Description
The latest release in Retrospective's phenomenal "The Songs Of..." series devoted to the all-time great songsmiths is a unique tribute to one of the supreme popular songwriters of the 20th century, RICHARD WHITING (1891-1938). His songs were among the iconic sounds of the age with such timeless evergreens as Till We Meet Again, Sleepy Time Gal, She's Funny That Way and Guilty. From the early days of 'talkies' Whiting was among the most successful of Hollywood composers, with a long string of film hits including Louise, My Ideal, Too Marvelous For Words and the theme of Tinseltown, Hooray For Hollywood. 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: Doris Day, daughter Margaret Whiting, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby, Dick Haymes, The Boswell Sisters and so many more.
