L.A. Is My Lady CD

L.A. Is My Lady was a high-energy event, hitting the Billboard Top 200 and Top 10 on the Jazz chart. It featured the title song, which got into MTV rotation, and Sinatra’s first recording of “Mack the Knife.” Musical guests include George Benson, Lionel Hampton, and Bob James. Legendary songwriter Sammy Cahn wrote new lyrics for “Teach Me Tonight” and “Until the Real Thing Comes Along.” This 40th anniversary deluxe CD edition includes new mixes for the original album, with six bonus tracks (three of them previously unreleased).
