Thanks For The Memory...The Great American Songbook IV
:Album Description:Japanese pressing features the tracks 'My Funny Valentine', 'Nevertheless', 'Let's Fall In Love', 'Taking A Chance On Me', the title track and more plus an exclusive bonus track. J-Records. 2005. :Accuse Rod Stewart of what you like--through the years he's been called a philanderer, a has-been, a pageant-ish progenitor of puff rock--but as he has consistently proved with his Great American Songbook series, the concept of dignity is not lost on him. There is a time, after all, for leaping across stages in leopard-print spandex while shamelessly parading an unparalleled ...

De-Lovely
:Album Description:European version of 19-track soundtrack includes the bonus track 'Easy To Love' - Kevin Kline. Columbia. :At first glance, the approach picked for De-Lovely will be familiar to those who already own Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter. On both albums, contemporary pop stars cover classics by Porter. But many of the interpretations on Red Hot + Blue were modernized, whereas the approach on De-Lovely is more traditional---it's the soundtrack to a biopic about Porter, after all, so a classic (though not quite period) sound prevails. What's ...

Reloaded: Greatest Hits
: :Tom Jones all but invented saucy power pop back before the sixties even started to swing when his second single 'It's Not Unusual' rocketed up the UK charts in 1965. After that initial triumph the singer never looked back, tying his hair back with a thin black ribbon and putting some rather expressive body English into his stage moves, which assured that the stage floor would be routinely pelted with various undergarments pitched by enthusiastic fans. Almost four decades later both Jones and his audience are no less fervent as Wales' ...

A New Standard
: :A New Standard builds on the popularity of Steve Tyrell's appearances in the Father of the Bride movies.

A New Standard includes the final recorded performances of trumpet great Harry 'Sweets' Edison, who solos on 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore' and 'I've ...

16 Most Requested Songs
: :It's been suggested that almost as many baby boomers were conceived to the romantic sounds of Johnny Mathis's voice as to Sinatra's--and when you consider that Johnny's Greatest Hits stayed on Billboard's Top 40 chart for 178 weeks beginning in '58 (that's more than twice as long as Dark Side of the Moon, folks!), it's easy to understand why. Sony has used this '16 Most Requested' routine on a number of their easy-listening vocalists (including Sinatra and Andy Williams), but this one is special in that it takes the cream of ...

The Hit Singles Collection
:Album Description:Rhino release featuring 20 swingin' tracks released from 1958-1966 on the Atco, Capitol and Atlantic labels. 2002. :Bobby Darin was one of the most personally complex and unpredictable artists of the rock era. Indeed, it's hard to find another major artist who reinvented himself with the deceptive ease and overwhelming success chronicled on this 20-track highlight disc. After scoring three lively and considerable Top 10 successes in the space of a year in the late 1950s ('Splish Splash,' 'Queen of the Hop,' 'Dream Lover'), Darin traded in his teen idol ...
