Nancy Wilson- Hollywood - My Way and Broadway My Way



Nancy Wilson- Hollywood - My Way


Hollywood — My Way was Nancy Wilson’s seventh album for Capitol Records in the 1960s, and as the follow-up and companion to Broadway — My Way, was the second album of hers with a thematic program. This CD reissue also marks the first time that this album is released on CD in the U.S. and remastered directly from the original master tapes at the same legendary Capitol Studios in Hollywood, where the music was originally recorded.


These seventeen songs, written between 1936 and 1966, all emanate from the classic repertoire of the movies and feature the works of some of the idiom’s greatest composers and lyricists including Arlen, Mercer, Mancini, Kern, Van Heusen, Cahn, Porter, Bacharach, Mandel, and Legrand. The arrangements here, by Jimmy Jones (first twelve tracks), Billy May, Oliver Nelson, and others, perfectly support Nancy’s brilliant forays in exploring the sound of the cinema.


The bonus tracks (13–17) appear for the first time on CD in the U.S.
