Get ready to hear the music of Fred Rogers like you've never heard it before. Mister Rogers' songs have been re-imagined and newly recorded into a tapestry of popular musical styles. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood when you hear Fred's songs uniquely interpreted and performed by legendary aware winning artists: The Cowsills, Jaci Velasquez, Jim Brickman, Jon Secada, Kellie Pickler, Lee Greenwood, Marilyn McCoo and Bill Davis, Jr., Micky Dolenz, Rita Wilson, Sandi Patty, Tom Bergeron, and Vanessa Williams. After fifty years on television, Fred Rogers is in back the spotlight again. The success of the Morgan Neville documentary and the highly anticipated film featuring Tom Hanks as Mister Rogers have rekindled a love and affection that inspired Fred Rogers to be known as "America's Favorite Neighbor." But on this album, it's all Fred's music! Fred Rogers wrote over two hundred songs for his show, "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." Under the direction of two-time Grammy and Emmy winning producer/arranger Dennis Scott, this recording offers fans of a one-of-a-kind collection featuring Mister Rogers' most memorable songs performed by some of the most recognizable voices in pop music. |
