 Harold Arlen w/ Barbra StreisandHarold Sings Arlen (With Friend) Release Date 1966 Label CSP Records Rating:  Composer Harold Arlen got his start as a singer, and he proves he can carry a tune on this fully realized album of his songs, arranged and conducted by Peter Matz and produced by Thomas Z. Shepard. This is no Cole-Porter-at-the-piano exercise, but a set of orchestrated songs. Arlen's modest singing voice doesn't quite justify the treatment, but he sings the lyrics of his collaborators with feeling and understanding, and he is joined on a couple of tunes by Barbra Streisand, who has shown an affinity for his work since doing his &"A Sleepin' Bee" as her first audition. One might have hoped for more of Arlen's best-known songs, but this collection is a well-rounded look at one of the better and less-famous pop songwriters of the century. William Ruhlmann, Rovi |
