Linda Eder - Greatest Hits (2007)

This is Linda Eder's first-ever Greatest Hits compilation. Sampling highlights from musicals including Funny Girl, Man of La Mancha, La Cage aux Folles, and others. An incredible collection of the Broadway star's finest recorded work, ranging from stirring ballads to swinging up-tempo numbers. Songs included 'Don't Rain On My Parade' (from Funny Girl) and 'Over The Rainbow', the Judy Garland classic that inspired Eder to pursue her dream. Several of the songs are the teamwork of Eder's partnership with her husband, Frank Wildhorn (the composer of Jekyll & Hyde); songs like 'Bring On the Men', 'A New Life', and 'Someone Like You'. Selections from Eder's albums Broadway My Way and It's Time display her as one of today's leading ladies of musical theater. The disc is a winning showcase for Eder's talents and a wonderful addition to any collection of contemporary show tunes.
