The original Broadway cast recording of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's musical, based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, about the relationship between an elocutionist and a flower girl. This is one of the great musical scores, and includes "Wouldn't It Be Loverly," "I Could Have Danced All Night," and "On the Street Where You Live," sung by a cast that includes Rex Harrison,
Julie Andrews, and
Stanley Holloway. The album spent 15 weeks at number one in the charts in 1956. ~ William Ruhlmann
