BROOK BENTON THE ESSENTIAL RECORDINGS...PRIMO.
Tracks played...
Endlessly / Hurtin' inside / So many ways / Fools rush in / Frankie and Johnny / Revenge ./ Shadrack / Careless love / Hit record / Will you still love me tomorrow.
Excellent value at 40 tracks all collected from singles released by Benton late fifties and early sixties.
All his hits are here including American only hits. A smooth deep vocalist who imparts soul into all of his recordings even with the commercial singles included here. It's in stereo and because it's early stereo ,sometimes the orchestra and chorus are left with just Brook Benton right. I enjoyed it thoroughly. ****.

MICHAEL BUBLE...TO BE LOVED...REPRISE.
tracks played....
To love somebody / Who's lovin' you / Something stupid ( with Reese Witherspoon ) / Close your eyes / I got it easy.
This album is not one of his best. It's pretty good, don't get me wrong, but sometimes the orchestrations don't live up to the vocals. Choice of material also lets the album down slightly and many of the tracks played yesterday have never been played on the airwaves. However their are 7 plum tracks that are well worth the price of the album.****.
