CARMICHAEL WILL NEVER BE OUT OF FASHION, March 13, 2001
This review is from: Portrait of (Audio CD)
A collection offering most of CARMICHAEL's mostly remembered songs between the late twenties until 1950 is always a good buy.This one has HOAGY singing his own songs the way only him could do in his sleepy kind of SOUTHERN grace.The same can be said of his friend JOHNNY MERCER with whom he wrote many songs.If you've never heard them sing their songs you miss something.Those SOUTHERN guys were easy living characters who had a special kind of charm.STARDUST is there in it's piano version;ROCKIN'CHAIR with a young LOUIS ARMSTRONG in a duet;many other duets and other delights make this a perfect compagnon to the CAPITOL singers singing his songs.But as you may remember there was a song that BING CROSBY used to sing that's not included here why?It was IN THE COOL COOL COOL OF THE EVENING from the film HERE COMES THE GROOM.Sorry, but you can't have everything.
