    Lyrics from Gold Standards: 40 Classics from the Great American Songbook

  • Ol' Man River - Paul Robeson

    • All Music Guide Review

    This double-disc, 40-track collection brings together classic songs written by the likes of George & Ira Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Hoagy Carmichael sung by artists like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan. It's a budget set with no frills, but how can you go wrong with songs like these sung by some of the greatest vocalists of the 20th century? A steal. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
