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!*****.

PETER GRANT ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEB 4TH 2014.

PETER GRANT....CD PETER GRANT ...UNIVERSAL
tracks played...
Walk away / The fool on the hill / You're the first, the last, my everything.
Spooky.

Still one of the great first albums ever released by a new British singer.
This young man Peter Grant showed great maturity even when appearing on TV
and through his choice of music to sing. After this CD did not receive
the adulation expected things changed. The next two albums showed a move away
to a more modern feel. I feel someone should have stuck to their guns and released
another album with the same idea as this one. It is so good.*****.
