'S Awful Nice is the third of Ray Conniff's independent albums after having made a name for himself as the back up orchestrator for such singers as Johnny Mathis. Each song on this album is a classic that Mr. Conniff brilliantly re-orchestrated to expand and amplify the richness and style that each song already possessed. The entire album is a study in the taste of the times and 'S Awful Nice is Ray Conniff's answer to the late '50's American's desire to bring music into his home that created an aura of happiness, style, and success.

S' Classic Conniff! This CD was created to musically take you back to to "a better time," when truly beautiful music was "in." Among his very early LPs, these selections will definitely keep you interested as they move from lively tunes of the forties and fifties to the velvet love songs of the times. "The Very Thought of You," "Say it Isn't So," and "All the Things You Are" are guaranteed to musically charm you into a "mood."

If you want to hear the best instrumental and vocal arrangements, then this Ray Conniff C.D. is the one to enjoy.The liner notes on the C.D. says "another scintillating example of Ray Conniff's imaginative work". Those words couldn't be said any better.The orchestra and voices do a superb rendition of classics as "It Had To Be You","That Old Feeling" and "Lovely To Look At". If you are a fan Ray Conniff I know you won't be disappointed! You just wish there was music like this today!

The product was not received. However, after two months I sent an e-mail explaining this fact and my account was credited the next day. That's very good service.

Another incredible album from the king of Happy Listening music, this was the fourth album and the third in stereo sound; like its predecesors, this album contains many beautiful songs very well arranged; from the happy tunes like "Smoke Gets In Your eyes", "Paradise", "It Had to Be You" and "lovely To Look At", to the very romantic ones like "Lullaby Of Birdland", "April In Paris" and "June In January", this album is very enjoyable to listen and a very good item for your Ray Conniff collection.
