This review is from: I Just Dropped By to Say Hello (Reis) (Dig) (Audio CD)

Are you kidding me? No reviews? This has to be remedied.

If you've searched out this cd in hopes of hearing a great Johnny Hartman record you've come to the right place. I, perhaps like you, bought this after I couldn't get enough of the 6 tracks from the John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman record. This will not disappoint.

Let me compare him to a great. When I hear Frank Sinatra sing I feel like his voice was sent directly from the heavens. I feel no less about Johnny Hartman on this disc. Just listen to Hartman's version here of "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning," a song Sinatra did so beautifully, and I believe you'll be sold.

Hartman's baritone voice is one for the ages. The one-two punch of this and the Coltrane record are the proof. I know little about his personal story but he seems, for whatever reason, relatively unknown. It's a shame there is not more of his music available but "I Just Dropped By to Say Hello" is a treasure.
