Description
The very best of Walter Donaldson is devoted to the great songwriter of the last century. From the title track, the five-million selling My Blue Heaven, and his breakthrough 1918 hit How Ya Gonna Keep ’Em Down On The Farm?, through to the 1987 hit for Nina Simone, My Baby Just Cares For Me, there are no fewer than 52 fine songs. It’s time to enjoy them all anew. The roster of artists is phenomenal, chosen here from performers of the time of each song’s publication. One difference this time is that, for some of the best-loved titles, there is the bonus of an additional later version, bringing in such artists as Frank Sinatra, Dick Haymes and The Temperance Seven.
