Album Notes

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
The husband-and-wife team of Karen Benjamin and Alan Chapman has appeared widely in cabaret evenings of Alan's original songs and in programs combining Alan's songs with the best of the classic song repertoire. They have performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Town Hall, the Los Angeles Music Center, Dallas Museum of Art, and many other venues nationwide. They are currently enjoying rave reviews for their perpetually sold-out series "Songwriters and Their Songs." Don Heckman of the LA Times writes: "Few performers understand the full extent of the Great American Songbook as well as the husband-wife team of singer Karen Benjamin and pianist Alan Chapman."

ABOUT THE CD:
The songs of Livingston and Evans include three Academy Award winners (Mona Lisa, Buttons and Bows, and Que Será, Será), Silver Bells, Tammy, Mister Ed, Bonanza, and much more. Ray Evans (age 91) joins Karen and Alan to share his reminiscences of a wonderful career and tell the remarkable stories behind the songs.

REVIEWS

A Real Treat!
author: Julie Esposito
Karen Benjamin & Alan Chapman are the caliber of artists that can make ANY song sound great. Fortunately, in this collection, they also have the advantage of a wealth of lovely & fun songs from the Livingston & Evans songbook. As a further bonus, they have the charming Mr. Evans himself as co-star. The song choices are wonderfully varied, from comic to heartwarming. And Ms. Benjamin will melt your heart with her beautiful renderings Of "Mona Lisa," "Almost in Your Arms," and "Never Let Me Go."
