The great American diva's "greatest hits" on RR

Eileen Farrell's operatic and concert career was the stuff of legend. "She is to sopranos what Niagara is to waterfalls," was not an overstatement. Then, she startled even her staunchest fans by appearing with Louis Armstrong, and proving that she had every right to sing the blues. It's easy to argue that Farrell invented "crossover." "My Very Best" is the producer's pick of choice tracks from the many programs Farrell recorded for RR--some with Loonis McGlohon's combo, some with the Robert Farnon Orchestra.
