The song Summertime was featured on the TV show Still Standing. The Tracks on this Cd are

These songs show Renee's voice growing and widening her appeal by doing a few rock standards as well as the jazz.There's no disputing the sultry vocal talents showcased on this debut that balances familiar chestnuts from the great American songbook ("Summertime," "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Sentimental Journey") with more recent fare that veers from R 'n' B sass ("Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby") to 70s chart hits like Sedaka's own "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" and Maria Muldaur's "Midnight at the Oasis." This album should still be available at your local store as well as amazon .if your local store doesn't carry this ask them to order it for you
