He also wrote the book for They're Playing Our Song (CDJAY 1256).Jacqueline Dankworth (daughter of Cleo Laine and John Dankworth) stars as Sweet Charity. She is supported by such Broadway and West End Stars as Gregg Edelman (currently on Broadway in '1776'), Josephine Blake (repeating her role in the West End production of Sweet Charity) Shezwae Powell and Ethan Freeman (currently in the West End production of Les Miserables)This first complete recording includes as bonus tracks, songs written for the film version.
