This review is from: I Grandi Successi Di (Audio CD)

About five years ago, I found this album at the Berkshire Record Outlet in Lee, MA, which specializes in remainders and overstocks of classical and jazz albums. Fabulous little store, and you can't beat the prices, but that's beside the point. I bought this on a whim, used the 'Perry Como' track to illustrate some point in a phonetics class I was teaching that summer, lent the album out to one of the students, and forgot about it until the next fall when I wanted to pull it out again. Of course the kid was long gone with the album, and I couldn't find it anywhere on the Web, until now.

I'm so happy.

Martino's got a lovely natural voice in the 'crooner' tradition, and the songs, whether his own writing or cover tunes, are beautifully phrased and sung with a lot of expression. I'm particularly fond of "Perry Como" because it's so funny: Martino uses snippets of songs from his famous American contemporaries: Sinatra, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Elvis -- and imitates their sounds dead-on. The jaded opera-camp teenagers I played the song for went crazy for it -- and, as stated before, eventually stole the album. I can't wait to get the new copy.
