| | Memories CD Ethel Merman Discography of CDs
This unlicensed reissue, taking advantage of the 50-year copyright limit on recordings in Europe, actually should have been called "MEMORIES/Selections from A MUSICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY," since it combines material from two albums Ethel Merman recorded in 1955. In between Broadway and Hollywood commitments, Merman recorded a rare solo LP in MEMORIES, the first ten tracks on this CD. It was a concept recording devoted to the popular music her mother might have sung to her as a child or that she might have heard before she became a stage star in the early 1930s, songs from Tin Pan Alley that were hits from the 1890s to the 1920s. A MUSICAL BIOGRAPHY collects some of the best songs with which Merman was associated, including compositions by George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin, and while these are not the original versions, they are well performed, with the introductions making for a recital-like effect.
