Memo to ABC
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for bringing “FlashForward” back to us. Now let’s hope it makes sense, so that we can love it like a long “Lost” cousin.
YAY!!!

A tribute to be treasured, made with obvious love and reverance to its subject, this record of Ms. Esposito’s infectious, heartfelt ode to chart-topping songstress Connie Francis, scores on many levels. Not only as a sincere homage to her idol, but also as a testament to her right-on renditions of these oh-so-famous tunes. While never resorting to out-and-out imitation, she manages to capture the magic of Ms. Francis, with just the right touch of her own particular style.

Imagine our surprise, when one of our writers contacted us after reading the Norma Doesmen item on NiteLifeExchange.com.

This is the first solo recording from recently anointed Broadway star Kate Baldwin of the recent, sadly departed revival of Finian’s Rainbow, and it is a treasure. All of the cuts on this album were either musically or lyrically co-created by Broadway legends Burton Lane or E. Y. ("Yip") Harburg, working with a host of other collaborators and they are gems all, illustrating what was some of the very best theatre (and film musical) writing we have ever known. The terrific orchestrations were created by a glittering assemblage of mostly well-known arrangers/conducters, among them Rob Berman and the marvelous Jonathan Tunick, with his aptly-titled “Broadway Moonlighters” orchestra. It is a tribute to Ms. Baldwin that all of these varied ingredients, which could have thrown the balance out-of-whack, gel so perfectly around her assured central presence.
