| I'd like to add that the original choice for Billy in the film of CAROUSEL was Frank Sinatra....so deal with that as you will. I am not a musician or composer, but if I WAS, I'd want to hear my music song as well as it possibly could be. Leontyne Price's version of Rodgers and Hart's "Nobody's Heart" is sublime. | |

| Yes it is as is her Right as the Rain, but both are songs that lend to her side of the divide. She chose her popular material very carefully and very well. | |

| ***Leontyne Price's version of Rodgers and Hart's "Nobody's Heart" is sublime.*** I absolutely LOVE that recording, and most of the rest of Price's "pop" album. |

| Yes, superb album. Some recognition must go, however, to Andre Previn who was conductor/pianist/arranger. | |

| "Some recognition must go, however, to Andre Previn who was conductor/pianist/arranger." Yes, of course. Beautiful work from Previn. The only negative aspect of his participation is that, unfortunately, two tracks on the album were used for two very mediocre songs he himself wrote with his the wife, Dory, when they could have been used to have Price sing two more great classics. But, whatever, it's still a wonderful album. |
