I recently saw the outstanding revival of South Pacific at New York's Lincoln Center. As a tribute to the original cast, I'm preparing posts featuring 10-inch LPs from the show's leads, Mary Martin, Ezio Pinza, and Juanita Hall.
Here is the first one, Mary Martin Sings for You, which was recorded while South Pacific was in rehearsals in February 1949. The dated sounding arrangements are by Broadway orchestrator Ben Ludlow.
This is quite a good record in better sound that Columbia usually offered. The cover is by Alex Steinweiss.
The first Mary Martin record featured here was quite popular, and I suspect this one will be as well.

Buster,
Please re-activate this album.
Quiz: what girl singer only had three top 10 hits on the pop charts, but in three different decades? Mary Martin: "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" (with Eddy Duchin) (9-January 1939),"I'll Walk Alone" (6-Best Sellers - October 1944) and "Go To Sleep, Go To Sleep, Go To Sleep" (with Arthur Godfrey) (8-Best Sellers - April 1950) :-).
New link (this has been remastered and is now in much better sound and Apple lossless format):
