1	Ultimate Broadway (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Following in the footsteps of other installments in Arista's Ultimate series, Ultimate Broadway is an excellent sampler of some of the greatest songs and performances in the history of the Great White Way. Almost all of the 40 songs on the two discs in this collection are performed by the original Broadway casts, which makes it an excellent ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
2	The Best of Broadway [Rhino] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino's The Best of Broadway shouldn't necessarily be seen as a definitive overview of Broadway show tunes, which, after all, have a rich and varied history. Instead, it should be seen as an affordable, diverse, and, at 20 tracks, generous introduction to the glorious riches of the Great White Way. True, the featured tracks aren't necessarily the ... see all copies from $3.29! new only from $11.11!
3	Post Card (1969) more music like this by Mary Hopkin Paul McCartney produced this debut album of twee but pretty, romantic pop-folk. Besides "Those Were the Days" (which actually originally appeared only on the British version, though it's on the CD reissue now available throughout the world), the highlights are Donovan's "Lord of the Reedy River" and "The Honeymoon Song," which McCartney himself ... see all copies from $10.49! new only from $15.00!
4	Come by Me (1999) more music like this by Harry Connick, Jr. By 1999, Harry Connick, Jr. found himself in a curious place. Undoubtedly, he was one of the artists that kick-started the whole neo-swing movement that peaked in the late '90s. However, he was always too serious and traditional -- too much of a musician, really -- to fit in with the likes of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Furthermore, he was too ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.00!
5	Portrait of Sinatra: Columbia Classics (1943) more music like this by Frank Sinatra The beauty of any Frank Sinatra collection is that, depending upon how it is put together by the producers for whatever purpose they have in mind, each one allows the listener to focus on a different aspect of the singer's work and pick out new and varied details. On one level, this double-CD set is a good compromise for listeners who aren't ... see all copies from $9.66! new only from $22.73!
6	Somewhere Over the Rainbow: The Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals (2002) more music like this by Various Artists As part of its pact with Turner Entertainment, which controls the vaults of several of the great movie studios, Rhino Records has issued many compilations of soundtrack material from the movie musicals of the 1930s to the 1960s. Somewhere Over the Rainbow: The Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals is an attempt to present the musical highlights of the ... see all copies from $11.76! new only from $17.90!
7	Little Voice (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $2.98! new only from $17.79!
8	Only Broadway CD You'll Ever Need (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Despite its deliberately provocative title, RCA Victor's The Only Broadway CD You'll Ever Need really claims only to "give an overview of what 'Broadway' music is about," according to compiler Bill Rosenfield. What it really does is survey the last 50 years of theater music from the point of view of the most popular songs from the genre available ... see all copies from $8.39! new only from $8.39!
9	The Complete Prestige Recordings (1949) more music like this by Sonny Rollins This seven-CD box set lives up to its title, reissuing in chronological order all of tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' recordings for Prestige. Dating mostly from 1951-1956, these valuable performances find Rollins developing from a promising player to a potential giant; many of his best recordings would take place a year or two after this program ... see all copies from $81.62! new only from $81.62!
10	Annie Get Your Gun [1999 Broadway Revival Cast] (1999) by 1999 Broadway Revival Cast Although the role of Annie Oakley in Irving Berlin's 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun was written for and most closely associated with bold and brassy Ethel Merman, the part has been effectively interpreted by other actress/singers with less bravura approaches. Betty Hutton brought her usual dizzy energy to the 1950 film version, for example, while ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $15.81!
11 view cover	Broadway: The American Musical (2004) more music like this by Various Artists This five-CD box set, containing 106 tracks and running six-and-one-third-hours, is an audio companion to the six-part PBS documentary series Broadway: The American Musical, but not the soundtrack to that series. Rather, it is a sampler covering 84 years of recordings and 99 years of show tunes. One song has been chosen from each of 102 musicals. ... see all copies from $35.19! new only from $50.06!
12 view cover	Party Tyme Karaoke: Show Tunes, Vol. 1 (2005) more music like this by Karaoke see all copies from $7.99! new only from $13.71!
