I recomend this audio cd. Dick has a wonderful voice and he touches my heart listening to this cd. I think may people will enjoy it. He has a soft spoken voice. I listen to alot.

I was very glad to find that Amazon[.com] is carrying Dick Summer's audio CDs. I began listening to Dick back in the mid-1960s, on WBZ AM in Boston, and later in New York. His voice can soothe jagged nerves in minutes, no matter what he's saying. His "Lovin' Touch" series displays not only his voice talents, but his skills as a writer and an observer of human nature. Young or old, man or woman, madly in love or still searching for that someone special, these stories strike a chord in us all. He captures universal feelings. No saccharin sweet, forgettable moments here.

The first time I played "Bedtimes Stories," I quickly became caught up in his words and did not realize that my wife was listening from another room. She grew up in the South and had never heard of Dick Summer. As the last story ended, she walked over to my chair, leaned down, kissed me, and said "That was romantic." Clearly, you don't have to familiar with Dick's work to appreciate it immediately.

Listening to "Bedtime Stories" can relax you, make you think, make you remember a lost love, or remind you why you love the one you're with, all in the course of one CD. I highly recommend "Bedtimes Stories."

I just listened to this Cd again after about 30 times . His voice is the sound of a soft summer shower as you are walking through a forest ; as sensual as a first kiss from the girl you admired for months but were afraid to apparoach;
Dick Summer is the the only one that could dull your nerves and at the same time heighten your senses! Thank You , Dick Summer!

Dick Summer is a great story teller! Whether you are familiar with Dick from his Loving Touch books of poetry or from his career in radio, you will welcome this CD. The CD should also create new fans for Dick's warm and soothing style of narration.

Dick says his father and mother used to read bedtime stories to him. His father spoke of adventure and his mother read him poetry.

Dick's bedtime stories are about love. They're told from the standpoint of a man speaking to a woman. They are about mature love, immature love, requited and unrequited love and even illicit love.

Dick's delivery is also very smooth and intimate. From some of the stories, I felt as if he were saying things I haven't got the words to say. A woman listening will most likely feel that Dick is speaking directly to her.

I'm an unabashed Dick Summer fan and I recommend this CD.

Without getting too syrupy, Dick Summer's CD's leaves you with a feeling akin to the long drive home after an everything-went-just-perfectly first date when you were eighteen (or 48!). Like the Supreme Court justice who couldn't define pornography but "knew it when he saw it", or the "fact" that anything spoken with a British accent sounds "smarter", Dick's work is endearing and personal and defies categorization.

If you grew up in the northeast in the '60s and '70s, you know that Dick Summer was the king of late night radio! He wasn't a bombastic monarch of the airwaves, but a soothing, reassuring and entertaining storyteller. When I first found out about this CD, it was like meeting up with an old friend! You'll enjoy these stories ESPECIALLY if you have company at bedtime ; )! They'll definitely enhance the experience. Even if you're not familiar with Mr. Summer's work, get this CD for some bigtime bedtime fun...
