Let’s Face the Music and Dance: Songs by Irving Berlin

It may have all started with the young Irving Berlin, churning out the first popular songs that people danced to, loved with, cried over, and dreamed about.  Broadway and the movies made them famous, but time made them American classics. Deceptively simple songs, beautifully crafted, they still touch the heart, lift spirits, make you smile, and want to keep on singing them. Songs include “Blue Skies,” “Cheek to Cheek,” “White Christmas,” “How Deep Is the Ocean,” and “Let’s Face the Music and Dance.”
