{"product_id":"hoagy-carmichael_sings_2019_pia","title":"Sings","description":"This edition contains one of the best albums by the master of song Hoagy Carmichael (1899-1981), \"Hoagy Sings Carmichael,\" released in 1956. The singer\/songwriter is backed by modern jazz musicians such as Harry Edison, Art Pepper, and Jimmy Rowles, and the magnificent arrangements are by Johnny Mandel. American composer and author Alec Wilder described Hoagy Carmichael as the \"most talented, inventive, sophisticated and jazz-oriented of all the great creators\" of pop songs from the first half of the 20th century. Hoagy Carmichael was one of the most famous Tin Pan Alley songwriters of the 1930s and was among the first singer-songwriters of the media age to use new communication technologies (television, the use of electronic microphones, and sound recordings). He composed several hundred songs, about fifty of which achieved hit record status. He is best known for composing \"Stardust,\" \"Georgia on My Mind,\" \"The Nearness of You,\" and \"Heart and Soul\" (in collaboration with lyricist Frank Loesser), four of the most recorded American songs of all time. \"Ole Buttermilk Sky\" was nominated for an Academy Award in 1946, and \"In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening\" (lyrics by Mercer) won the Academy Award for \"Best Original Song\" in 1951.","brand":"Hoagy Carmichael","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55304049033560,"sku":null,"price":20190125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/8436559465540.jpg?v=1772661438","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/hoagy-carmichael_sings_2019_pia","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
