5.0 out of 5 stars
Lucky you!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Plays & Sings (Audio CD)
Consider yourself lucky to find this, especially if you are only around 40 years old! Growing up in the musically eclectic Chicago during the 40s-50s gave some of us a head up on Matt Dennis, and many reasons to dig his style, which was definitely hip to the times...why, I was singing "Everything Happens to Me" at the age of six! It fit then and still does. The surprise is how well he holds up more than 50 years latter. In a lucky turnabout for fans and listeners, NPRs incomprable Terry Gross was recently being interviewed, talking abouŻ Matt Dennis, and giving his music airtime. It sure kicked off my quest for this recording...and what a reward it was. There was a time (pre-Amazonian, of course) that you couldn't even hope to find this record. Buy it and smile at your good fortune!

the best singer and songwriter you've never heard of,
By
This review is from: Plays & Sings (Audio CD)
Because he didn't write directly for Hollywood or Broadway, Matt Dennis never got the kind fo acclaim that Cy Coleman or Johnny Mercer did. But he composed some of the most beautiful songs ever written - several of which are on this cd. He also has a witty and charming voice. Every Matt Dennis cd is worth owning, but this one is the best.
