Full booklet notes with all dates, accompanists, film titles-inside !
“All the Songs and performances here are ‘unforgettable’ in that true sense that is so often abused nowadays. All came to fame in films of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s (‘Singin’ in the Rain, Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, High Noon ….) and will never, ever, go away !” (MusicalMerit)
