In 1979 Geraldine Fitzgerald (1913-2005), the legendary Broadway and Hollywood star, did something she had never done before: she began singing in her own cabaret act-Streetsongs-and the New York critics raved. Wrote Rex Reed: Leaves audiences screaming with applause. Her cabaret led to a PBS special, a long run at New York's Roundabout Theatre, an evening at the White House for President Jimmy Carter, and a tour to Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. The present release features the original cast of Streetsongs. Opening Theme / Underneath the Arches / Forget Me Not Lane (Live), Danny Boy (Live), The Poor People of Paris (Live), She's Leaving Home / Swanee (From Sinbad) [Live], Kerry Dance (Live), Phil the Fluter's Ball (Live), Four Green Fields (Live), Lily of Laguna (Live), Carrickfergus (Live), The Famous Pig Song / Saturday Night at the Rose ; Crown (From The Girl Who Came to Supper) [Live], Underneath the Street Songs: Who's This Geezer Hitler? / Smile (From Modern Times) / Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag / When You're Smiling / (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) the White Cliffs of Dover / Fitzy's Rag [Live], Excerpts from Bill Rudman's 1983 Radio Interview (Live)
