Songs by Irving Berlin, Stephen Sondheim, Frank Loesser and Jule Styne are featured on "Slow Dancin'," the first solo singing album from Broadway dance legend Tommy Tune.

The RCA Victor CD is scheduled for release Oct. 28 to coincide with the publication of "Footnotes," his memoirs, from Simon & Schuster.

Included on the album is Berlin's "It Only Happens When I Dance With You," from the film Easter Parade. Tune is scheduled to appear in a stage adaptation of this Fred Astaire film musical in a 1998 Australian tour that could be followed by a U.S. tour and/or Broadway. So the cut offers a preview of what could be Tune's next Broadway musical.

Tune has sung on Broadway in Seesaw and My One and Only, and on tour in Bye Bye Birdie, among other shows.
