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

Cass Elliot....320 Kbps

When you listen to "The Mama's & The Papa's" Cass's voice blends in well and it is only when she does a solo bit and this L/P when you realise how good a voice she had got and very distintive....I believe that this was the first solo one that she did...a great selection of songs...love "Cherrie's Jubilee" !!!

1. I'll Be Home
2. Baby I'm Yours
3. Jesus Was a Cross Maker
4. That Song
5. When It Doesn't Work Out

1. I'll Be There
2. Disney Girls
3. I Think It's Gonna Rain Today
4. Cherries Jubilee

2. Baby I'm Yours.

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

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.
