1	Bye Bye Birdie [Original Soundtrack] [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Original Sountrack Like all Broadway musicals, Bye Bye Birdie underwent some changes on its way to the big screen. In the case of this show, a parody of the 1950s rock & roll fervor that took off from Elvis Presley's departure for the army, the main alteration had to do with the balance of emphasis among the characters. Although it was an ensemble piece, on-stage ... see all copies from $9.39! new only from $9.39!
2	Broadway: My Way (1964) more music like this by Nancy Wilson This fine album was one of many solid Capitol releases Nancy Wilson cut during the first half of the '60s. Having already visited Tinseltown's back catalog on Hollywood My Way, Wilson now turns to the wealth of Broadway songs for this 1964 offering. Along with material from familiar shows like Bye Bye Birdie "A Lot of Livin' to Do"), The King and ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.63!
3	On the Street Where You Live/The Liveliest (2003) more music like this by Vic Damone While Vic Damone was always a pleasant and talented singer, he wasn't particularly hip or jazz-influenced in the way Frank Sinatra was. That said, he always surrounded himself with excellent musicians and swinging arrangements that made the best of his abilities. EMI's two-fer On The Street Where You Live/The Liveliest combines two of Damone's ... see all copies from $11.07! new only from $11.07!
4	Merman in Vegas (1963) more music like this by Ethel Merman In the early '60s, following three decades of creating characters in Broadway musicals, Ethel Merman accepted an engagement at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas that was billed as her world-premiere nightclub appearance, a claim that conveniently forgot her nightclub work in New York in the late '20s and early '30s. But the Merman, now in her early ... see all copies from $10.28! new only from $10.28!
5	A Lot of Livin' to Do (2007) more music like this by Jonathan Poretz A Lot of Livin' to Do introduces Jonathan Poretz, an impressive new crooner whose singing sometimes recalls Mel Tormé (particularly on the more up-tempo material) but is fresh and original within the genre. Poretz has an attractive voice, he swings, and he shows versatility on the high-quality standards. High points include "A Lot of Livin' to Do, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.73!
6	Live at the Bohemian Caverns (2007) more music like this by Carla Thomas Carla Thomas' recordings for Stax Records had more of a pop sheen than most of the other artists on the label's roster, and her sides often featured involved orchestration and a distinct, almost Motown feel. She single-handedly put the label on the map with her "Gee Whiz (Look at His Eyes)" hit in 1961, which broke into the charts when she was ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!
7	For Those Who Think Young (2001) more music like this by Joanie Sommers For Those Who Think Young is divided into two halves, with one side each of studio big-band recordings and similar live recordings made in 1961. Sommers begins with "A Lot of Livin' to Do" from Bye Bye Birdie (her version of "One Boy" from the same musical was her first charting hit) and covers a dozen standards and show tunes such as "'Round ... see all copies from $9.54! new only from $9.54!
8	Dissertation on the State of Bliss (2005) more music like this by Laura Welland The cycle of love lost and found is the stated theme of Laura Welland's sophomore recording. A wealth of standards are put together in something of a chronological order to depict the forms of love and the desire for love over one's lifetime. The album opens with a series of "young love"-themed songs, full of vim and vigor with honesty and ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $10.41!
9	Standards (1967) more music like this by Lee Morgan This session headed by trumpeter Lee Morgan was not initially released until this 1998 CD. Morgan is joined by an all-star cast of James Spaulding on flute and alto, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, baritonist Pepper Adams, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Mickey Roker, but the music overall is not all that memorable. Most of ... see all copies from $10.59! new only from $10.59!
10	Ivory Impact (1987) more music like this by Roger Williams His piano embellishments as precise as ever, the great Roger Williams puts his unique style on Paul McCartney classics "My Love," "With a Little Luck," and "Mull of Kintyre" on a double set of vinyl discs that was a product of McCartney's MPL Communications. Distributed by Bainbridge Records, the Ivory Impact album is a sophisticated blend of ... see all copies from $1.99!
11	A Lot of Livin' (2004) more music like this by Deborah Tranelli Deborah Tranelli is a veteran actress and singer who loves music from many eras and styles, as her ability to adapt to the mood of any song is immediately apparent. Her rich alto effortlessly conveys the message of each piece as she is accompanied by a sympathetic group of musicians. She conveys her playful side in "A Lot of Livin' to Do" and in ... see all copies from $6.54! new only from $6.54!

18 view cover	Great Day! Rare Recordings from The Judy Garland Show (2006) more music like this by Judy Garland Judy Garland's television program of 1963-1964 was not a popular success (it lost a shootout with Bonanza, which aired at the same time), but during its six-month run it produced a wealth of great performances -- as video collections have proved. This, the third compilation from Savoy Jazz to compile her television recordings, has a different tack ... see all copies from $10.71! new only from $10.71!

20 view cover	Ladies and Gentlemen, Sammy Davis, Jr. (2006) more music like this by Sammy Davis, Jr. This 14-track collection of material by Sammy Davis, Jr. is sorely needed.
