"Ho comprato il LP del "The Jerry Vale Italian Album" per mio padre nel 1980. Lo ho sentito questo LP sempre. Quando era uscito il CD del questo LP, ho comprato subito. La voce di Jerry Vale e' bella e dolce. La qualita' del CD e' superiore. La presentazione delle undici canzioni e' magnifico. Senza dubbio, e' un CD troppo buon. Perche solamente tre stelle? -- Sfortunatamente per questo CD; arriva un altro CD, "Jerry Vale Sings the Great Italian Hits." Quello CD porta 18 canzioni -- includere versioni belle e fantastico di "Mala Femmina" "La Luna Rossa" e "Volare." La qualita' di questo CD e' piu superiore ed acuto del CD "The Jerry Vale Italian Album." La voce e' piu vivo. Dunque, Il CD "Jerry Vale sings the Great Italian Hits" e' megliore."
OK, but not Jerry's Best

"Writing as a Jerry Vale connoisseur, the only two songs on this CD that are given the true Vale treatment of emotion and full voiced high notes are "Non Ti Scordar Di Me" and "Amore Scuzami". While the rest are beautifully orchestrated, Jerry's vocals are weaker than normal with too much vocal vibrato. It sounds as though he's concentrating on getting the Italian lyrics correct more than he's paying attention to the emotional values of each song. Consequently, with most of the songs, he sounds unsure of what to do next, and unfortunatley his voice comes across lacking emotion and it's usual perfection. The normal smile in his voice is not there.
A better choice would be his CD "Jerry Vale Sings the Great Italian Hits". There you will find Jerry's recordings bright, energenic, and powerful."
