Summary: Wonderful Treasury of Standards
Review: This book is wonderful. These are well-known songs, written by members of the Songwriters' Hall of Fame. Out of about 75, there were only four or five songs that I did not recognize. The collection is nicely varied, mixing old standards (like "My Funny Valentine") with more recent fare (like Lionel Ritchie's "Lady").Artists include: Fats Waller, Irving Berlin, Sammy Cahn, Joni Mitchell, Otis Redding, Johnny Mercer, Gus Kahn, Lionel Ritchie, Oscar Hammerstein II, Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers, Paul Anka, Betty Comden, Cole Porter, Roy Orbison, Hal David, Burt Bacharach, Stephen Sondheim, Arthur Freed, George Gershwin, Fred Ebb, John Kander, Carole Bayer Sager...and many others. Here is the complete list of included songs: Ain't Misbehavin' / Alexander's Ragtime Band / All The Way / April in Paris / As Time Goes By / The Best Things In Life Are Free / Body and Soul / Both Sides Now / Can You Read My Mind? / The Continental / Dancing in the Dark / (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay / The Entertainer / Great Balls of Fire / Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry / Happy Days Are Here Again / He Ain't Heavy...He's My Brother / Heart / The High and the Mighty / Hooray for Hollywood / How Do You Keep the Music Playing? / I Believe / I Love a Piano / I Only Have Eyes for You / I Wanna Be Loved By You / I'll Be Seeing You / I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy / If My Friends Could See Me Now / It Had To Be You / It's Only a Paper Moon / Killing Me Softly With His Song / Lady / Look for the Silver Lining / Lover, Come Back to Me / The Man That Got Away / Me & Mrs. Jones / Miss You / My Funny Valentine / My Own True Love (Tara's Theme) / My Way / New York, New York / Night and Day / Oh, Pretty Woman / On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever) / On the Street Where You Live / Over the Rainbow / P.S.
