Julie Andrews’ ‘Loverly’ & Totally Unique Recording Legacy

Julie Andrews played a leading role on four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 -- two Broadway cast albums and two film soundtracks. Here are details.

Sixty-eight years ago this week, the original cast album to the Broadway smash My Fair Lady, starring Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison, vaulted from No. The astoundingly good score, composed by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, includes such standards as “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “On the Street Where You Live,” “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face,” “The Rain in Spain” and “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly.” Image Credit: Courtesy Everett Collection Highlights: “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “On the Street Where You Live,” “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face,” “The Rain in Spain,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly”
