"I feel like I should have on my "poodle skirt", "saddle shoes" and be sipping an "egg cream". Jeff has transported me back to the 50's...a time when life was carefree and fun....and romance was in the air as well as on the car radio....Jeff feels the songs and can make you believe there was no better time to be alive!....Thank god for Jeff Harnar!!....We may not know what happiness and love was intended for....until there was your voice showing us what it means....and "Because of You"....we owe you a debt of gratitude...for bringing these beautiful melodies into our hearts......"Because of You"....we can all sit back and remember a time where music was being etched in our soul remaining forever timeless to us. "Because of You" we can now thank you for having the insight, the vision, and the remarkably good taste to help all of us dream and recollect why music is so important in our lives...."Because of You" Jeff....simply because of you....!



Jeff Harnar has taken 12 tracks and turned these songs into his own "American Bandstand"...and I can tell you, each song by Jeff is a "10" and "easy to dance too"....His voice is the only voice that can transport these songs back to our memories and place a smile on our faces...his vocal training is masterful and quite evident....still so soft at times and then powerful enough to flatten the bouffant hairdo into a "That Girl" flip....



The 50's were such a fun time so if you care to become stress free for about an hour or so...you must purchase "Because of You - Fifties Gold" and let Jeff lead you back to the sock hop, back to the slick haired pompadours... and be placed among the very "Young at Heart"...oh what a time......I can barely sit still listening to this CD.....:)



Now "It's Not For Me To Say"....but I'll say it anyway.....this is HEAVEN..."PURE HARNAR HEAVEN".....at it's best!!!!!!!!! I have finally found a singer that can take any song, from any era, from any lyrisicst/songwriter/composer and stamp it and make it a "Jeff Harnar Original"....Jeff must be the best kept secret, but after reading my all my review's on this incredible artist,...my secret is out of the bag.....and I'm happy to share it with all of you....



Run, don't walk and purchase this CD.....It is a dream......But a warning, when you hear him sing "Quizas"...I hope you'll be sitting down, at least for the first run..after that, I know you will be up dancing.......I am still smiling listening to this one...The man can not only sing, but has "sex appeal" originating out of his very soul....oh my....oh my..

J E F F H A R N A R....remember the name....you will never FORGET IT!



"The Little White Cloud That Cried"...was the most amazing song I have ever heard and Jeff turned this into PERFECTION once again......the words..the softness and his emotion is spilling out all over this disc....UNBELIEVABLE JOB.....You have reduced me to tears.....stunning, stunning job....!



"Stranger in Paradise/Angel" was REMARKABLE....Jeff's voice belongs in every home in America....only after you have heard the vocals of this SINGING STAR will you understand how UNIQUE he is....This is a moment where you MUST hear his voice to understand truly to your soul what perfection sounds like in all it's glory!



"Smile/Cry" is BRILLIANT!!!....that is all I can say...BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



This CD may be dedicated to Marilyn and Bob., but on a personal note, I want to thank you both for giving to the world a son whose talent and extraordinary gifts are making millions around the world extremely happy!....You gave us a genius and we are all the more luckier and grateful to hear him sing...



Thank you Marilyn and Bob, for your special love inspired your son to produce a tribute to your unconditional love for each other....Your son is a very special man and I'm sure you are as proud as any two parents can be....Thank you for Jeff...



"Because of You"...I believe there is a song in all of our hearts!!!!!!!!!"
