She’ll tell us more, when she performs live in our studio.

Kelli O'Hara - just beautiful! I saw the show, and this was a wonderful revisit! Thank you.
It's interesting to note that "Someone To Watch Over Me" was originally intended to be an up tempo dance number; it's original tempo was very fast. But the Gershwins grudgingly gave in to the fact that it just didn't work as a song unless they slowed it way down and turned it into a ballad.
