Carmichael Hoagy - Essential Collection

Facts (2-CD Set) He wrote some of the greatest and most popular standards of all time and yet there are many who probably have never heard of Hoagland Howard Carmichael, better known to his chums and fans as plain Hoagy. CD1 contains a host of Hoagy classics performed by the great man himself including Georgia On My Mind, Lazy River, Hong Kong Blues, Lazybones and many many more. CD2 changes direction a little and features Hoagy performing the work of other great writers including the legendary George Gershwin. For the last eleven tracks we feature a host of great solo artists performing Hoagy tunes including Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Sarah Vaughan, Connie Boswell and the inimitable Bing Crosby.
