5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific!, July 16, 1999

I love listening to a really excellent singer of love songs and ballads.

And, no singer, not even Crosby or Sinatra, surpassed Eddy Howard, as a ballad singer, when Eddy was at his best.

There are 22 tracks on this CD. Unfortunately, not all of them are vocals ... and not all the vocals are ballads.

But, track #19 alone, "Don't Take Your Love From Me" is worth the price of this CD!

Other tracks which feature Eddy's beautiful voice are "Our Love Is Here To Stay," "It Had To Be You," "Rose Room," "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me" and several more.

My only complaint is that Eddy's opening and closing numbers, "Careless" and "So Long For Now" are instrumentals, rather than vocals.

If you have never heard Eddy Howard, buy this CD, and be prepared for a treat, because Eddy had one of the best natural voices of the past century!

This disk, by one of the less prominent jazz bands, consists largely of predictable song choices (Our Love is Here to Stay, It Had to Be You, Singing in the Rain), but they are well performed and very pleasant to listen to. The full hour of music is nice, too; increasingly, it seems, music disks are no more than 40 minutes long.
