Shirley Bassey

The year is 1968 and " Shirley" is in top form showing us just what a great singer she is..just on the start of her worldwide popularity...One of the best of her early recordings even "007" gives it a thumbs up !!

4. If Love Were All

Dean Martin

Another set of Dean Martin's Tunes....some familiar.. some not.. but a good L/P

5. The Look

South Pacific....320 Kbps

The covers of this L/P is what I got from the internet mine are ripped and in tatters....This as you see is the soundtrack from the film and it seems that the only two people that actually sang was "Mitzi Gaynor" & "Ray Walston"...all the rest were dubbed by different people....shame they didn't get actors that could sing to be in it !!

Bobbie Gentry....320 Kbps

This L/P is recorded as "Side One" & Side Two"....reason being that in between the tracks there are "Musical Interludes" that meant that there is not much time between tracks and I think it is an integral part of the L/P so I left them in.....A gentle set of songs all written by Bobbie with a "Country & Western" feel !!

Perry Como....320 Kbps

The Original "Mr Laid Back" gives good interpretations of some late 60's early 70's contemporary songs...these were recorded from 1968 to 1975....so I assume that this might be a compilation L/P....the producers range from "Chet Atkins"to "Don Costa" via "Pete Spargo"
"Andy Wiswell" "Ernie Altschular"......It is a very quiet soothing and as usual "Laid Back Effort" from "Mr C" !!!....And it includes his Hit "Its Impossible" !!!

1. And I Love You
2. The Way We Were
3. Seattle
4. Close To You
5. If

Andy Williams...320 Kbps

Here's that big record producer of the 70's "Richard Perry" taking on "Andy Williams"...he certainly worked with some of the great singers and produced some brilliant L/P's.....He's worked with "Barbra Sriesand" "Ella" "Leo Sayer" and loads more just check him out on "Google" to see how diverse he is !!....All the songs on this L/P are contempory of the song composers of the 1970's...and not a standard in sight !!....and a great different version of "Walk Right Back" !!!

1. Solitaire
2. Make It Easy For Me
3. You Are The Sunshine Of my Life
4. Getting Over You
5. Remember

1. That Is All
2. Walk Right Back
3. Last Tango In Paris

Xavier Cugat & His Orchestra

Neil Sedaka

What a great singer and song writer is "Neil Sedaka"....he has composed loads of songs for himself and other singers...this L/P has my favourite song by him on it "Betty Grable"....just a simple arrangement piano and Neil singing Grrrrrrreat....In fact will post the track here as well as the L/P so you can hear what I am on about !!!...great lyrics as well...wonder if he wrote them or was it "Greenfield" thats the other name on the credits of the song.....any "Neil Sedaka" enthusiasts out there who can enlighten me ?

P.S. this was the comment that was posted earlier !!

Great album - thanks Luigi. Howard Greenfield was the lyricist. Sadly he died of AIDS in 1986 aged just 49.
