Pearl Bailey Sings Porgy & Bess & Other Gershwin Melodies
CD (Item 492264) Collectors Choice, 1959 -- Condition: New Copy
A really wonderful take on Porgy & Bess and other Gershwin standards by Pearl Bailey -- there's just something about her naturally rich, bluesy, husky tone on these tunes that's simply wonderful! The backing is often well measured, but, occasionally a bigger sound and chorus vocals kick in. For the most part Pearl owns this stuff, giving warmth and resonance lost on more showbizzy takes on the style and compositions. Titles include "I Got Plenty Of Nothin". "I Got Rhythm", "Summertime", "Lady Be Good", "A Foggy Day", "They Can't Take That Away From Me", "Bess You Is My Woman", "It Ain't Necessarily So", "Clap Yo Hands" and more. © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
