The 24-track Barton disc — Encore – The Private Collection — features the late singer performing a wide variety of songs, ranging from “Tea for Two” to “You’ve Got a Friend.” The disc also contains several tracks of Barton singing Broadway standards in German, such as “Ich war bis heut noch nicht verliebt (I’ve Never Been in Love Before)” from Guys and Dolls.
