I've heard all three of those. Andrews wins by a knockout in the first round. I bought Dion's albums, too. Sorry, dude!

The only problem with Andrews is her songbook is kinda small. She burned very brightly, but all too briefly.

But I have a suggestion for you. Get the bluray of Sound of Music. Put it on play. Forget about the schmaltzy plot, the sappy lyrics, the saccharine emoting, the cardboard characters. Just listen to the music. You'll be blown away. I envy anyone hearing it for the first time. If you're up to it, figure out which character is Marni Nixon without looking it up.

And lest I forget, check out Roberta Flack. She gives me chills, too.

Sorry, I prefer Mary Poppins to Sound of Music.

Thanks for the Flack rec.

Mary Poppins is certainly JA's other great film.

Enjoy! It just doesn't get any better than that. Just perfection.
