A marvelous album, deserving of far more attention... A fine stylistic tour de force that, thankfully, doesn't succumb to the (at times corny) sound of its day and age (1967).

The title track, "All" is great; the cover of Petula Clark's, "This Is My Song" is also a stand-out...

All in all -- "All" is a terrific album.

James Darren in fine voice and spirit.

Back in the 1960s I was a huge fan of James Darren and then his television show "The Time Tunnel". In 1967, shortly before my 12th birthday, my grandmother bought me this album. I was ecstatic. It has been a favorite of mine since that time. I was never too young to enjoy the lush stylings of these lovely tunes. The title song, "All," is most excellent. I'm also very fond of "Lady" (not to be confused with the Lionel Ritchie/Kenny Rogers song of the same name). For those of you who have discovered James Darren through his holographic character of Vic Fontaine on "Deep Space Nine" and are looking for songs similar to his later renderings, this is the CD. The timeless tunes evoked here are much more in keeping with his latest two CDs than with the teenage tragedy stuff of his original music. "All" was a long time coming, but definitely worth the wait. What was once old, is now new again.

This is only a fair album but if you are a James Darren fan you should get it.
