This year we celebrate the centenaries of two great songwriters, both born in London, just 10 days apart, and both moving to the USA at an early age (the other is Harry Revel CDAJA5626). During a remarkable career Julius Stein (1905-1954) wrote an amazing 1,500+ songs. Living Era's appropriately named "I've Heard That Song Before" contains what are arguably his 25 finest, including such evergreens as 'I'll Walk Alone', 'It's Been A Long, Long Time', 'It's Magic', 'Five Minutes More', 'I Don't Walk Without You', 'There Goes That song Again' and 'Three Coins In The Fountain'. As with each of the 'Songs Of' issues, an amazing roster of artists has been gathered together, wherever possible contemporaneous with the song's first appearances and in many cases associated with the original show or film. The line-up includes Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Marilyn Monroe, Bing Crosby, Helen Forrest, Dean Martin, Jo Stafford, Peggy Lee and many more.
