Jazz inspired vocalist Nancy Wilson made her US album chart breakthrough as a solo artist with Broadway My Way. It showcases her interpretations of classic Broadway songs. (US:18)

"The theatricality associated with many of these tunes is undercut by Wilson's elegant, sensual delivery."

"Show tunes rarely sound this good."

"Sweet, smart, beautiful vocals from the Broadway songbook. This is a must-have Nancy Wilson album."

"The treatments of the songs gives a lot of familiar material new slants."

"Nancy Wilson is unquestionably one of the legends of vocal jazz."

"This was the first version of You Can Have Him I ever heard and after so many years it still packs a punch."

“Simple, warm, communicative, impeccably musical singing of mostly great songs. And Wilson makes the one or two that perhaps aren't great, sound great.”

“For someone who appreciates Broadway music, this album is an enjoyable listen. Her exceptional vocal artistry is at its finest singing some of the best tracks from this set.”
