HOLIDAY FOR SWING...SETH MCFARLANE.....REPUBLIC RECORDS.
tracks played....
A Marshmellow world / Moonlight in Vermont / Mele Kalikimaka  / Let it snow.

Good ol fashioned Big Band backings to Bublelike singing. Some strange festive choices chosen

COLUMBIA...REAL GONE MUSIC...SONY.

There are the other Christmas Classics as well but they are not as successful. 29 Tracks is
wonderful value and there are a few little quirky surprises along the way. In all , a great 60s

OLLY MURS....NEVER BEEN BETTER..DELUXE VERSION    SONY MUSIC..
Tracks played...
Did you miss me / Wrapped up / Up / Seasons / Nothing without you / Never been better.

Surprising that I am featuring this album in Easy Listening but Olly Murs is popular with
everybody as his chart success has been all encompassing , and financially very effective.
The album is electrically enhanced in every department and I have to conceed although a lot
of the songs have catchy hooks,I feel his last album was better than this. I don't remember
all the production tricks that appear in this album. ***.

SHIRLEY BASSEY + BETTE MIDLER + CARPENTERS ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW NOVEMBER 17TH 2014.

SHIRLEY BASSEY.....NEW ALBUM.
Tracks played...
Diamonds are a girl's best friend ( with Paloma Faith) / I'm still here / Englishman in New York.

This new thirteen tracks album is unusual in that it looks back on mature melodies and reminds one
of a final album excursion. I hope not. Miss Bassey's voice is as strong as ever proved by her
inclusion of "Goldfinger" and "Mc Arthur's park". Nobody leaves a cake out in the rain when
Bassey records a new album and the orchestra behind her proves there is probably still more
music from a female legend to come. ****.

BETTE MIDLER.....IT'S THE GIRLS.
Tracks played... Be my baby / Give him a great big kiss / One fine day / Tell him / Too many
fish in the sea / You can't hurry love.

Bette Midler singing the old girl group oldies at frenetic party pace. Good value here is she
sweeps through 14 or so great tracks and only slows down a couple of times to impessive
effect. This year's Christmas Party album.****.

CARPENTERS CHRISTMAS COLLECTION.(2CDS)   A&M RECORDS.

12 TRACKS PLAYED  from a two hour package of pure delight. As background on
Christmas morning....excellant idea.....in fact anytime over the festive season this album
stands out as one of the best balanced Christmas treat you could ever hope to own.
Buy it !!!  *****.

MICHAEL BALL'S NEW ALBUM...
Tracks played....What we ain't got.

Familiar ballads and some new and unexpected tracks from Mr Ball like the one played on the
programme. In these current times we ain't got a lot and Michael seems to agree. An unusual
Christmas release.****.

ONE DIRECTION + BOBBY DARIN ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW OCTOBER 28TH 2014.

ONE DIRECTION...NEW SINGLE....STEAL MY GIRL.

Just another One Direction single. Previous singles have been better than this.**.

BOBBY DARIN  IF I WERE A CARPENTER/INSIDE OUT...DIABLO RECORDS.(2cds)

tracks played...
If I were a carpenter / Don't make promises / I am  / Whatever happened to Happy /
Hello Sunshine / I'm going to love you.

A strange matching of albums with both having a fairly random selection of songs. This
is not to say that it is not good. Unusually interesting and perfectly vocalised. Bobby
Darin was often hailed as successor to Sinatra and had a more varied approach to
all different types of material. This album proves that.****.

PATTI PAGE VOL 1 ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW 21 ST OCTOBER 2014.

PATTI PAGE VOL 1 EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS.....REAL GONE MUSIC...4CDS.

Tracks played....
I want to be a cowboy sweetheart / Mocking bird hill / I'll string along with you /
You're driving me crazy / You go to my head / I didn't know what time it was /
Milwaukee Polka / I can't tell a waltz from a tango.

Yes indeed....91 tracks from the superb voice of Patti Page. I have to admit these are
early recordings from 1956-57 but the voice is crystal clear on these tracks, the performances
are great and the orchestrations, although by today's standards are dated , are very
acceptable. Patti sings everything without improvisation, so all the songs are sung as
they were originally intended, straight. Most are excellent choice standards and all are
worth hearing just for Patti's voice....clear and concise. 4star****.  There will be a volume
2 released shortly.

