Editorial Reviews

Marty Robbins' brief flirtation with the teen idol crowd during the late '50s may not be his best period in the eyes of most fans, but it did result in some of the brightest, most effervescent vocal pop of the era. Robbins, with the help of arranger Ray Conniff, crossed over to the teen-entranced pop charts and still kept his soul -- unlike Elvis Presley -- with hits like "A White Sport Coat (And a Pink Carnation)," "Just Married," "The Story of My Life," and "She Was Only Seventeen (He Was One Year More)." This Bear Family compilation includes 16 of these gems, none better than the hits mentioned above, but many still a revelation for those who enjoyed the period. Also included is "The Hanging Tree," the one Robbins-Conniff collaboration that looked ahead to his trail-blazing Western smashes, "El Paso" and "Devil Woman." ~ John Bush, Rovi --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

This review is from: The Story of My Life: The Marty Robbins/Ray Conniff Recordings (Audio CD)
While some of these songs have been available for a long time, some are on CD nowhere else, and the entire album is excellent. Marty Robbins was one of the most versatile entertainers, capable of performing in several genres of music... successfully! Ray Conniff's arrangements are ALWAYS good, and these sessions with Marty Robbins are no exception. I happen to be a fan of BOTH Marty Robbins AND Ray Conniff, so I rate this album five-star. Incidentally, the recording quality is super.

5.0 out of 5 stars A trip down memory lane, May 15, 2007
This review is from: The Story of My Life: The Marty Robbins/Ray Conniff Recordings (Audio CD)
If you are a child of the seventies and remember listening to your parent's records then this is a trip down memory lane you need to take. I remember hearing Marty Robbins and Ray Conniff separately but what a nice suprise to hear the ever-talented Robbins and the exuberant Conniff together. Gotta have it!
