Liners
Maybe I've earned the right to do these songs, maybe I haven't. Let time be the judge. I have always sung standards, from the time I was a little girl mooning, as most of us were, over Frank Sinatra's great classic renditions.
This is my fourth collection of these timeless songs, from Torch in 1981, My Romance in 1990, and Film Noir in 1997. Each one carefully guided by the hands of the wonderful producer/arrangers, giving me a different take on the material.
Now, with Richard Perry, my hugely talented and dear friend, I go down this road again. Oscar Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, George and Ira Gershwin, Glenn Miller, Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz (to name some of the great contributors to this era of the American popular song).
Richard and I, working together on so many albums (yes, they once were called albums, just as refrigerators were called "ice boxes") in the seventies as well as single cuts in years after that, had been looking for a project to collaborate on again. Richard, having worked recently on the Rod Stewart albums, had a newly renewed taste and swagger in a romantic concept.
Moonlight Serenade. Songs you can dance to, make love to and engage perhaps in a dry martini or a pre-dawn swim to. "What a great idea, Richard," I said, knowing I didn't have time to do a whole ten, eleven or twelve songs.
Now here it is: magically, as if by Richard's wizardry, before you. I hope that you put it under your pillow and see if the tooth fairy comes. I have often been mistaken for the tooth fairy.
