I do NOT agree with the other reviewer who seems very grumpy! First of all, the sound quality is spectacular, and has that terrific warm 78 sound, that real music lovers like. 2nd of all, Eberly never sounded as hip and swingin' as he does here, as compared to his later recordings where he plays the square jaw crooner, to O'Connell's hip chick singing. Here Eberly is actually hip and cool! These are the recordings that find Eberly in his prime! The songs selection is SUPERB, every cut is exellent, if you don't happen to know all the songs SO WHAT!!! Eberly adds his cahrmign and warm baritone to every track, he was one of the most appealing Croaby imitators in America.

If you like good crooning, swinging big bands, jazz and hip singers, you'll enjoy this, but don't overanalize it, the way the other reviewer did, he can go crawl back into his hole. This is great music!!! You will love it!

Excellent male vocal of traditional pop. It also has avery good accominament to showcase the vocal.

I was very disappointed in this CD. Selection of songs I did'nt care for. Some of the songs did'nt sound like Eberly. The best of the songs are "The Breeze and I" and "I Understand" and "I Hear A Rhapsody." The recording quality was poor.
I also bought "Jimmy Dorsey and his greatest hits' which included Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell which i liked much better
