I couldnt disagree more with the previous review. I loved this! I only had a vague knowledge of K T Sullivan and never heard of Nadler, but I love Dorothy Fields songs so I took a chance on this. Weather together or alone they both shine on this offering. Sullivan has a beautiful voice and does well on the ballads (Dont Blame Me is especially fine), and also does well on some of the playful ones (He Had Refinement medley). Nadler sings with more gusto and has the more bombastic numbers. Their singing styles are as different as night and day, but somehow it all works. The only bad cut is I'm In the Mood for Love, which is ruined by pairing it with Digga Digga Do by Nadler. (Who thought that up? They dont go together at all!). I find myself playing this CD often. Wonderful songs (I discovered some new favorites too!) sung by 2 fine singers who love what they are singing! You cant go wrong with Dorothy Fields.

i heard KT Sullivan on a program in the UK and sent for this CD for which I waited a long time. It is the most disappointing Cd I have ever heard. What possessed KT Sullivan to team up with Nadler, I will never know. His arrangements are awful - do not suit her voice and the key changes are positively offensive. His piano playing is insensitive and I could not wait to put the CD in the Trash. GREAT SONGS - dreadfuly performed.

This songbook reveals very few gems that are attractively sung by Sullivan and Nader. KT has done much better (the Bart Howard songbook) and I long to see her find some great material and really shine again.
