4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting,
By Robert Whitaker Sirignano "Robert WS--" (Directly above the center of the earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Concert (PAL) (DVD)
This DVD is probably the only way you can see what Johnnie Ray was in the fifties. His vocals are strong in this production, his stage presence high, his manner unaffected. His song selection goes from the pop tunes "Walking in the Rain" to selections from Gershwin. He is confident, at ease and instills his songs with emotion and grace.
Recommended for fans and people curious to know what his stage manner was. Bob Dylan says Johnnie Ray affected him deeply, and you can hear that in his early music. The production is quiet crisp and clear, marred only by a short, five second video flaw of transmission (the sound is not affected). It's unlikely there would ever be another whole concert of this man's available.

I absolutely love this DVD, as I never got to see Johnnie Ray perform in his heyday. We are so lucky that they were able to capture this concert on film, though in B&W and a little fuzzy. Actually watching Johnnie perform some of his best songs is so much better than just listening to the CDs. I just wish it were longer, as I could have watched for hours. Thank you for making this available!

This review is from: In Concert (PAL) (DVD)
Johnnie Ray was the greatest showman of the fifties as far as music is concerned. He influenced many artists including Elvis, and The Beatles. He was never given the credit he deserved. He lived a hard life and was taken much too soon. This DVD is excellent. The sound is very clear, and the picture is pretty good for a fifties film. The bonus selections were the highlight for me. I think it was an awards show that came out in the seventies because I remember seeing it on TV, but I'm sure they did not show the whole segment. The only song I remember seeing is "Cry". It is great seeing the three songs here for the first time, and in color. I'm sure this was a night Johnnie never forgot for the rest of his life. The audience seemed to really love him and his music. I'm sure it must have touched him to have this great a response this late in his life. This bonus section alone is worth the price. If you love Jonnie Ray you must get this DVD.
