Ms. Horne sings about five different verses never before heard to It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. A mind-blowing way to end her classic album.
Glad to see that "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" was nominated for best song:
Academy Award for Best Original Song/Nominees (1964)
Charade
Henry Mancini, Johnny Mercer
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Ernest Gold, Mack David
More (Theme From 'Mondo Cane')
Riz Ortolani, Norman Newell, ...
Call Me Irresponsible
Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen
So Little Time (The Peking Theme)
Dimitri Tiomkin, Paul Francis Webster

Just discovered a terrific movie themed album from jazz guitarist Charlie Byrd.
"Hollywood Byrd", Charlie Byrd with Orchestra & Chorus, was released in 1967 and arranged by Johnny Carson's Tommy Newsom.
The main draw on here is The Wishing Doll (Elmer Bernstein & Mack David) from "Hawaii". I'd been listening to some Jackie DeShannon who also covered this song, then found that Nat's brother Ike Cole did a perfectly smooth rendition. And that led me to this Charlie Byrd album.
Other tracks on here are Any Wednesday (George Duning), Wish Me A Rainbow (Livingston-Evans) from "This Property is Condemned", In the Arms of Love and Moment to Moment (both Mancini), Alfie (Bacharach), Georgy Girl. And wait till you hear Born Free - a potentially overplayed song gets a fresh overhaul here.
This is mostly an instrumental album, but the chorus comes in more often than not.
So listen to The Wishing Doll, then Born Free and don't be surprised if the whole album isn't being played.
