4.0 out of 5 stars How can you go wrong with Harold Arlen?, August 8, 2002

A delicious Harold Score which Lena Horne was just born to sing. She is electrifying on this recording. This score isn't as good as "House Of Flowers", but it still gets repeat listens. "I Don't Think I'll End It All Today" is possibly the...strangest song for a Broadway musical I've ever heard. This is one of those great shows that Broadway will never see or hear again.

This was the first Broadway show I ever saw in my life. My cousin Augie Rios played the boy in it. I was 6 years old, and after that I got the fever. I met Ricardo Montalban, as a matter of fact, as they would say in Chorus Line, I had my little white hat, my little white gloves etc etc. It was the show that changed my life and I still have the album. Music has always been a part of my life since then. So to me this show rates a 10, and so does the album.
