Description
On this day in 1957, Sammy Davis Jr. and Carmen McRae released their duet album Boy Meets Girl on Decca Records. The record features playful and heartfelt songs that showcase the chemistry between two of the era’s finest vocalists.
Today we’re highlighting their spirited rendition of “Who Cares.” Superfan Michael Feinstein calls it a must-hear: “Sammy and Carmen are so casual about this performance, not in the way they sing but in their collaboration. Carmen takes a chorus, Sammy takes a chorus, they scat and then come together at the end, and you can tell it’s something that magically happened in the studio. It’s a great, swinging rendition of the song.”
Words & music by: George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
