In the 1960s, pop singer Nat King Cole recorded an Lp featuring the songs from the Lerner & Loew musical “My Fair Lady”.
These tracks have just been reissued by the German label “Bear Family Records” on a huge, 11-CD box set of Cole recordings, along with a hardbound, 184 page book filled with articles, interviews, photos, and a discography. There are almost 300 tracks in the set. Most, of course, are not Lerner & Loewe material, but it is still a very impressive album.
