Synopsis

Album Description
2007 two CD reissue edition of one of the best collections ever released by the Sony-BMG/Columbia label. Each track was meticulously researched and assembled by famed producer, composer and arranger Tony Hatch, a man who worked at the epicenter of popular music in the late 1950's and 1960's, the era spotlighted in this series. Another luminary of the time, singer/songwriter Jimmy Webb, also consulted on the assemblage, giving liberally of his expertise. Anyone who listened to the radio in this period will easily recognize any of these songs and evoke fond memories of a solid gold era of Pop music. This initial volume includes tracks from Doris Day, Andy Williams, Tony Bennett, Scott Walker, Vic Damone, Matt Monro, Louis Armstrong, Julie London, Mel Torme and many many more. Sony-BMG.

CD Reviews

The first of a great trilogy of easy-listening compilations
Peter Durward Harris | Leicester England | 05/18/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This compilation of classic easy-listening music from the fifties and sixties sold so well that two sequels were released (More music to watch girls by, Music to watch girls by volume 3). This type of music has a significant fan base in Britain as the more recent series of compilations (Memories are made of this) confirms.



This collection features three songs by Vic Damone (On the street where you live, Almost like being in love, It had to be you) and two each by Andy Williams (Music to watch girls by, Can't take my eyes off you), Petula Clark (Don't sleep in the subway, Downtown), Doris Day (Perhaps perhaps perhaps, Move over darling) and Nancy Sinatra (These boots are made for walking, Sugar town).



There are other famous classics here including Spanish eyes (Al Martino), Beyond the sea (Bobby Darin), Moon River (Danny Williams - no relation to Andy as far as I know, but Danny's version was a UK number one hit), Magic moments (Perry Como), That's amore (Dean Martin), Love letters in the sand (Pat Boone) and Let there be love (Nat King Cole) - and that's just a few of them.



This is a magnificent compilation of easy listening music from the fifties and sixties. With 38 tracks, there is plenty to enjoy."
More great songs
