I bought this CD because I'm a huge Rosemary Clooney fan and this band, of course, was her entrance into the world of music, along with her sister, Betty. Unfortunately, there's precious little of the Clooney sisters and far too much of Mr. Pastor. That's not to say he's bad, but he's undistinguished...in fact, not even as good as Bob Crosby, and that's saying something! For me the highlight of the collection is "Grievin' for You," a delightful early Rosemary solo. This album is a little bit of musical history, but not something I'd listen to over and over.
