SONG
"From Autumn back to Summer... This is the sort of 'olden days' singing I can get on board with. She has a sassiness in her style, much like Jessica Rabbit. I like the lyrics to this one too. I think this one might stick in my head for a while. It's quite dreamy if you listen to the music." - LC
Written by: George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward.
Producer: Joe Lippman.
Label: Columbia.
