Nor, as the title indicates, is the album given over entirely to Mercer. There are two ringers, both debut recordings: "Ask Me Again," a George and Ira Gershwin song discovered by Michael Feinstein, who accompanies Rosemary Clooney in performing it, and "Time You Old Gypsy Man," lyricist E.Y. Harburg's final song. Other performers include Eydie Gorm?, Jennifer Holliday, and Anita O'Day. Highlights include "I Wonder What Became of Me" from the musical St. Louis Woman by Henrietta Valor, "Out of This World" by Judy Garland-imitator Jim Bailey, and the comic "I Fought Every Step of the Way" by Laura Kenyon, Armelia McQueen, and Mary Gordon Murray. ~ William Ruhlmann |
