Ella Swings Gently with Nelson

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Vocalists
by: Ella Fitzgerald

Release Date July 20, 1993
With Nelson Riddle applying his wealth of experience in arranging, conducting and orchestrating to the peerless vocal prowess of the First Lady of Song, there is nothing left to be desired. Everything in this album is totally spic-and-span, flawless, precise and well-executed, simply put, it's utterly sublime!

Known for his most prolific collaboration with the legendary Ol' Blue Eyes, Riddle shows off his consistently superb chart arrangements to its repertoire of fifteen standards. Ella's remarkable interpretations speak of elegance, confidence and gentleness. Here, she is surely in good hands with Riddle who brings out the very best in her. Each song reveals a gentle perfection from the first note to the last. Ella and Nelson have created ... Read More:

Rosemary Clooney - Greatest Hits [RCA Victor]

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Vocalists
by: Rosemary Clooney

Release Date June 06, 2000
Rosemary Clooney - Greatest Hits is a solid CD of her wonderful work and artistry from RCA Victor. The quality of the sound is excellent; and I like the artwork, too. Great!

The album starts with Rosemary doing her very best with "Too Marvelous For Words." Rosemary's voice is in excellent form and she sings this with youthful enthusiasm and all her heart, too. The backup chorus works well and the big band arrangement sounds just perfect! All of this combines to make "Too Marvelous For Words" a very pretty tune and a strong opening for this CD. "Give Me The Simple Life" gets a very sensitive treatment from Rosemary who never misses a beat--even on those tempo changes! There's some great brass on "Give Me The Simple Life," too.

Sweet Charity (1969 Film Soundtrack)

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Vocalists
by: Cy Coleman, Shirley MacLaine, Sammy Davis Jr.

Release Date August 26, 2003
You say to yourself, why did this musical fail so badly at the box office?
And if you're bit of a movie buff like I am, you remember that in the 1960's, just about every musical after THE SOUND OF MUSIC bombed. DR. DOOLITTLE, STAR, HELLO DOLLY and thats just from Fox. DARLING LILI, PAINT YOUR WAGON from Paramount. FINIANS RAINBOW from Warners, GOODBYE MR.CHIPS from MGM. And then came Universal's turn...

It was to be the studio's grandest picture of 1969. Topping off a period that saw talent agency MCA's take over Universal. The building of the "black tower", the creation of the "Universal Studios tour", the construction of the Sheraton Universal hotel and the beginning development and expansion of Universal City itself. Studio boss Lew Wasserman, ... Read More:

The Ultimate Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Vocalists
by: Billie Holiday

Release Date April 05, 2005
This is a lovely collection of Ms. Holiday's finest. My dad wanted a copy of the 20th Century Masters Collection I have of hers and since Christmas was coming up, I decided to buy him his own copy of the disc rather than just burning him a copy. I came to [...] and looked for that disc, but saw a ad for this one - this not only had all of the songs on the other album, but a whole other CD worth, too! Plus, it has a great DVD full of concert clips and interviews. My dad was stoked when he got his present and has been listening to it nonstop for a few days now :)

Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Harold Arlen Songbook

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Vocalists
by: Ella Fitzgerald

Release Date October 09, 2001
Ella Fitzgerald possessed the unique talent to be able to record so many extensive songbooks and always come out smelling like a rose. Her voice is in excellent form throughout this two CD set; and she emotes so very well all the feelings that Harold Arlen could ever have dreamed for his timeless music.

While people know Ella Fitzgerald, not everyone knows that Harold Arlen wrote the music for such wonderful classic songs as "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road);" "It's Only A Paper Moon;" "I've Got The World On A String;" "Stormy Weather (Keeps Rainin' All The Time);" and the timeless "Over The Rainbow." Ella does great justice to Arlen's work by throwing herself completely into each tune; and the musical accompaniments by Billy May are brilliantly produced. ... Read More:

It Had to Be You

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Vocalists
by: Harry Connick Jr.

Release Date April 29, 1993
I recently discovered this CD and I have been listening to it non-stop for over three weeks now. The overwhelming talent and musical vision of this jazz icon never ceases to amaze me. Who would have ever imagined back in 1993 when this album was released that 11 years later we would be experiencing the greatest resurgence of interest in songs from the Great American Songbook ever. Almost single handedly he has managed to create a new fresh awareness to these musical jewels, and even now in 2004 he continues to reacquaint the world to these classics. His original interpretations of these timeless tunes brings them back to life, and proves once more that these perfectly crafted songs will last forever.

If you LOVE listening to GREAT CROONERS and BIG BAND SWING, I would also ... Read More:
