Editorial Reviews

This CD contains classic doo wop songs lovingly crafted into smooth late-night listening, for a mature audience, in Kenny Vance's inimitable style. During a long and varied career as a singer, songwriter and producer, Vance has worked with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker in their pre-Steely Dan days, been a long-time member of Jay And The Americans, and been involved in films and several solo albums. Licensed from Kenny himself, this compilation takes tracks from several albums, including the original soundtrack of Looking For An Echo, Lover's Island and Out Of This World. 24 tracks featuring Lonely Way, The Way You Look Tonight, Stormy Weather, To Be Loved and many more, including four songs that are previously unreleased!

5.0 out of 5 stars Polished performance, April 7, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Soundtrack to the Doo Wop Era: A Kenny Vance Collection (Audio CD)
If you like Doo-Wop I highly recommend giving this cd a listen. They have a way of re-doo-ing, these songs that is really smooth. Close your eyes and let it take you back. The harmonies, the music itself, is top notch. If you've never heard Kenny Vance and the Planotones you owe yourself a listen. You won't be disappointed. I'm not an expert, but I have 2 cd's by them, and I am impressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, January 1, 2008
This review is from: Soundtrack to the Doo Wop Era: A Kenny Vance Collection (Audio CD)
I had the privilege of meeting Kenny Vance at a doo wop convention a couple of years ago. That is when I became a fan. I had a couple of his cds but just purchased this one recently. It has 24 songs which is pretty rare when it comes to cds. It's fabulous. Even though some of his songs are found on other cds I have, I still think this is my favorite.
