"There are very few strong voices on Broadway of late that make you remember the days of Howard Keel, etc. and the great era of Broadway songs. Ron Raines pays tribute to all of your favorites and does not disappoint! His voice is rich and clear, and takes you back to the stage with just a few notes. For those who have the opportunity to hear him sing live -- definitely do not miss your chance. Ron is even better live, and is a treat to his fans off-stage as well. I saw him in October of 2002 last and he IS working on a new album to be finished in the spring. It will definitely be on my "pre-order" list!! Kudos Ron!! You are the best!!! Now if only we could get Guiding Light to let you sing this holiday season....."

"Ever since I saw Ron Raines in "A tribute to Rogers and Hammerstein in Baltimore, I have played this album over and over. The songs are great and it puts me in a good mood for the day."

"Ron Raines proves that he is not just a great actor, but he has fantastic voice quality with his"Broadway Passions!" He sounds like Robert Goulet, Robert Preston, Ezio Pinza, and Gordon MacRae all wrapped up in one terrific and heart-warming arrangement of the very best of Broadway! His voice is top-notch in my book...in fact, I have told so many of my friends about this CD, that it is often difficult to obtain! I am so glad that I can order what I need here at Amazon. Thanks!"
A real voice for broadway

"It is so refreshing to hear a guy with a real voice that has depth and emotion sing these great songs. If you miss Robert Goulet, Harve Presnel, etc, this is for you. Not one of the thin tinny voices that passes on the stage these days. You get the feeling and volume these songs require."
