5.0 out of 5 stars BEST BILLY VAUGHN COLLECTION AVAILABLE ON 2 CDS!, April 5, 2003

This review is from: The Best of Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra (Audio CD)

I have many of these greatest hits on lps and waited impatiently for a CD release. Because Billy Vaughn had big hits in Latin America, South America, Africa, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, Sweden, Germany and the US among other countries, it is definitely a feat to include just 50 of his most popular on a 2 CD collection. This collection was originally aimed at the German market. Yes, there are some HITS missing including US and German hits but those are available on other CD collections. Some of the tracks are in mono but that is because they either were not recorded in stereo (Sail Along Silvry Moon, Melody of Love, Raunchy, etc.) or a stereo master is not available. The greatest thing about his collection is that many of the cuts were previously available only on 45 rpm singles.

This is the best introduction to the most successful studio orchestra of the rock n roll era.

5.0 out of 5 stars ¡BILLY VAUGHN of the most successful orchestra leader¡, October 30, 1999

By

This review is from: The Best of Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra (Audio CD)

Between 1955 and 1970, Billy Vaughn had 28 singles and 36 albums in the Us Chart alone. In Germany he had a very impressive string of 19 top hits until the mid-1960's. A big two cd offer a good music string and other tunes, "Sukiyaki", "Happy Comboy","Berlin Melody","Come September"...Is a good buy...

I have been playing this album on 33 1/3 / 45's for many
years... CD is great. I'm greatful this album was saved on CD.
His music is smooth and a pleaure any time of the day. After
50++ years of listening to a lot of music (clasic to country)
Billy is in the high top five..
