The Song is Kern

The music is sweet, the words are true:  Jerome Kern was one of America's most glorious composers.  A bountiful treasure of his greatest songs, rendered by such artists as Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, Chet Baker, and Nina Simone, with some astonishing contemporary renderings by Sylvia McNair, Rebecca Luker, and a Kern choral masterpiece that will make you pick yourself up and dust yourself off.
