O’s Notes: Margie is an entertainer first, singer second. This by no means takes away from her vocal abilities. We just want to emphasize that her performance is highly animated and engaging with her audience. You can feel the vibe of this live performance even from your living room. She assembled a strong cast of musicians including guitarist Rodney Jones and packed two discs with twenty great classics. When she adds her twists to the lyrics, they pop. “It Don’t Mean A Thing If You Ain’t Got That Swing”, “Cry Me A River” and “Miss Otis Regrets” are just a few of the gems.
