ABOUT KATHARINE MCPHEE:
Classic love songs define key moments in life.
They can immediately evoke a warm embrace or conjure the memory of an unforgettable evening. Like a fine wine, these tunes only get better with age as they’re handed down from generation to generation.

“I wanted to do a record people could make out to,” she smiles. “It’s the most romantic music in the world. All of the songs tell stories. That’s why I love them so much.”
From humming “torchy numbers” around the house as a child to Cabaret gigs in high school, McPhee has possessed a lifelong passion for the American Songbook.

As part of the 2015Sinatra 100: An All-Star GRAMMY® Concert on CBS, she joined John Legend for the opening medley—“You Make Me Feel So Young,” “My Kind Of Town,” and “You And Me (We Wanted It All)”. Her show-stopping presence and powerhouse voice captivated and inspired a key member of the program’s production team: iconic GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Don Was [Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt].
