1	Gershwin Plays Gershwin: The Piano Rolls (1993) more music like this by George Gershwin George Gershwin made 130 piano rolls between 1916-1927; 28 were recorded and released in 1998 on two Nonesuch CDs. This particular release has quite a few obscure Gershwin songs, including his very first tune, "When You Want 'Em, You Can't Get 'Em, When You've Got 'Em, You Don't Want 'Em." Certainly such tunes as "Novelette in Fourths," "So Am I," ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $16.52!
2	Sings the Cole Porter Song Book (1956) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald A striking two-CD set featuring arguably history's finest jazz singer singing some of the best-written American pop standards on one of jazz's most prolific labels. Ella Fitzgerald shines as the perfect interpreter of Cole Porter's bittersweet love songs on these 35 tracks from the Verve archives. Recorded and released on LP in 1956, Ella is ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $28.43!
3	It's De Lovely: The Authentic Cole Porter Collection (2004) more music like this by Cole Porter Whenever great American song in general, or a classic songwriter specifically, goes through another phase of popularity, record labels invariably cast around to assemble yet another round of songbook compilations with artists from their catalog interpreting the standards. In 2004, on the occasion of the Cole Porter biopic De-Lovely (starring Kevin ... see all copies from $7.19! new only from $7.56!
4	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Al Jolson (2001) more music like this by Al Jolson After recording successfully in the 1910s and being the top solo artist of the 1920s (according to chart researcher Joel Whitburn), Al Jolson stopped making records for 12½ years between 1932 and 1945, when he was lured back into the studio by Decca just prior to the comeback he scored due to the film biography The Jolson Story in 1946. He cut 71 ... see all copies from $7.26! new only from $8.66!

6	The Essential George Gershwin (2003) more music like this by George Gershwin Although there are a couple of pieces performed by George Gershwin himself, the rest of this two-CD, 41-track compilation, The Essential George Gershwin, is devoted to interpretations of his works. It's impressive in its stylistic and chronological sprawl, though inconsistent. Spanning 1925-2002 (though most of it predates 1970), the performances ... see all copies from $12.99! new only from $12.99!
7	Brunswick, Vol. 1 (2000) more music like this by The Boswell Sisters This is a first-rate collection, adapted from an old Columbia Special Products LP, and featuring the sister trio backed by the Dorsey Brothers band, which included, in addition to Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Eddie Lang, Joe Venuti, and Bunny Berigan. That's enough to make these 15 sides, recorded between March 19, 1931, and June 17, 1932, into virtual ... see all copies from $11.56! new only from $11.56!
8	My Huckleberry Friend (1996) more music like this by Johnny Mercer Recorded in London just two years before his death, My Huckleberry Friend includes nearly an hour and half of singer Johnny Mercer updating his own compositions. The American musical giant is accompanied by the Pete Moore Orchestra and the Harry Roche Constellation. Mercer's voice is solid throughout this 25-track record that marries his Tin Pan ... see all copies from $7.23! new only from $8.91!
9	Anything Goes [1988 Studio Cast] (1989) more music like this by 1988 Studio Cast According to theater historian Miles Kreuger, one of three annotators of this 1988 studio cast recording of Cole Porter's Anything Goes, the show "has proved to be the most frequently revived musical of the 1930s and is performed almost daily by professional and amateur groups alike." Even so, it was relatively unperformed in major venues and ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $14.43!
10	Capitol Collectors Series (1942) more music like this by Johnny Mercer Today we know Johnny Mercer mainly as the genius songwriter from Savannah, GA, and perhaps tend to forget that he was also one of the most prolific hitmaking singers of the 1940s. This excellent compendium of his hit singles, plus a pair of his most famous songs ("Blues in the Night" and "One for My Baby") from 78 rpm albums, will definitely give ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $10.79!

12 view cover	Beyond the Sea (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack For years, Kevin Spacey's dream project was a biopic on '60s crooner Bobby Darin, starring himself as the lead. After over a decade of struggling to get it made, he finally got a green light in the early 2000s to start production, not just as the lead actor, but as the director and producer of Beyond the Sea. One of Spacey's key decisions in the ... see all copies from $7.14! new only from $18.75!
13 view cover	Hooked on Swing, Vol. 1 (1986) more music like this by Various Artists From "Hooked on the Blue(s)" to "Hooked on Astaire, " Hooked on Swing is a fun romp through a number of favorite swing songs from all eras; the six medleys aren't meant for purists, only for those who want to have a good time with the tunes. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.95! new only from $11.85!
14 view cover	American Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster (1992) more music like this by Thomas Hampson Stephen Foster was the father of the popular song, and his music is indelibly stamped in the nation's consciousness. It is hard to believe that one man wrote "I Dream of Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair," "Camptown Races," "Beautiful Dreamer," and the heartbreaking "Hard Times Come Again No More." That's why this recording of his music is so ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $14.78!
15 view cover	An Evening with Dorothy Fields (1998) more music like this by Dorothy Fields The lag of 26 years between this performance by lyricist Dorothy Fields at the Lyrics & Lyricists series at the 92 Street YMHA in New York and its release on record is practically criminal. Fields had a remarkable career, from her early hits like "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" in the late 1920s to the Broadway musical Seesaw in 1973 (a year ... see all copies from $7.57! new only from $8.91!

18 view cover	The Best of Guy Lombardo: The Early Years (2003) more music like this by Guy Lombardo The Best of Guy Lombardo: The Early Years is a more intensive compilation than ASV/Living Era's The Band Played On -- 25 Number One Hits!, focusing on the first six years of Lombardo's recording career (1927-1935) and ensuring that every selection was a popular performance. All the more surprise, then, to find the Lombardo band's most popular song ... see all copies from $12.14! new only from $14.74!
19 view cover	30 #1 Hits of the '30s (2005) more music like this by Various Artists While there are a handful of various-artists compilations gathering songs from the Great Depression, few (if any) have packed so many "hit versions" into a single anthology as this 2004 release. The ever-increasing popularity of radio unified a nation wrought by financial and often personal turmoil. Of course, it also reflected the optimism and ... see all copies from $13.48! new only from $16.82!
20 view cover	The Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books (1956) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This admittedly pricey -- but by all means mandatory -- Grammy Award-winning box set is the final word on the "songbooks" recorded by Ella Fitzgerald between 1956 and 1964. In order of their initial release, contained within are Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book (1956), Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers & Hart Song Book (1956), Ella ... see all copies from $205.13! new only from $217.32!
21 view cover	It's Easy to Remember (2001) more music like this by Bing Crosby The European copyright law on recordings, which cuts off after only 50 years, is responsible for many shoddy compilations of the work of vintage artists, scratchy 78s from someone's collection transferred to disc and put out with little or no concern for quality. But it also allows for more respectable efforts, such as the series of four-CD box ... see all copies from $15.92! new only from $40.19!
22 view cover	Golden Years of Al Jolson (2005) more music like this by Al Jolson see all copies from $8.44! new only from $21.08!
23	Shall We Dance (1987) more music like this by Fred Astaire As Fred Astaire's recordings of the 1930s came into the public domain internationally in the 1980s, many record labels began issuing unlicensed compilations mastered from old 78 RPM albums, necessarily with iffy sound quality. The unusual wrinkle introduced by Australian sound engineer Robert Parker, who worked on this album, was to process the ... see all copies from $7.48! new only from $20.28!
24 view cover	Lady, Be Good! (1992) more music like this by George Gershwin A reconstruction of the 1924 George and Ira Gershwin musical featuring period recordings by Fred and Adele Astaire, George Gershwin himself, and others.
