Melissa Errico’s 'Legrand Affair' Receives October 18th Release

Melissa Errico's 'Legrand Affair' was today confirmed for October 18th release on Ghostlight Records. 'Legrand Affair' is a collection of songs written by Michel Legrand, performed by Errico with a 100-piece symphony orchestra in Brussels, and produced by Phil Ramone.

States Errico: "I'm proud to have gotten it to the place it was always meant to be, in honor of Michel Legrand who I love and respect beyond words."

Highlights on the upcoming CD include the Oscar-nominated 'What Are You Doing For the Rest of Your Life' to 'The Windmills of Your Mind' (winner of the Academy Award for Best Original Song, from The Thomas Crown Affair.)

The album was co-produced by Richard Jay-Alexander, Errico's concert director, close collaborator and longtime friend (responsible for casting Errico as Cosette in the first national touring company of Les Miserables, when she was an 18 year-old freshman at Yale.)  

'Legrand Affair' marks Errico’s third solo release, following 'Blue Like That' (EMI) and 'Lullabies and Wildflowers' (VMG/Universal). Additionally, it is her third collaboration with Ghostlight Records. She appeared on the label’s 'Finian's Rainbow' recording, as well as on their Broadway cast album of Michel Legrand's 'Amour'. Ghostlight will also reissue 'Lullabies and Wildflowers'.

Errico was Cosette in the first national tour of Les Miserables and later appeared on Broadway in My Fair Lady, Anna Karenina, High Society, and Dracula the Musical. It was her starring role in Legrand's Amour for which she won a 2003 Tony Award nomination as Best Actress in a Musical. Errico also appeared in the 2004 Off-Broadway production of Finian's Rainbow.
