2013 release, the fourth album from actor/singer Philip Chaffin. On Something Real, Chaffin turns to one of the most gifted songwriters of Broadway's Golden Age, the great lyricist Dorothy Fields. One of Broadway's most talented wordsmiths, Fields was also one of it's most adaptable, with a career spanning nearly half a century. Her illustrious collaborators included Jimmy McHugh, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Arthur Schwartz and Cy Coleman, and with them, she created some of the most enduring classics of the Great American Songbook. Among the hits heard here are "I'm in the Mood for Love," "Don't Blame Me," "Exactly Like You," "Remind Me," and Fields' Oscar-winning "The Way You Look Tonight," but Chaffin also mines some of her lesser-known gems, no less glorious, including "Then You Went and Changed Your Mind" (with McHugh), "Carousel in the Park" (with Sigmund Romberg), "A Cow and a Plow and a Frau" (with Morton Gould), "You're a Lovable Lunatic" (with Coleman) and two with Arlen: "Let Me Look at You" and the unpublished tune that gives the album it's title.
