yes i remember LMD...

1. Two hearts
2. Only The Lonely
3. Blue Spanish Sky
4. Dancin'

Ah, yeah, Two Hearts doesn't really do it for me too much either. I love Chris, but, that song just falls flat. Only The Lonely's a bit too slow for me too. There are times where I really dig it, but most of the time I find it to be one of his weaker ones.

Absolutely LOVE Blue Spanish Sky and Dancin' though. That horn solo in BSS gets me every time.

Interesting selection/review though.

great vocalist that never got the recognition he deserved

[CRAZY-HORSE]

i love Sammy...great entertainer IMO

he used to come over here for charity events almost every year from 1970 until his death, used to donate one of his massive pieces of jewellery each time to auction off to raise money...he sure had a heart as big as the moon..

dont have anything by him but i should have

PERRY COMO "16 most requested songs" cd, 1995.

my only PC album...bought this one a week or so ago, had to put it on top of the pile because i hadnt heard much of him in a long time...
strange this one doesnt contain "its impossible"...?, his signature tune i suspect?!
the crooner affectionately known as "mr.c" or "mr.nice guy" made some of the finest easy listening tracks over his forty plus year career at RCA...
this one contains at least half a dozen of my favourites, but alas, no "its impossible", but it'll do as "magic moments","for the good times" and "and i love you so" are included...
all up, a good album of cool songs.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

ROBBIE WILLIAMS "swing when you're winning" cd,2001 #1 UK, #3 AU

Robbie's fourth album...the third was titled 'sing when youre winning' so this fourth one was a play on words as its a swing/jazz covers set...
all the usual swing/jazz suspects are on here from 'mack the knife','beyond the sea' through to 'mr.bojangles' and beyond...
i actually thought i liked this one better than than the score indicates, but obviously not, im thinking that the studio recorded versions lack a little spark or kick of the live versions i saw which got me to buy this originally...
only one single was lifted off this one...a duet with Nicole Kidman of "somethin' stupid" whixh made it to #1 in the UK, and #8 here in Australia, also,according to wikipedia, made the top ten in a lot of other countries also...
not a bad album,barely makes the passing grade, but okay, if not only for the fact that a new generation of music lovers got to hear the old classics for the first time!

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

PAUL McCARTNEY "unplugged:the official bootleg" cd,1991.[B] #7 UK, #14 US[/B]

after his massive world tour of 1990, Macca headed into the MTV studios to face an audience of some fifty or so fans...
some of those fans taped the show and were selling it on the "www", so Macca ruch released this set to combat the bootleggers,thus,the aptly titled set!
this one was actually recorded totally acoustically with all instruments having their own mic's to pick up the sounds rather than being plugged in, giving a real acoustic session...
included on this one is,according to macca, the first song he ever wrote in "i lost my little girl". elsewhere there are some rare covers in "blue moon of kentucky", "hi heel sneakers","singing the blues" and "be bop a lula" to name a few...
we even see him pull three tracks from his debut solo set "mccartney" also(tracks 8,12 and 17), along with a rare live version of The Beatles "she's a woman"...
even band guitarist Hamish Stuart pulls a couple out of the hat showing his talents as a vocalist on "and i love her" and "aint no sunshine"...
interesting to note the false start at the beginning of "we can work it out" where macca starts the second verse instead of the opening verse at the beginning, but like he says "seeing as its informal, we'll start again"...LOL!
i just feel as though Macca's vocals are quite flat at times which lets this one down a bit, but in the scheme of things where else can you find him singing a lot of these tracks...nowhere i suspect, unless its around the dining table, and i guess i'll never get that privilage, so this will suffice!
also, this album became Macca's best selling album in the US since 1982's superb "tug of war" set....
