Debby Boone’s first Concord Records release, Reflections of Rosemary, is an
intimate musical portrait of her late mother-in-law, the legendary singer
Rosemary Clooney. The CD is a collection of 14 standards chosen for their
significance in Boone's life with Clooney, led by hers and Clooney’s Musical
Director, John Oddo. “I wanted to select songs that would give an insight into
Rosemary from a family perspective, and from the more than 30- years that I
spent with her,” says Boone. Debby continues to tour the Reflections of Rosemary Tribute along with musical director, John Oddo throughout the USA at many Performing Arts Centers and Symphony Halls. The show is a deeply heart-felt tribute to the unforgettable Rosemary Clooney, a woman for whom Debby had great love and respect. Recent appearances include performances at The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, Texas and the Pacific Symphony in Costa Mesa, California.
