CRY  ME  A RIVER:  This is a superior pop song from 1954. It was written by Arthur Hamilton and is very much in the tradition of the torch songs of Harold Arlen. George Gershwin and Cole Porter, noted creators of the Great American Songbook canon.
Elegantly sung by Ella Fitzgerald, she is accompanied by a sumptuous orchestral arrangement by Jorge Callendrelli and played by the London Symphony Orchesta which brings out the sadness inherent in both the melody and the lyrics.
