A new album featuring the late Nancy LaMott spotlights the cabaret favorite's work with MAC and Bistro Award-winning composer David Friedman (Desperate Measures, King Island Christmas), who wrote many of her signature tunes and produced all of her 1990s albums on the Midder Music label.

Aptly titled Nancy LaMott Sings David Friedman, the new recording is currently available for streaming by clicking here and will also be released on CD at a later date. The album is the second in The Nancy LaMott Collector's Series, following an earlier release of David Zippel songs.

Listen to LaMott's performance of "We Can Be Kind," written especially for her by Friedman and featured on the new recording, above.

“To my mind—and to the minds and hearts of so many who have heard her sing—Nancy was one of the greatest interpreters of the American Popular Songbook of the late 20th century," Friedman told Playbill. "I promised her on her deathbed, in 1995, that I would do everything in my power to see to it that the whole world would hear her sing. I have a handwritten letter framed on my wall where Nancy talks about how she dreams of putting together an ‘all David Friedman album.’ 32 years later, here it is, as part of my doing my best to make good on that promise.”

The new recording features several Friedman tunes that were part of earlier LaMott recordings as well as tunes previously unreleased. The complete track list includes "Listen to My Heart," "We Can Be Kind," "Help Is On the Way," "I'll Be Here With You," "Just in Time for Christmas," "We Live on Borrowed Time," "Your Love," "Testing the Waters of Love," "I'll Color It," "You Are the Topic of My Love," "What I'd Had in Mind," and "Your Love" (Demo).

Nancy LaMott was beloved by fans for a voice that could be soft and sweet one minute and big and belty the next. Many critics agreed she also possessed a remarkable ability to find the emotional center of any song, bringing a lyric to life as honestly as possible. LaMott's solo recording credits included Beautiful Baby, Come Rain or Come Shine: The Songs of Johnny Mercer, My Foolish Heart, Just in Time for Christmas, and Listen to My Heart as well as the posthumously issued What's Good About Goodbye?, Nancy LaMott—Live at Tavern on the Green, and Ask Me Again. LaMott passed away in 1995 at the age of 43.
