Lou Rawls' version of Tomorrow is beautiful.

Speaking of Promises Promises, why wouldn't that have been chosen as a Dionne contribution to this CD?

Maybe just too available on other Dionne releases? Just guessing!

The Four Tops' album "On Broadway"

"Climb Every Mountain" was a masterpiece.

Dionne has some other selections that could have made that list. The Sound of Music made it to Broadway so Dionne's version of My Favorite Things [[from her album titled On Stage And In The Movies) could have been in there. Also songs from her album Sings Cole Porter and 2 songs from the play Promises Promises [[I'll Never Fall In Love and the title song) could have been in there. That would have been a bit too much of Dionne though.
