Van Der Klei, Gerrie

Lovers & Friends

Singer Gerrie van der Klei could have written her memoirs, but chose to make an album. What a joy. For Lovers & Friends gives a better picture of life than hundred pages could. Love and love lost, happiness that becomes memory, life that seems to rhyme but just doesnt. The actress-singer-musicalstar sings that lifestory in ballads, with Scotch and soda' - playing herself the ukulele from her youth - as a musical smile in between. Topnotch songs from the international repertory, with a caressing delivery that touches the heart of them. Moving in the way she makes words and music completely her own: In the wee small hours, Lennonn & McCarthys In my life - which marked her television debut in 1967 - The best of times, dedicated to her great love, big band leader and physician Boy Edgar (deceased 1980), a Sinatra-song like Empty tables, Strayhorns Lush life. Gerrie van der Klei is accompanied by topmusicians from the Dutch jazz scene with a superior feeling for the whats and wheres in a song, ideally contributing to this warm and poignant life in music.
