With her delicate, fluttery voice (which can also go into overdrive with a very satisfactory belt when required), Gaynor tackles two numbers closely identified with Judy Garland "Gotta Have Me A Go With You" and "Here's What I'm Here For" as well as a lullaby-esque "My Ship" intimately scored with soft, hesitant strings and just the right amount of brass and a gangbusters "Soon" amongst others.By Editorial Reviews https://www.amazon.com/Sings-Lyrics-Gershwin-Mitzi-Gaynor/dp/B002D1GND2