BARBRA STREISAND..PARTNERS..ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW OCTOBER 10TH 2014.

BARBRA STREISAND...PARTNERS....COLUMBIA/SONY MUSIC...£10.
tracks played.....
It had to be you......MICHAEL BUBLE.*****
People...................STEVIE WONDER.***.
I still can see your face....ANDREA BOCELLI.*****.
Somewhere............JOSH GROBAN.****.
Love me tender......ELVIS PRESLEY.****.
I've got a crush on you.....FRANK SINATRA.***.

17 tracks on this album, four of them recorded earlier on other "Duet" type albums.
Barbra's voice is , as if  she had been away. It is almost disturbingly as good as
ever. This is all ballads and it does get a little monotonous  as each slow track
slips into another slow track. ...not that quality is skimped on....there is a lot to
commend and although I only played seven tracks on the show there was nothing
to criticise on the remaining items. The Sinatra Duet only got three stars because
it was recorded in his later recording years and the tonal sound of his voice is not
what we're used to. He was in his eighties for goodness sake. Presley's track with
it's new accompaniment orchestra is very smooth and very acceptable. This was
the tracks I was expecting to dislike. As a whole it is a professional release but
a few new swingers or uptempo numbers would have been gratefully received.****.

FRANK IFIELD+NELSON RIDDLE ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW SEPTEMBER 28TH.

FRANK IFIELD. THE COMPLETE A-SIDES AND B-SIDES....EMI GOLD.

Tracks played...
Say it isn't so / Summer is over / Paradise / I guess / There'll be another spring / You came
along from out of nowhere / I remember you (Pedal steel version)

63 tracks on this 3CD album covering all of Frank Ifield's hits plus album tracks and ALL
of his singles...both sides. An extremely persuasive vocal performer. He makes
sub -standard songs sound good and there is not a track on this album that you would
turn off. Great Value. Great singing.*****. 5 star.

NELSON RIDDLE. EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS  REAL GONE JAZZ..RGJCD 311.

92 tracks on this 4CD 8 album collection of early Nelson Riddle music. Experimental full
orchestral songs. Perfect played in the car on a long journey. Mostly standards....you can
imagine you are Frank Sinatra as the melodies pour out of the speakers. 4star.****.

NEW TRACKS PLAYED ON SHOW.
It had to be you....Michael Buble / Barbara Streisand.

From her new DUETS album and an outstanding smooth track with both singers in
perfect voice.*****.

NANCY SINATRA + MILLION SELLERS OF 1956 ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTEING SHOW SEPTEMBER 23RD.

NANCY SINATRA...THE ESSENTIAL NANCY SINATRA...EMI...LIBERTY nancysinatra.com

tracks played....
Sugar town / The Highway song / How does that grab you darlin' / I love them all ( the boys
in the band).

For all of Nancy Sinatra's hits this is good value although I do find the duets with Lee
Hazelwood a little dour and dirgy.The extras on this 26 track CD vary greatly and I found
some inclusions unusual  and some not well recorded......however there are 10 hits and
four of these are million sellers and it was a discounted price. Good value.3star***.

THE 1956 BRITISH HIT PARADE...JANUARY TO JULY.(4CDS)  ACROBAT MUSIC
ACQCD 7002.

TRACKS PLAYED.....

The ballad of Davy Crockett...Bill Hayes / Love and Marriage...Frank Sinatra / Memories
are made of this...Dean Martin / It's almost tomorrow...The dream Weavers / Rock and
roll waltz...Kay Starr / Heartbreak Hotel...Elvis Presley / The Happy whistler....Don
Robertson / Hot Diggity...Perry Como / Too young to go steady..Nat King Cole / Whatever
will be will be...Doris Day / Why do fools fall in love..Frankie Lymon & the teenagers.

This 4CD album has 94 tracks. On the programme the above nine were chosen as million
sellers. The albums have EVERY top twenty hit in Britain on them.....not all are top class
and some are technically lifted off old 45s or 78s so recording value  is not as from Master
Tapes which other selected nostalgia CDs have gone to the trouble of doing. That does not
it is poor value, quite the opposite, it is a true reflection of the hit single output in Britain
for the first six months of 1956. 4star****.

ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS SEPTEMBER 21ST.

ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY...SONY BROADWAY...containing previously unreleased
material.  No. SK 35330
CAST....John Cullum / Madeline Kahn / Imogene Coca / Kevin Kline.

A fascinating worthwhile CD to grace everybody's record collection who are interested in
Musicals.  Superb orchestrations ( especially the Overture), excellent ensemble singing and this
CD has some extra tracks not on the vinyl release. John Callum, Kevin Kline and Imogene Coca
are in great form...my only guess would be that some people would not like the  strange
performance from Madeleine Kahn. It is a little mannered and could annoy. *****.

ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. WEST END. Dennis Quilley,Julia Mc Kenzie / Dora
Bryan / Mark Wynter.

I saw this production in London many years ago and was completely entranced. The
difficult train effects were handled expertly and the sets and Art Deco style was a joy
to see. When a train speeds towards the audience with Dora Bryan in front of the engine
is a frightening wonder to behold. That I remember and the excellent singing from the
principles and chorus...not to mention the songs. A forgotten musical worth reviving.

HENRY MANCINI + THE PUPPINI SISTERS ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW SEPTEMBER 2014.

New blog starting with the return to the airwaves of Tudnofm 107.8. No more playlists
as playlists for the show are all over previous blogs and there are many repeats. Just reviews
with more details of new and existing Easy listening albums.  Colin Holmes.

THE REAL HENRY MANCINI.....RCA VICTOR(3CDS) Online £10
Tracks played on EASY LISTENING and MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS.....

Peter Gunn  / Moon river / Moon river cha cha / Charade / Latin Snowfall / The Pink
Panther / A shot in the dark / Days of wine and roses / The Untouchables / Theme from
Cade's county.

60 Tracks on this good value triple album covering every Henry Mancini song plus some
others orchestrated by him.  There is a large amount of incidental film music contained
in the sixty song choices which are strictly background music however you cannot dispute
the good Mancini output which naturally stands out. 3star.***.

THE RISE AND FALL OF RUBY WOO...THE PUPPINI SISTERS...UNIVERSAL /
VERVE / UCJ.....£9.95. Cheaper now.That was the price in 2007.

Tracks played regularly.....
Walk like an Egyptian / Old Cape Cod / It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing /
Could it be magic / Don't sit under the apple tree / Crazy in love / We have all the time
in the world.

This is not every track...there are 13 in all and not a bad one amongst them. A cross between
the Beverly sisters, the Andrews sisters with up to date songs ( not all ) and simple modern
backings.They create different feelings to songs like CRAZY IN LOVE, COULD IT BE MAGIC
etc. I find the slow songs not as successful as the up tempo numbers but that's just a personal
opinion.  As a whole  it is an entertaining mix and the number of times I have included songs
from this album on my shows on Radio is great  4stars.****.

The new blogs will continue every week now..... to tune in.....

JULIE LONDON+1954 MILLION SELLERS ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS 18TH AUGUST 2014

JULIE LONDON.....EMI RECORDS. Liberty records.
Tracks played....
Cry me a river / Must be catchin' / Broken hearted melody / Our day will come.

Most of Julie London's singles included on this CD plus some choice tracks from LPs
issued in the sixties. 20 tracks in all and a satisfying varied collection. Her voice is
intimate....she must have sung close to the microphone giving a first class sensual
experience  to every listener.Clever girl,clever producer ! ****.

52 ORIGINAL HITS OF 1954.....MEMOIR (2CDS)
Tracks played...
Sway...Dean Martin / This ole house...Rosemary Clooney / I see the moon...The Stargazers
Little things mean a lot...Kitty Kallen / Granada...Frankie Laine / Secret love..Doris Day
Cara Mia...David Whitfield / No one but you....Billy Eckstein.

Another good-value Package of most of 1954's big hits American and British. Recorded
straight from 78rpm records these recordings are the genuine thing although some tracks
lose from this system.For example....Dean Martin's "Sway" sounds a lot better on more recent
albums because they originated from masters at Capitol records, however   it's nice to have
the other tracks otherwise we would not have the opportunity of hearing them at all.

Tracks played.....
Make it easy on yourself / The sun ain't gonna shine anymore / Baby, you don't have to tell me.
Joanna / The lights of Cincinatti.