13 view cover	Four on the Aisle (2000) more music like this by The Four Lads Four on the Aisle was originally issued in 1959 on Columbia and had been out of print until being reissued in 2001 on Collectables. This pleasant vocal set includes standards taken from classic Broadway musicals from the pens of Cole Porter (Kiss Me, Kate), Rodgers & Hart (Babes in Arms), and Irving Berlin (Annie Get Your Gun). The Ray Ellis ... see all copies from $14.38! new only from $14.52!
14 view cover	The Ford 50th Anniversary Television Show (1953) more music like this by Mary Martin On June 15, 1953, the Ford Motor Company sponsored a two-hour television special to celebrate its 50th year of existence that was broadcast live on both CBS and NBC. Guests included Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Rudy Vallée, and Eddie Fisher, but the highlight of the show was a medley performed by Broadway's two leading female stars, Mary Martin and ... see all copies from $11.01! new only from $11.01!
15 view cover	Ballad Essentials (2002) more music like this by Susannah McCorkle Noted for the beauty of her voice and ability to freshen up the most tired lyric, Susannah McCorkle left behind an impressive and large body of work at the time of her death in 2001. Ballad Essentials concentrates onMcCorkle's softer side, collecting a dozen pieces recorded for Concord between 1983 and 2000. A remarkable cadre including Ken ... see all copies from $11.96! new only from $12.08!
16 view cover	Forbidden Broadway: Special Victims Unit (2005) more music like this by Original Off-Broadway Cast With 23 years having passed since the inception of Forbidden Broadway, parodist Gerard Alessandrini's continually updated off-Broadway revue is up to eight recorded volumes with this edition, subtitled, with a nod to a certain TV series known for giving work to New York theater actors, "Special Victims Unit." Using a pianist and a talented cast of ... see all copies from $9.90! new only from $14.83!
17 view cover	Annie Get Your Gun [1990 Studio Cast] (1991) by 1990 Studio Cast Annie Get Your Gun, the highly regarded musical about Annie Oakley joining Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, was originally conceived as a vehicle for Ethel Merman. Annie was the blockbuster success they had hoped for -- running for 1, 147 performances -- but it was also a completely successful musical outside of its commercial bankability. ... see all copies from $19.95!
18 view cover	Heatwave: Patti LuPone Sings Irving Berlin (1995) more music like this by Patti LuPone see all copies from $3.87!
19 view cover	There's No Business Like Show Business: The Collection (1997) more music like this by Ethel Merman Ethel Merman was about halfway through her 30-year career of creating roles on Broadway when the record companies finally started recording original cast albums on a regular basis in the mid-'40s. Nevertheless, Merman had preserved contemporary performances of some of her best-known songs from her shows of the '30s for such labels as RCA Victor, ... see all copies from $10.00!

22 view cover	Show Stoppers, Too! (2004) more music like this by Various Artists New York-based independent label DRG Records certainly doesn't have the market on cast recordings to itself; the major labels still issue most of the original Broadway cast albums, and there are other competitors in the field. But 28 years into its existence, DRG continues to devote itself primarily to show music, and this sampler of cast ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $12.82!
23 view cover	How Do You Keep the Music Playing? (1985) more music like this by Susannah McCorkle Susannah McCorkle's second Pausa album is highlighted by a remarkable version of "There's No Business Like Show Business." Usually performed in razzle-dazzle style, the song is drastically slowed down and treated as a dramatic ballad by McCorkle, and she shows that the words are actually quite touching. Also on the diverse set are the singer's ... see all copies from $7.36! new only from $10.44!
24 view cover	Broadway Blockbusters/Broadway Spectacular (2006) more music like this by Stanley Black Stanley Black based two dynamic Phase 4 Stereo LPs on themes from Broadway musicals, surrounding himself with the London Festival Orchestra & Chorus. Every single track on the first half of the disc ("There's No Business Like Show Business" through "Hello Dolly") features the Chorus right up front, brightly barking the lyrics directly into the ... see all copies from $7.90! new only from $20.85!
25 view cover	Annie Get Your Gun [Original TV Soundtrack] (1957) more music like this by Original TV Soundtrack Mary Martin and Ethel Merman ranked as the two most important female performers in the Broadway theater from the 1930s to the 1960s. But they almost never played the same part. The exception is the role of Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun. Merman originated the part on Broadway in 1946; Martin headed the national tour that began in 1947. The two ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $11.13!
