Synopsis

Product Description
Broadway veteran Rachel York (Victor/Victoria, The Scarlet Pimpernel) has the kind of voice that a song standard would gladly thank, if it could. With her soaring, pure tones, perfect diction, and boundless energy, York brings class, elegance, and, above all, spirit to a lovingly expressed program of first-class tunes including My Funny Valentine, All The Things You Are, and My One and Only Love. York also knows how to spice things up with a few unexpected choices, such as the Rosemary Clooney hit My House, Stephen Sondheim s Sooner or Later (from the film Dick Tracy), and the Paris Sisters early- 60s pop hit I Love how You Love Me, as well as producer Tor Hyams Too Good to Be True. It's obvious that York's as comfortable swinging an up-tempo performance as she is bathing a ballad in honeyed warmth. In short, a welcome debut from a gifted vocalist who s here to stay. --William Pearl

""Let's Fall in Love" is a brilliant entrée into the solo recording world for Rachel York. This beautiful and jazzy retro CD is a real breakout for the gifted Broadway, film and television actress/singer. Known for her stage roles Norma Cassidy in "Victor/Victoria" and Lili Vanessi in "Kiss Me, Kate," as well as playing Lucille Ball in the CBS biopic "Lucy," Rachel sets herself free on this CD, singing from her own heart, without character restraints. A score of wonderful standard tunes shows off her magnificent, pure, silky-smooth and richly textured voice that has hints of Ella Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, and Barbra Streisand in it. Yet Rachel interprets a song like no other performer I've ever heard. Every time you listen to her sing, it's like hearing a song for the first time. She adds unexpected twists of emotion to her vocals that bring new meaning to old standards. She has a distinct, deliciously sultry, honest and uninhibited quality that is absolutely penetrating. On this CD Rachel York has brought back the Big Band sound with her own special contemporary flair. There's humor in "My House," sass in "Let's Do It," longing in "My Funny Valentine," seduction in "Sooner or Later," and love in every single note. If you don't melt when you hear this incredibly talented woman sing, you need serious medical attention. She's amazing. The orchestra backing her really swings, too! "Let's Fall in Love" will leave you breathless."
A Pleasant Surprise

"Rachel York was unknown to me, but I bought the CD on a whim because of the list of songs. What a pleasant surprise! The lady has a really good voice and knows how to interpret a song. There isn't a poor track on the list.

I'm looking forward to future CDs."