6 good tracks from Scott Walker and 12 from the Walker Brothers. Good value at over one
hour of music. Scott Walker's voice is a revelation with a depth and vibrancy that brings
exquisite vocal colour to all the recordings on this album. The Walker brothers tracks were
purely commercial heartbreak recordings (not unlike Westlife) with an annoying muffled
sound on some tracks. This,in it's day, made for a new ( Phil Spectorish) sound. The jury
is out on that one. ****.

NANCY WILSON +1955 HITS ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW JULY 8TH

NANCY WILSON....A touch of today / Today,tomorrow ,forever....CAPITOL/EMI
Tracks played....One note samba / Go away little boy / On Broadway / You've got
your troubles / No one else but you.

This is probably Nancy Wilson's most commercial outing in CD form. Essentially a Jazz and
soul singer, she recorded these albums in the late sixties because of a popular Chart entry with
"No one else but you". Much more popular in America than here...but then that's a matter
of taste. Her re-working of well-known hits of the time doesn't always work effectively but
she always sounds great. ****.

DORIS DAY...DAY BY DAY/DAY BY NIGHT.....Columbia/Sony BMG.

Tracks played.....
But not for me,I remember you,The gypsy in my soul,Close your eyes,Wrap your
troubles in dreams.

A very laid back package from two of Doris Day's early albums(fifties) when her voice
was at it's best. Big sellers when they were released but now, Day by Day sounds a little
dated whereas Day by Night has a lusher string-filled sound. Both albums were orchestrated

EVERLY BROTHERS +1949 ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW JUNE 24TH

EVERLY BROTHERS 100 HITS/LEGENDS...DMG/RHINO...5CDS.

Fabulous harmonies from the Everly Brothers covering all of their hits plus
selections from previous albums over 5 Cds covering 100 recordings. A gold mine
of sixties nostalgia!****.
Tracks played...
Love of my life/Devoted to you / Dancing on my feet / When it's night time in Italy
it's Wednesday over here / I'm so lonesome I could cry / So it always will be / Problems.

HITS OF 1949.....ASV MONO (LIVING ERA))....ASV LTD.

This collection of 25 bestselling records of 1949 is probably difficult to find today. On
CD in the LIVING ERA COLLECTION it is assembled by recording old shellac records from
the forties. The information on the CD cover is excellent with chart positions and million sales
information. The quality is good for old shellac records.  RIDERS IN THE SKY sounds like
a new record....A DREAMER'S HOLIDAY is poor but then Perry Como re- recorded this
hit from the forties ...in the fifties with a more up-to date recording therefore making the old
recording obsolete. The fact that these recordings are the original ones that made the charts
in America and Britain (Britain didn't publish charts till 1952. American publish everything !)
.....is the most important and interesting reason for buying the album.****

EYDIE GORME ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW.MAY 20TH

EYDIE GORME...EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS...REAL GONE MUSIC.
Tracks played...
Love is a season / You're getting to be a habit with me / You're just in love / Love letters
Tip toe through the tulips.

Eight albums on one CD collection is good value, although in this case, most seem to be
in MONO. Good orchestrations but some,dated. Eydie has a sharp voice on some of the
tracks but she is vocally successful on others. A mixed bag.Still good value from a good
singer.***.

JULIE LONDON +EUROVISION 2014 ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW 13TH MAY

JULIE LONDON...ALBUMS JULIE/LOVE ON THE ROCKS...CAPITOL/EMI.
Tracks played...
When the red red robin / Doncha go away mad / What's new? / A cottage for sale / The man that
got away.

Languid voice, close to the microphone,sweat and silky....That's Julie London! It's a
completely different experiance in vocal superbness close to the male crooners of
yesteryear ....but with a strong feminine slant. These two albums joined together here
on one CD are her second and third releases. "Cry me a river" started it all off for Julie
follwed by many album releases all available today. The second album is just slightly
 better than the first. ****.

EUROVISION 2014.    DOWNLOAD. (It's much cheaper)
Tracks played...
Rise like a phoenix...Conchita.(The winner) / Calm after the storm.(2nd) / Coming home
No predudice / Cliche love song / Cheesecake / Children of the Universe / Tick Tock.

