The feature documentary film "Carol Channing: Larger Than Life," directed by Dori Berinstein, is expected to be released this coming season.
In 2009, Channing released an album of her favorite spiritual songs, "For Heaven's Sake," on the New Day Christian label. The 18-track album includes "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Old Time Religion" and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," plus secular songs "Razzle Dazzle," "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans" and a new song about life in her new husband's hometown, "Modesto, You're My Hometown."
