Tracks played...
I got rhythm / The man I love / Liza / S'wonderful / Shall we dance / Fidgety feet / But not for me / I'll build a stairway to paradise / They can't take that away from me / Epilogue.

A nice recording,if a little dated, of this original film with some great Gershwin melodies. This show has to be seen to enjoy the music from this CD. There are preludes, Rhapsodies and concertos amongst the well known standards which are vocalised well but not really that exciting. ***.