Over 35  tracks of this Eurovision contest to listen to is a hard task. The winner and runner up
are appealing and there are some catchy up-tempo tunes to relieve the commercial rubbish but
otherwise it would be better just to download the favourites.....However ....to download the
 whole lot is amazingly inexpensive. ***.

FRANK SINATRA ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW MAY 6TH 2014.

FRANK SINATRA... A SWINGIN' AFFAIR....CAPITOL.

The availability and cost of Sinatra's albums has lately taken a "Good Value" turn in the CD industry
with compilation sets inclusive of eight or even 25 albums that have been  previously released.
All are good value. A Swingin' affair is available as a single costing about £6, and is a follow
up to" Songs for swingin' lovers" .....some say a better album. I say it is just as good with Nelson
Riddle's orchestra smothing their way through 16 tracks. It now includes the previously missing
Lady is a tramp" . Just Great Sinatra.*****.

Take me in your arms / Bella bella bambino / On an evening in Roma.*****.

Superb sophisticated listening. Lush orchestrations behind "Dino" singing at his best. He
caresses the songs with a natural romantic talent. The song choice is excellent....what

DON MC LEAN + MATT MUNRO ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW APRIL 22ND.

DON MC LEAN....FAVOURITES AND RARITIES...UNITED ARTISTS IMPORT.

tracks played...
If we try / Castles in the air / Superman's ghost / Milkman's matinee / Profiteering blues
And mother came too.

48 tracks including ALL his hits with a wealth of new material and a few concert choices
this seems like a very agreeable bargain. On download it is excellent value...buy it on CD
and it costs a lot more. You could say Don McLean is an acquired taste but because of
his versatility many of his songs entertain as well as relaxing your mind. Very enjoyable.*****.


MATT MUNRO....RARE MONRO.....EMI.

Tracks played....Fare thee well my pretty maid / Fools rush in / My kind of girl / Without you
Born free.


Some tracks I have never heard before and on other tracks you have different"takes" of his
hit records. If you are familiar with these songs you will notice the difference. The backing
is altered, Matt sings it slightly differently, the backing is appalling.....and with " My kind of
Girl" the whole concept is new. More Elvis than Sinatra !! Monro's voice conquers all. It is
one of the most pleasing voices I have ever heard. No gimmicks, and in this case, no echo
just perfect singing.*****.

Moondance / For once in my life / Sway / Come fly with me / That's all.

His first album where his relaxed crooning made headway with record buyers.Not as

PALOMA FAITH + ANNE MURRAY ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW 9TH MARCH

PALOMA FAITH....PERFECT CONTRADICTION....RCA/SONY.
tracks played..
Can't rely on you / Only love can hurt like this / Other woman / Impossible heart.

Paloma Faith's first album was a knockout. Strong melodies with a magical soul feel
that blistered your ears with happiness. The second album was good but.....not quite as good
as the first legendary one. This, the third  has a more modern sound at the expense of really
good material. "Can't rely on you" is strutting disco and "Only love can hurt like this" with
a "Spector" wall of sound gets a little lost in it's melody. In fact, with this album the melody does
not linger on. ***.

ANNE MURRAY.... THE BEST SO FAR. EMI MUSIC CANADA.
Tracks played...
Snowbird / Danny's song / A love song / I just fall in love again.

the titles chosen here were her best single hits in America. Country and Western influenced
some of her albums had more interesting tracks that those included on this album but with
twenty tracks and her excellant vocalising it's very soothing and faultless. ****.

Tracks played...
Quiet nights of quiet stars / Por Favor / Can't help falling in love / Night life
Love him / A whisper away.

The last two albums officially recorded for Columbia records before her partial
retirement at the end of the sixties. Her voice was in great form...mellower than
her early years and perfect to continue her recording career. Apart from a few
singles Doris went into part retirement fulfilling her animal sanctuary ambitions
and concentrating on her TV series and Animal TV series. Her wonderful evocative
voice was sadly almost totally neglected. A five star album.*****.

SINATRA SINGLES ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS FEB 17TH.

FRANK SINATRA. THE SINGLES HE MADE TO GET IN THE CHARTS.

