IRVING BERLIN
Unsung Irving Berlin
Sal Viviano, Klea Blackhurst, Guy Haines, Gregory Ibara, Liz Callaway, Lynnette Perry, Harry Groener
[ Varese Sarabande / 2 CD Box Set ]
Release Date: Monday 9 January 1995
This two-CD set examines 31 Berlin works that were either cut from shows or films, have faded from memory or were never heard from at all.
In most cases, their obscurity is not surprising, ranging from bouncy '20s tunes to forgettable musical comedy specialty numbers. But some fascinating oddities are included: "But I Ain't Got a Man," written for Marilyn Monroe in "There's No Business Like Show Business" (and eventually dropped); "I Don't Wanna Be Married, I Just Wanna Be Friends," a 1932 tune extolling the virtues of living together; "Two Cheers Instead of Three," revealing the satiric side of Berlin's patriotism.
