---

PS Classics (http://www.psclassics.com/ ), the label dedicated to the heritage of Broadway and American popular song, has joined forces with prolific cabaret performer and producer Jamie deRoy (http://www.jamiederoy.com/ ) on a new CD, "If I Sing," celebrating songwriters from the worlds of Broadway, pop, country and cabaret that was released today, November 14th. This new album has a twist: the songwriters are also the performers. Entitled after the Maltby/Shire song from Closer Than Ever, the album features 16 songwriters taking on their own material, some of it familiar, some totally unknown, in new performances and new arrangements. The theatre composers include some of Broadway's finest, including Stephen Schwartz, Maury Yeston, Richard Maltby & David Shire, Robert Lopez & Jeff Marx, Andrew Lippa, Lucy Simon, and Gretchen Cryer & Nancy Ford, while the pop songwriters include such luminaries as Grammy Award-winners Julie Gold and Larry Gatlin. Jamie deRoy & friends If I Sing is produced by Paul Rolnick, Artistic Director is Barry Kleinbort.

Jamie deRoy's Broadway producing credits include Chita Rivera: The Dancers Life; Say Goodnight, Gracie and this season's Jay Johnson: The Two and Only. Off-Broadway credits include A.R. Gurney's Indian Blood, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) and Terrence McNally's Dedication or The Stuff of Dreams. Known throughout the cabaret community as "The Fairy Godmother of Cabaret," she has produced seven CD's in the Jamie deRoy & friends series as well as The Child in Me: Volume I, 'Tis the Season and Animal Tracks each earning her MAC Awards for Recording of the Year. She has earned eight MAC Awards and four Back Stage Bistro Awards.

PS Classics' recent releases include the original cast albums of Grey Gardens and I Love You Because, the London cast recording of Sunday in the Park With George, the John Bucchino revue It's Only Life, and a centennial tribute to Jule Styne in Hollywood.
