Description
On the 20th of January 2009 Barack Obama was inaugurated as the president 44th of America. In his speech he said: "Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America". With those words he echoed the lyrics from the song Pick yourself up, written by Dorothy Fields in 1936. Dorothy Fields (July 15, 1904- March 28, 1974) was an American librettist and lyricist. She wrote over 400 songs, 15 Broadway musicals and 26 films. Her strong characterisations, her precise language and heartfelt and humorous approach has granted her a special place in the history of American music and popular culture. This album is a love letter to this remarkable woman who was way ahead of her time. - Isabella Lundgren
