This new CD from Bobby Rydell proves that the man is not a teen-age has-been, but a very vibrant part of the music scene today. His voice is deeper and stronger than it was in the days of his youthful hits and he does a marvelous job on the standards included in this compilation of songs. Bobby Rydell's fans must own this CD, and those who are wondering what all the noise was about years ago, will find themselves pleased with the quality of Rydell's voice and the talent he displays. Hopefully, this CD is just the start of a trend of many more with new material from Bobby.

If you have admired this singer from this "teen idol" days, you will be amazed at the depth his talent has evolved over the years. This is a masterpiece! His rendition of THAT RAINY DAY is spine tingling. His inclusion of all his great hits was why I originally bought it, but what an incredible surprise I got with his new material!

I just listened to this album for the first time and was pleasantly blown away! More people should know about this CD. Bobby Rydell, always known for his outstanding vocal ability, is better than ever than ever and the band backing him up is beyond description. This is a bright, classy, soulful almost Darin-esque musical collection that will become a permanent fixture in my CD player. We need more music like this today

If you are a fan of bobby as I, then you will love the cd. I hope that there will be a multibox anthology set of this guy. He is a true talent. He can still be seen today in concerts around the country.

I received shipment yesterday and returned it today. It should be tittled Now And Now, the oldies are all resung and they stink. I've been trying for a long time to get his Cameo hits on cd but no luck. If you like Bobby Rydell as a big band singer (and some do) this is for you. It like me you're a purist, this album is not for you.

Wow, what a great new album. Bobby Rydell sings ballads and swinging standards in a terrific voice backed by a full orchestra. This is just the kind of material he should be recording...hopefully the start of much more to come. There are also re-recordings of some of his Cameo hits which sound just like you were seeing his live show. An added bonus.

You know how some artists make an album a little later in their career with re-do's of all of their hits...or most of their hits...plus some new stuff? This is that one for Bobby Rydell. The new stuff is marginal. Some of the old stuff is not the original recording. A few tracks are the originals and leave you asking yourself..."Why did I buy this? I should have just bought his original hits, remastered, on some "Bobby Rydell's Greatest Hits" CD. I wish I had my money back.

I have owned this CD of Bobby's for a few years now and never get tired of listening to it. I have also bought one for in my car. His voice has just gotten better with the years. No one could ever out do Bobby. He is one the the greatest performers. His songs on here are so like him with so much feeling. You just have to listen to it to understand how much he puts into each and every song. I thank him for putting this out there for all of us.

I REALLY BELIEVE THIS ALBUM IS NOT SUNG BY BOBBY RYDELL, BUT BY SOMEONE ELSE. I CONSIDER MYSELF A GOOD JUDGE ON ORIGINAL ARTIST'S VOICES. IF I AM WRONG, I APOLIGIZE.
