Cy Coleman, the youngest member of the elite group of Great American Songbook composers (Cole Porter, Irving
Berlin, George & Ira Gershwin), is honoured with an album of new recordings of his classic songs.
Cy Coleman was responsible for timeless songs such as “Witchcraft”, “The Best Is Yet To Come”, “Big Spender” and
“The Rules Of The Road” made timeless by artists like Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Barbara
Streisand, Dusty Springfield, Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee.
‘The Best Is Yet To Come - The Songs Of Cy Coleman’ is a provocative, cutting-edge album featuring inspiring
interpretations by a select group of gifted contemporary female artists. Fiona Apple contributes two songs (her first new
music in five years), alongside such artists as Patty Griffin who sings a sultry version of the album’s Grammy Award
winning title song, Missy Higgins, Madeleine Peyroux, Jill Sobule, Nikka Costa, Sara Watkins and others. |
