Michael Feinstein, a singer and pianist, capitalized on the renewed interest in pre-rock music from the 1980s, similar to artists like Harry Connick, Jr. This resurgence propelled Feinstein from nightclub stages to theaters and major-label albums. His 1987 debut, "Pure Gershwin," marked his entry on the Billboard Jazz charts. He achieved Top Five hits with albums like "Feinstein Sings Gershwin," "Big City Rhythms," and "The Sinatra Project." His 2014 holiday album and 2022's "Gershwin Country," featuring duets with artists like Dolly Parton and Brad Paisley, further showcased his enduring influence and versatility.
