One of the first crooners I fell in love with. I had been feeding myself rock n roll since the british invasion. Englebert and Tom Jones both opened my ears to other music, leading me to explore Sinatra and the like. This double cd might be a bit of overkill, but out of the 44 tracks, there is only 1 I don't care for. That's hard to do for any artist. Still it just misses a love score overall, even though 13 tracks achieve that. Only 3 artists could manage that love status over 44 songs for me. This covers about 10 years and 8 albums over the mans career. Considering that he is still performing it could have gone much deeper. Amazing for anyone to keep it up for that long. Vegas can do that for those that are over the hill. Not going to list the 44 tracks. Even I have limits.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

i like Engelbert, but sadly, dont own anything...that will change,he's on my christmas list...
BTW, Tom Jones once said that engelbert and john farnham have the best voices he has ever heard...!

Eddie Fisher...
marries to Debbie Reynolds,Elizabeth Taylor and Connie Stevens, father to Carrie Fisher.
crooner from the pre-pop era, but a pop star in his own right in the late 1940s-mid 1950s....
this album contains his siganture tune in "oh,my papa"...the other songs are in the same mold as that that one...
nothing bad on here, nothing great neither IMO, just a steady album of pre-pop easy listening material...
i only bought this album because i wanted "oh my papa"...it was my Grandfathers favourite song, he always used to sing it around me and it has always bought back fond memories of my childhood, and of a fine man,one who molded me into the guy i now am...RIP Ronald Harbord.
Eddie died aged 82 in 2010 following complications from hip surgery in his home town of Philadelphia,PA.

CHRIS REA "shamrock diaries" cd, 1985
career stats:
STUDIO ALBUMS....23
LIVE ALBUMS.........1
COMPILATIONS......11
SINGLES...............72
album stats: #15 UK, #41 AU
single stats:

Chris Rea has to be one of the most underrated/under-appreciated singer/songwriter/guitarists in popular music IMO...
i have five albums and either love or almost love all of them...yet he never really set any charts alight in his career...
this album is typical easy listening/soft rock type stuff that we expect off Chris, lots of lovely melodies,lyrics and vocals also...
Chris(as i just found out via wikipedia) was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in 2001 and defied all the odds to survive this normally lethal disease...
in 2005 he retired from making solo records but still occasionally pops up on other peoples albums and still occasionally tours with Memphis Fireflies...
but, all up a very good album from a very good artist
