: :Kristin Chenoweth won a Tony for the supporting role of Sally Brown in the 1999 revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, made a memorably vampy Lily in the 1999 television film of Annie, and had an NBC sitcom created for her, Kristin! Now she grabs the spotlight in Let Yourself Go, her first solo recording. She mixes torchy standards ('My Funny Valentine,' 'How Long Has This Been Going 0n?') with Faith Prince-style sauciness ('lf'), gets to show off her operatic and ... |

Dukey Treats»rank: 2195by: George Duke
: :Veteran keyboardist and producer George Duke remembers a time when funk was a powerful force not just in popular music but in social discourse. Frequently with a measure of wit and irony, and often with a strong dose of positivity at the core, titans like James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone and other funk icons of the `60s and `70s boldly addressed societal concerns ranging from poverty to racial disharmony to the battle of the sexes.

Somewhere over the Rainbow: The Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals»rank: 10773by: Various Artists
: :The 'Golden Age' referred to here spans The Jazz Singer and the advent of the talkies to the death throes of the old studio system in the 1960s. So vast was the era's musical landscape that even this 42-track, double-disc anthology can't encompass all its peaks. Not surprisingly, the bulk of this collection originated with the Tiffany's of the screen musical, M-G-M, a body of work whose riches here encompass both pop-cultural bedrock ('0ver the Rainbow,' 'Singin' in the Rain,' 'There's No Business ... |

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events»rank: 21058from: Sony
: :The characters of Daniel Handler's popular children's book series spring to life in this playfully macabre screen adaptation from director Brad Silberling. Contemporary scoring master Thomas Newman may launch the musical proceedings with the brief, Disney-esque flourish of 'The Bad Beginning,' but the sound of a needle being brusquely dragged across that record brings us to the composer's true intent: a teasing romp through occasionally dark, rhythmically charged musical corners.

Something Warm for Christmas»rank: 6252by: Jeffrey Osborne
: :Jeffrey 0sborne is often compared to R&B contemporaries Luther Vandross and James lngram. But Something Warm for Christmas shows how much he has in common with the great Johnny Mathis, who has recorded a few Christmas albums of his own through the years. With George Duke producing and playing keyboards on half the tracks, there's more of a smooth-jazz tint here than Mathis ever used. And 0sborne brings more seasonal obscurities to this recording, including an original he cowrote titled 'Just a Little ... |
