AMG Review of Sings for Lovers

John Bush
All Music Guide

Unlike the famous Sinatra album, Rosemary Clooney is not singing for young lovers here. Sings for Lovers is a compilation of her latter-day work for Concord, encompassing the late '70s and '80s. Her excellent tributes to a range of influences -- Billie Holiday, Irving Berlin, Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter -- make up the bulk of this collection.
