  • Description

    Here is a unique tribute to one of the great songwriters of the 20th century, Vincent Youmans (1898-1946). The 16th release in Retrospective's phenomenal "The Songs Of . . ." series devoted to the all-time great songsmiths salutes the man who wrote Tea For Two. Youmans created so many songs that have become popular evergreens, including I Want To Be Happy, Hallelujah, The Carioca, Sometimes I'm Happy, More Than You Know, Time On My Hands, Without A Song and Great Day. As with each volume in this series, a wonderful roster of artists has been assembled, many of whom were the first performers, or were particularly associated with the songs: Fred Astaire, Connee Boswell, Al Bowlly, Nelson Eddy, Doris Day (four songs from her Youmans film Tea For Two) and so many more. And as a bonus there is the jazz magic of Art Tatum's amazing Tea For Two.
