Some good songs there-- though I shudder to think of Natalie Cole languishing through "Fever" and Diana Krall mutilating "You Don't Know Me." The duets with B.B. King and Van Morrison should be cool, and maybe "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind." But "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"? What a cheesy choice that is. Then again, the man could even make "America the Beautiful" worth listening to.
