Perry s just Perry - Perfect! - My wife wanted the song More and we found it on this 2-disk set. She s been playing it all the time and loves it!
give that man a spotlight !!! - Perry Como: Greatest Hits is a fabulous two CD set that is worth every penny you ll spend on it! Perry never sounded better--and the sound quality is excellent. The artwork is very nicely done, too. Prisoner Of Love is a charming ballad from Perry s earlier years in show business, and his voice is strong and full of masculine warmth. Perry never misses a note and the arrangement is very beautiful. Temptation is another ballad that shines equally bright when Perry delivers this so flawlessly--how impressive! It amazes me whenever I hear this ballad. I m Always Chasing Rainbows is yet another highlight of this set, Perry croons this with all his heart and soul. Just one listen proves it! When You Were Sweet Sixteen has Perry singing an old fashioned ballad--but when he sings this, it truly sounds fresh and new. I love it! Similarly, Some Enchanted Evening, from South Pacific, never sounded so beautiful as when Perry Como delivers this to perfection--and beyond! In addition, I m Gonna Love That Gal (Like She s Never Been Loved Before) is one of my very favorite Perry Como songs, the big band arrangement enhances the natural beauty of this tune and Perry makes this a masterpiece in his capable hands. If is another huge Perry Como hit, and the strings that accompany him make this a most charming ballad. Don t Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes picks up the tempo quite a bit for this upbeat ballad that belies the anxiety Perry s character feels as he leaves and hopes his sweetheart will be faithful to him until he returns to her.The second CD continues the hits. Wanted is a stunning ballad that I always enjoy, Perry never misses a note! The melody is very pretty. Maybe has Perry doing a fine duet with the great Eddie Fisher, together these tow men harmonize wonderfully and it all works very well. Great! Patricia is also a remarkably beautiful ballad. Hoop-Dee-Doo is polka music that is really very beautiful. Catch A Falling Star shines like silver and gold when Perry sings this, and Papa Loves Mambo is another tune Perry did to please his adoring audiences. Wow!(There s No Place Like) Home For The Holidays is one of the best Christmastime numbers ever recorded by any artist, and listen for It s Impossible. It s Impossible was recorded in Perry s later years but he sounds so great you d never know it. For The Good Times is yet another fine number that Perry infuses with so much grace and style it actually stuns me with its beauty, and this makes a great ending for the two CD set.Perry Como was one of the best crooners ever, and this two CD set shows us why. This is a must-have for Perry Como fans, and people who like classic pop vocals and even the oldies will want this, too.
This is not just for easy listening... - During the years when I was growing up, Perry Como records were confined to the easy listening section. It was music that your grandmother might listen to. But this collection proves that Perry or Mr.C could swing and also sing with a feeling of color, warmth and even jazziness. Songs like Wanted are smooth and pure. Other songs like Tina-Marie are quite rockin and other tunes like Papa Loves Mambo are alot of fun. Even if you are not a Perry Como enthusiast, I think this CD may change your opinion. The sound does seem to grow on a person. What gets me is the feeling of effortlessness.
Hot Diggity! - Growing up with Perry Como s music, this was a great find to bring back those wonderful days of innocence.
Greatest Hits - Perry Como - I didn t realize this would go back (in years) so far, and I wasn t familiar with some of the oldies. However, I really enjoy most of the songs. Would recommend to baby boomers who love Perry s voice.
