Search - Anthony Newley :: Best of

One of the best-loved entertainers to come out of the UK in the 1960s, Anthony Newley has recently enjoyed a resurgence of interest, due in no small part to the likes of Jonathan Ross playing his music on Radio 2. Collaborating with composer Leslie Bricusse, he lent his lyrical skills to musical scores such as Dr Doolittle, Stop The World I Want To Get Off and The Roar Of The Greasepaint, as well as starring in films such as David Lean's classic Oliver Twist. He wrote, composed, directed, sang, danced and acted, achieving the highest accolades in all these spheres. Much of the music on this collection has not appeared on CD before, and it includes recordings of several of Newley's best-loved songs. Top quality remastered sound is taken from the original master tapes. 16 tracks. Sony/BMG. 2007.
