5.0 out of 5 stars A historical gem, August 6, 2000

This review is from: Cabin In The Sky (1940 Original Broadway Cast) / Porgy And Bess (1970 Studio Cast) / Carib Song (1945 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)

This extraordinarily valuable album captures wonderful music and wonderful performances from a different era. It takes you back to the days when all of this music was fresh and new. I'm sorry that it wasn't what the other reviewer expected, but she shouldn't have given it a single star. She expected steak. She got lobster. Her mistake, not the lobster's.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is the orig cast from 1935. Not what I was hoping for!, July 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cabin In The Sky (1940 Original Broadway Cast) / Porgy And Bess (1970 Studio Cast) / Carib Song (1945 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)

The music features Ethel Waters Mabel Mercer, Todd Duncan ... from the broadway cast in the 30'. I was hoping for the mostion picture sound track in the 60's with Sammy Davis Jr., Pearl Baily, Dorthy Dandridge, ... This was very disapointing for me.
