Search - Perry Como :: Love Collection 1

A good easy listening CD.

"Perry's singing is flawless but also a bit boring at times. However, there are some great tunes on here especially I THINK OF YOU with a great chart by Don Costa and THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS. Those two songs alone make the CD worth it!"

Nice selection of Como's later material

"Perry Como's biggest popularity was in the pre-rock era of the late 1940s and early 1950s. But after that, he continued singing in the same style, even having some million-selling hits as late as 1970 ("It's Impossible" which is included on this CD) and 1973 ("And I Love You So").



This CD highlights those later years, with recordings Como made from 1962 to 1987. And listening to them, I was struck by the fact that, unlike some other singers, his voice didn't get significantly less pleasant to listen to over those years. This is a very good collection of Como's later work, and worth listening to."

Perry Como - Happily remembered

"Perry Como's voice is a consistently welcome sound. For me his songs in "The Love Collection" are like old friends, but my wife had never heard them before the CD arrived. We both enjoy it very much, and she commented that his voice is superior to both Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, both of whom we also like to listen to. We have a problem right now in playing it too frequently."
