This review is from: And Awaaay We Go (Audio CD)

Jackie Gleason recorded dozens of albums of instrumental "mood music", but he only recorded one album where he sang. It was a 10-inch LP that was released in 1954 (I actually have a near mint copy of it). The album featured eight comedy songs, most of which were based on his catchphrases. The songs are usually sung in character as one of his famous creations. They are actually pretty amusing songs, although it helps to be familiar with the characters the songs are based on. The CD adds several bonus tracks, most of which are "mood music" that served as themes on his TV show. But there are also two funny poems recited in character as Reggie Van Gleason III ("Casey at the Bat" and "I Had But Fifty Cents"). Fans of Jackie Gleason will enjoy this CD.

If you are a fan of Jackie Gleason and his wonderful collection of characters, this is the CD for you! My favorite is none other than Mr. Ralph Kramden and "ONE OF THESE DAYS (POW!!!) This one is a must for any Honeymooners fan! This is a collection that will be treasured for many many years to come!
