WOW!! I never imagined this would come true: A CD with a good selection of Ray Conniff's unique singles. I had all these tunes in vynil, most of them in hissy mono.Now, Collectables gives us this present, a wonderful newly remastered Stereo cd!!
These songs are almost unknown, but I'm sure anyone will be disappointed with them. My favorites are: "WHERE WERE YOU", a beautiful Brazilian song by Marcos & Paulo Sergio Valle and "WE MUST FORGET WE EVER MET". This was a turning point in Ray's carrer when he said goodbye to the old 25 Singers group and introduced great Singers like Tom & John Bahler, Jackie Ward, Ron Hicklin, Sally Stevens, etc. That was a great sound, much more contemporary but still keeping Ray's quality standards.
Great sound! Great album! I recommend it highly!!
Can't wait for Volume 2.

When you listen to this collection, you will have only two questions, (1), "Where has this CD collection been?" and (2), "When is Volume 2 coming out?" This is the one we have all been waiting for, because there are so many tracks in the collection that we heard decades ago as singles on the radio. No Conniff collection would be even remotely complete without this compilation!!

This is another great compilation of music from one of the finest orchestra arrangers. The list covers the 1960s and 70's. I am hoping that when the next volume comes out there will be Ray Conniff's arrangement of the theme from Perry Mason. Another C.D. worth enjoying!!
