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. ****.

HITS OF 1955.
Cherry pink and apple blossom white..Perez Prado / Hearts of stone..Fontane sisters.
Finger of suspicion...Dickie Valentine / Tweedle Dee...Georgia Gibbs.
Cool water....Frankie Laine / The yellow rose of Texas...Mitch Miller.
Love is a many splendored thing...Four Aces. ALL MILLION SELLERS.

DORIS DAY ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW JULY 1ST

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
and conducted by Paul Weston and Doris sounds great on both.****.

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.****

PLAYLIST.

At last...Etta James...THE BEST OF...***.
Sea Cruise....DonMcLean.....BELIEVERS.***.
