About

THE perfect gift for Mothering Sunday – a unique offering that will last much longer than flowers!

Presented here are the best songs inspired by love for one's mother. Typical is the heartfelt offering of Vera Lynn with the title track. Many of the greatest singing stars present their tributes (everyone has a mother, after all): top tenors John McCormack (Little Mother Of Mine) and Beniamino Gigli (Mamma), Bing Crosby (My Mother's Waltz) and, walking a million miles, Al Jolson (My Mammy - of course).

In all, 20 widely ranging artists are represented, from Brazilian bombshell Carmen Miranda (Mama yo quiero), R&B great Nellie Lutcher (My Mother’s Eyes), through boy singers Bobby Breen (M-O-T-H-E-R) and Joe Petersen (actually a girl!) (A Boy's Best Friend), to “The Street Singer” Arthur Tracy, singing – as are they all – To Mother With Love.
