Do  you like Michael Feinstein's all Gershwin?

Which of his three all-Gershwin albums? ;-)

I like the SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME album -- more obscure Gershwin albums
which are not yet covered to death by standards singers. His earlier PURE
GERSHWIN is also great because of the sparse arrangements (duo piano and
the bass offers discreet support) and of his duet with the late Rosemary
Clooney in "Isn't it a Pity?". His MICHAEL AND GEORGE album is still
better than most Gershwin tributes, but in my opinion, he sounded tired
and the reworked songs didn't exactly sound inventive, although his "Do It
Again" version showed that Gershwin sounds justr as good with synthesizers
and "modern" sound.

PS. I consider Anne Murray's standards album CROONIN' as the worst of all.
Her voice in my opinion just didn't get into the soul of the music. I
preferred Toni Tennile's and even Cybill Shepherd's albums.