Frank Sinatra loved the long playing record when it arrived at  just about the same time
he signed up to Capitol records.A mood was created through a dozen tracks with Orchestrators
such as Billy May or Nelson Riddle conducting behind him. He had achieved many Hit Parade
successes on Columbia records in the forties as the bobbysocks favourite and this stayed with
him as he progressed through his career making sure that he acknowledged the need to appear
regularly in the current charts. He needed to move with the times and he almost always
succeeded. These are the tracks released as singles with the intention of keeping up with
the times and selling lots of  records which would ultimately sell long playing albums.
Both Capitol and Reprise released singles lifted from albums and these I have ignored
as they were never intended for chart positions although on some occasions this occured.
Below are the singles played on the show. All are available on ...THE COMPLETE
REPRISE STUDIO RECORDINGS   and THE CAPITOL SINGLE'S RECORDS.

CARPENTERS + "THE VOICE" ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW MARCH 3RD.

THE VOICE.

Now the series has reached the " Battle" and the "steal" version of the programme we have to
put up with 2 hours 10 minutes,for two weeks, of 48 singers reducing to 24. Too long! The will
to live deserted me after one hour of wailing female singers and slightly embarrassed judges
who have to dump one of their precious chosen choices. Get ready for a rating collapse.
The mature lady Sally is going to win anyway.

CARPENTERS. THEIR GREATEST HITS.   A&M RECORDS.
tracks played....Yesterday once more / Superstar / Top of the world / Touch me
when we're dancing / All you get from love is a love song.

The smooth voice of Karen Carpenter over clever production from her brother Richard
makes this a nostalgia blast of excellance from the early seventies. So relaxed, so sad
yet superb stylings from a wonderful duo.****.

RECORDS THAT HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.

All I have to do is dream....Everly Brothers.
Unfailingly THE record of the late fifties. Beautiful harmonising. Beautiful music.

Let's face the music and dance...Nat King Cole.
A track from a swinging album of well known songs released as a single. Featured
on a TV advert obliterating every other version of the song. There was magic at this
recording session. Nelson Riddle?

What do you want... Adam Faith.
John Barry responsible for those Pitzzicato strings plinking in the background with
Adam Faith's voice growling out the catchy words. A million seller.

Big Spender...Shirley Bassey.
Not high in the charts at the time, but Shirley hit the mark like no other female
vocalist could manage.Special!!

I can't help myself...Four Tops.
Unforgettable, get on the floor and dance, backing with a great commercial lyric,
this is an outstanding Four Tops record that deserved it's success on both sides
of the Atlantic. Still played by DJs today.

HARRY CONNICK JNR ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEB 26TH 2014.

HARRY CONNICK JNR....YOUR SONGS....SONY MUSIC.

Mr Connick employs a laid back orchestra and thirteen well known love
songs which he has conducted and orchestrated to produce this album. Good
 choices and in most cases speeds up the pace from the original performances.
Harry also sings these straight with out the jazz influence on a lot of his CDs.
This will be appreciated by those who are Buble fans as well. Great listening
music.****.

SINGLES THAT STAND THE TEST OF TIME.

Featured each week 5 outstanding singles, released from the fifties onwards,
that are still played today....with good reason!
FEVER...PEGGY LEE.....
If this was a new song and recorded today....it would sound like this.Unique 5piece backing
and a sexy spellbinding song. Although many have tried, nobody has repeated the performance
on this single by Peggy Lee.*****.
AMERICAN PIE....DON MC LEAN
Outstanding composition and feel. The day the music died. A cult single loved by all.*****.
LIPSTICK ON YOUR COLLAR...CONNIE FRANCIS.
Raucous rock opening, great electric guitar, great yeah yeah girl backing....and Connie Francis
giving it her all. 2 minutes of pure pleasure that Film and TV directors have used often. You have
to get up and dance to this one even if you're under 30!!*****
VOLARE....DEAN MARTIN.
Used today here in Britain for a TV advert, and often appearing on radio shows and anything
with an Italian Theme. Simple 5 piece accompaniment beautifully grafted under Dean Martin's
characterful voice. Wow!*****.
EVERYTIME WE SAY GOODBYE...ELLA FITZGERALD.
It's the backing of strings and orchestration here that scores behind Ella's superb styling on
this song. Wistful and sad. The title says it all but Ella sings it better!*****.
