Every great songwriter needs great interpreters. With the special digital release of her new single Hurry Home by Ghostlight Records, Melissa Errico returns to her role as what The Wall Street Journal has called the most “spectacularly beautiful” of all interpreters of acclaimed French composer and songwriter, the multiple-Oscar-winning Michel Legrand. Melissa first collaborated with Michel when she earned a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress for her performance in Legrand’s Broadway musical Amour. She then made with him the classic album Legrand Affair, backed by Legrand conducting his own large scale orchestral arrangements with the Brussels Philharmonic, produced by Phil Ramone.

For this newly recorded song — originally written for Jerry Lewis’ last movie Max Rose, with lyrics by Marilyn and Alan Bergman (“Windmills of Your Mind,” “You Must Believe in Spring”) — she chose an acoustic, intimate, jazz-inflected setting. Using a small band arranged by producer/arranger Rob Mathes (Sting, Elton John, Yo Yo Ma), and featuring guitarist & frequent Errico sideman Ben Butler, the song tells of love in a long marriage, and offers a more universal call to gathering and coming together.
