Ballard's balladry on Brice originals

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Recorded in 1954, this album of Fanny Brice standards is truly a gem of a CD! Kaye Ballard gives a lot of love and energy to her performances of songs Brice made famous earlier in the century. While maintaining the essence of Brice, Ballard injects a lot of life to these rarely heard tunes. Brilliant 40 years later and surely beyond!"

"Fans of Musical Comedy, fans of vaudeville, fans of loving ethnic humor, and fans of Fanny Brice, will all enjoy this. In her own unique voice, Miss Ballard brings to life the songs of Fanny Brice. PEOPLE who regard Barbra Streisand's brilliant portrait of Miss Brice as the only Funny Girl, would do well to give a listen to the basic songs. This is a joy!!!!"
