Howard Keel has one of the all time great, rich, baritone voices of our time. However, having such a richness in his voice also makes certain songs rather awkward sounding. Some of his more pop renditions on this cd were such.

Overall, this is indeed a great introduction to his wonderful singing.

If you are already a Howard Keel fan you will love this collection of songs, some show tunes, some not. If you aren't a fan yet, you will be.

I fell in love with Howard Keel when I was a teenager and saw him as Curly in "Oklahoma" on the London stage, when his name was Harold Keel. My only regret is that every album includes most of the same songs from his movies and he didn't start recording until later in life. I particularly like this CD because it includes "I won't send Roses" from "Mack and Mabel", which is one of my favorites.

What a voice! What a gentleman! What a legacy!

I have been a fan of Howard Keel since he played Adam Pontafee in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Imagine my delight at finding that he had finally made some DVDs of his wonderful bass voice. The DVD arrived timely and in good shape.

Thanks, C. Pool
