This 3CD collection celebrates Danny Kaye’s recording career, an anarchic master of comedy and an incredibly versatile singer whose verbal dexterity still astonishes to this day. Tongue twisters sit nicely between straighter repertoire. We include songs from his many films including, most famously, those from “Hans Christian Andersen”. Also featured are duets with the likes of The Andrews Sisters and Dinah Shore.
