ANDREA BOCELLI CINEMA....UNIVERSAL.
Tracks payed....
Be my love / Lara's theme / Ol man river / Amore Via / Cheek to cheek.
Not one of Andrea's best recordings. Ol man river was really an incorrect choice . Cheek to cheek is a crooner's song not ever....an operatic choice and I have to admit that many of the songs range from strange vocal heights that I don;t understand. That said, there are many gems on this album so 4 stars will suffice on this occasion.****.
JAMIE LAWSON....GINGERBREAD RECORDS / WARNER MUSIC GROUP.
Tracks played...
Wasn't expecting that / Someone for everyone / Cold in Ohio / Let love hold you now.
Jamie Lawson has an unusual voice , light and breaking , which holds power and emotion for the big hit " Wasn't expecting that". Immaculately recorded and beautifully vocalised it is a standout on this his first album. So good that it overshadows the rest of the tracks and Mr Lawson never has to find another powerful performance with the rest of his songs. The album is not expensive(£8) and that voice is very attractive. ****.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING VIC DAMONE AND DOO-WOP CLASSICS. 20TH OCTOBER 2015.
VIC DAMONE THE COLLECTION...COLUMBIA RECORDS.
tracks played....On the street where you live / Long before I knew you / An affair to remember / You're breaking my heart / You and the night and the music / Ooooh my love / A new romance in old Roma / My romance.
As good value as sixty tracks on a three Cd package is, there are some duds featured amongst the gems....however I counted 30 very respectable vocal performances of well known songs. Vic Damone has a fantastic voice and these recordings were made when he was at the top of his form.****.
REMEMBER THEN....30 ORIGINAL DOO-WOP CLASSICS. POLYGRAM RECORDS.
Tracks played...
Remember then...The Earls / Why do fools fall in love...Frankie Lymon & The teenagers / Blue moon...The Marcels / At the hop....Danny & The Juniors / My special angel.....Bobby Helms / Duke of Earl....Gene Chandler / Little darlin'...The Diamonds / The three Bells....The Browns.
A late fifties package of increasingly annoying music or great fun music depending on how the mood takes you. Nostalgia abounds on this album ,but at least, they are all the original recordings and that makes it a very satisfying package.***.
