Simply Heavenly CD

(Martin and Hughes) Claudia McNeil Melvin Stewart and Anna English.
Langston Hughes who also wrote the book and lyrics for this musical collaborated with musician and bandleader David Martin who contributed the music on Simply Heavenly. The show opened in New York in 1957 to moderate success but failed to find an audience in London when it transferred to the West End in 1958 with Bertice Reading in the lead. As a result of the failure the original London production was not recorded. However it was revived in London in 2003 and it was second time lucky for this time the show achieved a healthy run of over 200 performances and won numerous awards.
All 24 tracks are appearing on CD for the first time.
8 bonus tracks - Bertice Reading recordings she made in Paris in 1956 and one by &ldquoBloody Mary&rdquo Juanita Hall - Love Can Hurt You a song she co-wrote with Langston Hughes.
