I love the Florence Foster Jenkins recording, but another really sour
production is the recording "Jonathan and Darlene Edwards in Paris". I first
heard this about 25 years ago and their version of I Love Paris is ... well,
words fail me. Jo Stafford aka Darlene Edwards is absolutely incredible at
finding just the wrong note at just the wrong time to really make you wince.
I wish I could find a CD of this! Anyone familiar with it?
Cheers
