Geraldine Fitzgerald – Streetsongs

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."
