5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent dance and listening music, October 15, 1998

I've been listening to Billy Vaugn since I was 16 yeas old. If you like Excellent Alto Sax playing 3RD harmonics this is music for you. I've never met anyone who doesn't like his music. It's good to be able to get it on CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Billy Vaughn updates Gene Autry's hit., March 23, 1999

This review is from: Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I used the song "Sail Along Silvery Moon" as a theme song for a radio show I had in Las Vegas in 1966-68. We played rock & roll hits such as James Brown and The Beatles and Wilson Pickett and The Kinks etc. It was an incongruity to play Billy Vaughn for a theme but it worked. I had the recording of "Sail Along Silvery Moon" by Gene Autry when I was a kid. Billy Vaughn did a great job with the melody. For those who may not know, Billy Vaughn also did some hit recordings as a vocalist. He was a member of the vocal group The Hilltoppers. They recorded on Dot and some of their recordings are also available at Amazon.Billy's orchestra was basically a rock band surrounded by horns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of Billy's Best, January 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Billy Vaughn's greatest hits is a good beginning CD for those not familiar with Vaughn's recordings. All are the original DOT recordings(not later 70s rerecordings of hits). The only drawback of this CD is the fact that the cut listed as WHEN THE WHITE LILACS BLOOM AGAIN is not the correct song. The song on the CD is actually MORNING MIST.
