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.
PLAYLIST
One more time....Dean Martin....DOWNLOAD.**.
I'll see you in my dreams...Joe Brown...SINGLE.***.
An improvision on "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy"...Ray Conniff...CONCERT IN RHYTHM 2****.

Young girl...Gary Puckett & Union Gap....DOWNLOAD.****.

characterful voice. Wow!*****.

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.*****.

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.*****.
