Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Goddard Lieberson and recorded with the full orchestra in a single marathon session at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in New York, 'My Fair Lady' preserves Rex Harrison as Henry Higgins, Julie Andrews as Eliza Doolittle and Stanley Holloway as Alfred P. Doolittle in Lerner and Loewe's adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. It spent fifteen weeks at number one and 480 weeks in total on the Billboard album chart, and was later inducted into both the Grammy Hall of Fame and the Library of Congress National Recording Registry.
