I learned so much from this DVD. It was wonderful to see and hear these women who paved the way for so many others. Betty Buckley's voice has not aged well, but she was a gracious 'emcee', and obviously knows these songs backwards and forwards. A 'must see' for those of us interested in The Great American Songbook, not just songs whose texts were written by women or whose melodies were composed by women. Read more
