Wow! I first saw this CD on Regis and Kathie Lee. John Stamos was the guest and he said he always listens to it. I first, I bought it as a joke; not many people can say that they own a Regis CD! Then, I started listening to it, and now it is my favorite thing to listen to; even my history teacher likes it. Go Regis, Go!

Regis should have continued to master his true talent...singing! Although he is a great host on "Who wants to be a Millionaire" he could better use his talents as a singing artist. This genius is displayed on "Its time for Regis!" Sounds much like Dylan on Nashville Skykine!

I really enjoy this CD. He has a unique voice and I like the classic songs he sings. The CD is reasonably priced on Amazon.com and I think that anyone who knows these old-time favorties should order "It's Time For Regis".

ADORABLE! I bought this recording as a bit of a joke. But it turns out I was dead wrong. This CD is no joke. It illuminates the attributes that make Regis Philbin so widely loved. His combination of sweetness and spunk shine through each sentimental tune. Those of us who are diehard Regis fans know that Perry Como is Reege's idol. Well, listen to these classic numbers and you will hear an echo of Perry's style. Regis is certainly not an operatic singer; but he can carry a tune and can infuse a song with his bubbly wholesomness. Buy this recording just to make your heart smile.

This album was originally released in 1968, when Regis was Joey Bishop's sidekick. It was Regis's only commercially released album, although he later recorded some albums that he released on his own. Regis had an okay singing voice, but it was certainly nothing special. Also, his style was hopelessly outdated by 1968. The arrangements of these standards are incredibly corny, too. But a few of these songs are good for a laugh. The highlight of the album is the end of "Toot, Toot, Tootsie/Baby Face", where Regis yells out "Sock it to, 'em, Tootsie!". Now, that's (unintentional) comedy!

Regis Philbin CANNOT sing...Let's be honest here...Sure,he's a star of teevee and all,but so are Lettermen,Leno,Oprah,Maury and Jerry Springer,but you do not see any of these people trying to match tonsils with Tony Bennett...And,sure,this album was made 40 years ago,when Regis was a nobody,but that is STILL no excuse for this disaster..I sing in the shower,and am a nobody as well,but you do not see me inflicting my bad voice on the listening public...Now this album might stand as a curiousity item,sort of a monument to the man BEFORE he became a teevee talk show icon,but Philbin has recently released another album of bad vocals,this time with a bigger budget,strictly as an effort to make a fast buck on his teevee status...Given that his new album is NOT any better than his old album (and,in many respects it is worse!),it is obvious that Philbin is a vainglorious doof,who has no regard whatsoever for the listening public...So buy this album only if the money would otherwise be spent on crack,or if you are moments away from death and really do not care where the money goes as long as it isn't left behind for your relatives to squander,but if you are healthy,and not mentally deranged,avoid this album as if it were the plague.

I ordered the CD because i am such a huge Regis fan, i love him, and after hearing him sing in person i really enjoyed ordering the CD. A great buy, suprisingly!

It's pretty hard to believe that in 1968 that Regis Philbin could actually sing. This cd goes everywhere I travel as a Regis and Millionaire addict this cd got me hooked. Great songs that you never tire of. I also suggest you get Kathie Lee's album heart of a woman to also hear Regis's former sidekick sing too.
A MILLIONAIRE AND REGIS ADDICT

At least this album is better than Kathie Lee's.Then again the white noise of a static channel is better than her ill fated forays into music.Get it as a Christmas gag gift for someone with a sense of humor.
