2.0 out of 5 stars
An amazing hoot; one of a kind., December 12, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: David Pascucci Sings Previn & Previn (Audio CD)
You gotta be sitting down for this hysterical disaster. Camp entertainment value is a solid 5 stars but as a serious work, it doesn't even register a twinkle. Pascucci's vocal histrionics rival those of Patty Duke's as Neely. Best cut: "I'll Plant My Own Tree" done to a disco beat. Really.

VERY Pleasantly Surprised, April 5, 2002
This review is from: David Pascucci Sings Previn & Previn (Audio CD)
I've loved both movies ("Inside Daisy Clover" and "Valley of the Dolls") ever since watching them in the 60's. I took a chance in buying this record because I had never heard of David Pascucci, but the material really interested me. I listened to the sound clips and was really quite impressed with what I heard, so I bought it. After listening to the Full record, I was VERY Pleasantly Surprised that this was quite a well made and enjoyable recording. Simply stated: ...it made me feel good! It puts me in a good mood. David's voice is quite good. It's a cross between Barry Manilow and Neil Sedaka. except David's acting ability with a song seems to surpass theirs (Eg: "Daisy", "Theme from Valley Of The Dolls"). It was also very exciting to hear songs that were never heard before from the films. My grandkids expecially like "The Circus Is A Wacky World" and dance around the room when they hear it. His liner notes were very funny and enjoyable to read. It's also nice to hear a singer who's getting back to using a real full-live orchestra instead of just synthesizers. A very exciting new artist with a bright singing career ahead of him.

Don't Even Go There, April 1, 2002
This review is from: David Pascucci Sings Previn & Previn (Audio CD)
While it was an interesting idea to record the songs from "Inside Daisy Clover" and "Valley of the Dolls" this was a real miss. David Pasucci lacks the range to pull this off. I'm sure it will be appearing in the bargin bin before it hits the shelf of your local record store. You'd do better to get the Original Soundtrack album from "Valley" (now available on CD) or even a 1968 version by Patty Duke herself released through United Artists called "Patty Duke Sings Songs from Valley of the Dolls and other Selections" which may be hard to find but it's worth it.
