5.0 out of 5 stars Truly The Best, January 31, 2001

I owned this CD before the very popular "Forever Plaid" musical (in which a lot of this wonderful music is borrowed), was produced. If you love that show as I did (saw it twice), these guys are it's inspiration. There were a lot of great male groups during the 50's, but The Four Lads were truly top banannas. The 16 songs contained in this CD are the tunes that they're most famous for..."Standing On The Corner", "No, Not Much", "Moments To Remember", etc. If you're new to this group, this is a good place to start. However, if you're a long time fan this is essential for your library. Total enjoyment!

The Four Lads 16 Most Requested Songs is an excellent CD and I am so sorry that this is currently out of print! This is a fine CD of great tunes by The Four Lads and you will really like this if you like other groups like The Four Aces and others from back in the day. The sound quality is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done, too.

"Standing On The Corner" is a fine number that Dean Martin often liked to sing; and when The Four Lad sing it this tune is full of pep and the woodwind instruments do a lot to enhance the musical arrangement. The Four Lads harmonize to perfection and it really makes this album shine when they have numbers like this one on it! "Who Needs You" has more great harmonizing and the strings are used to great advantage. I love it! The Four Lads sing this pretty love song with heart and soul; and just one listen proves it! These songs are truly timeless; they still sound good today and lovers everywhere will still enjoy slow dancing to music like this all alone in their living rooms late at night.

"The Mocking Bird" has another pretty melody that has just a very slight twist of country to make this shine; and The Four Lads come in at all the right times to make "The Mocking Bird" glisten like gold! "The Mocking Bird" is a very fine tune and I predict that you'll enjoy it. "Not So Much" is a tender song and The Four Lads were born to sing songs like this! "Not So Much" is a passionate love song and it adds a lot to this album.

"Tonight" is from the musical entitled West Side Story; and The Four Lads sing this with a great deal of passion, heart and soul. The Four Lads harmonize well and the individual lyrics are equally bright. "Tonight" is yet another timeless love song and it clearly is a major highlight of this album. Great! There's also "Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words);" now THIS was always my idea of a splendid love ballad and I could never tire of hearing The Four Lads singing "Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)."

"Moments To Remember" is another classic tune that shines so bright when The Four Lads sing it to perfection--and beyond! "Moments To Remember" is a wonderful song that I seem to have always known--I remember hearing it that long ago. This is one of those songs that once you hear it you can never forget it. It's all THAT good, especially when The Four Lads handle it with all their great style!

"Time After Time" is a tender love song that I love so very much; now THIS is anything but elevator music! The Four Lads sing this with heart and a great deal of feeling; and this is easily another major highlight of this album. "Why Can't You Behave" has a fine musical arrangement that uses the brass well; and when The Four Lads sing this I am convinced that no other group could ever do this one better! The album ends very well with The Four Lads singing "Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing;" "Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing" shins brighter than silver and gold put together.

The Four Lads can never be truly forgotten--look at what they could do! Hopefully this CD will be back in print soon; and meanwhile people can still enjoy the singular talents of this group. I highly recommend this for fans of classic pop vocals as well.

This CD may be the best that I own. The sound quality is great, and the lovable tunes are even greater. There are some real tear jerkers on this CD. I simply love it!
