Someone to Watch Over Me
- Performer: Kevin Brown
- Song by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin, 1926
- Listen to 1963 recording featuring Rosemary Clooney, click here
- Your heart will be on your sleeve after hearing this slow-dance-worthy rendition of "Someone to Watch Over Me" performed by the lovely Kevin Brown. Kevin made his History Theatre debut in our season opener Not in our Neighborhood! but that was only the beginning of his time on our stage. You may have glimpsed him in Christmas of Swing but you certainly won't miss him playing Gordon Parks in our upcoming production of Parks: A Portrait of a Young Artist.
David Lohman (Music Director and Arranger)
- A special thank you to David Lohman, musical director of "Christmas of Swing" for his musical arrangements and accompaniment on the ValenTunes videos!
