Search - Three For A Song :: The Greatest Songs You've Never Heard

As heard on NPR! The 'Golden Age of Tin Pan Alley' in the 1920s and 1930s saw the creation of many of the tuneful, clever, and moving songs that make up the 'Great American Songbook.' But for every hit that George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Rodgers and Hart, Fats Waller, Walter Donaldson, Harry Warren, or other notables wrote, there were at least a dozen more equally deserving songs that fell through the cracks. Some were composed for films that never got made or Broadway shows that flopped. Others simply didn't have sufficient distribution or promotion. The remarkably versatile trio Three for a Song has made it their mission to resurrect many of the era's forgotten musical gems and bring them to audiences in their acclaimed show, The Greatest Songs You've Never Heard. Tenor Doug Bowles, soprano Karin Paludan, and pianist Alex Hassan comb through archives digging up musical treasures from many of the era's best-loved composers. Their fresh, dramatic interpretations showcase the humor, pathos, and excitement of the songs. 21 selections, 72 minutes. Includes a deluxe 24-page full-color booklet with detailed notes.
