positive or negative?
