Movies Broadway Singers and Beyond Internet Radio Station Hosted by Sherry
When I was very young and watched the Academy Awards, I would always root for my favorite. When Elizabeth Taylor won in 1966 for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, my friends and I were cheering in my dorm room at NYU. I hoped Richard Burton would win also. I believed he needed it more than Elizabeth. I think she felt the same way. She had already won an Oscar and his ego needed a boost. It was not to be.
In those days, I always had a song that I rooted for. Sometimes it would win but sometimes not.
On Sunday, February 26th, Movies Broadway Singers and Beyond will pay tribute to many of the songs that won Academy Awards and many of those that were nominated. Frequently, the nominees were better than the winners, but that is one person’s opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. So, we won’t go there.
Have fun with this one. Steve Lawrence once recorded an album called Academy Award Losers. No, Steve, they weren’t losers, they were nominees and so many were extraordinary.
On this show we pay tribute to performers like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Monica Mancini, Dimitri Tiomkin, John Williams and many more. The show begins with The Continental done by the Cincinnati Pops, and we close with Elmer Bernstein’s memorable Walk on the Wild Side.
I had so many songs for this show that I have it scheduled for two parts. This is part one, so be on the lookout for part two. Enjoy!
With a song in my heart,
Sherry
