I like this cd because Al Hibbler phrasing of the lyrics makees his songs easy to listen to, similar to Frank Sinatra. You You get the feeling that you there in person listening to him sing.

Al Hibbler knows how to punch it out and this CD takes you to the night clubs of the past with gentlemen in French cuffs and ladies dressed to please. A lady just couldn't pay for her own drink with Hibbler singing. The entire CD gives a fun lift to the type of musice that often can become as depressing as being the last one at the bar at closing time. Highly recommneded.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blind, bitter, black and blacklisted, April 12, 2006

This review is from: After the Lights Go Down Low (Audio CD)

Blind from birth, bitter about racial problems, and in possession of a voice on a par with Billy Eckstine and Arthur Prysock-nobody wanted to record Al Hibbler despite early chart success with "Unchained Melody", "He", and "After the Lights Go Down Low". Following his civil rights arrests in the 1950's and 60's there were few gigs, no airplay and no contracts. Only one man would step up to record Al Hibbler. That individual was Frank Sinatra and his Reprise Records.
Hibbler's great delivery ranks him with the "big" singers of any generation. Even his fake British accent (on "After the Lights" & other songs) can't detract from the smooth and powerful vocals delivered by a man who should have been a "giant" in the music business. Hey, why not make a movie about Al Hibbler's life?
