Lena Horne - The Lady & Her Music CD Question

Does anyone have the cd insert that can provide me with the names of the singers who appeared in the Cotton Club segment and provide the names of the songs they sing? Trying to update my iTunes library and would like to assign proper credit for those singers on those songs. Also, listening to the music and on I Got A Name, does anyone else here rhythmic mechanical noises in the background,very faintly? I only hear it in that song.

Thanks.

I have it at home and will check tonight if no one has your answer before that.

I have it at home as well and can check later.

Might as well take this opportunity to post her Tony acceptance speech and "If You Believe" again:

Thanks guys - one of the most impressive live recordings ever. I think it comes close to Garland and Carnegie Hall. I saw it as a teenager and loved it, but I would've appreciated it more now.

It was one of the most thrilling evenings I have ever experienced in the theatre. I wish they'd release the live video recording of the show on DVD that was made by RKO Home Video.

And the older I get the more this song means to me...
